Awesome thanks
white truck?Found that worrisome vibration that's been bugging me... There wasn't a single needle bearing left in the cap, only powder.
Nope, red one. I was worried that something about the torque converter was out of balance or had damaged the transmission because I could feel the driveline vibration. Saturday I had driven the truck and when I backed out of the parking spot and then started forward, it made the tell-tale rhythmic squeak/shriek. I drove it gently and hoped it would make it home one last time.
108K miles on it, hundreds of quarter mile passes, thousands of miles of towing, a couple hundred miles with a really bad pinion angle, so I'm definitely not surprised. It was due. I'm glad it didn't give up on me when during one of the times punched it on the highway and leave the driveshaft hanging in the loop.
Universals are always overlooked. When I was tearing into the Crown Vic; I pulled the driveshaft to change them out. The rear universal was seized into the yolk and I had to use the balljoint press to get it out. When it did start moving; the cap exploded and sent shrapnel (yes, you're reading that right) into my basement. Couldn't imagine having an emergency and having my mechanic do that. He woulda cussed me out when I would go to pick up the car.
And the side with the wobble was the side that took the brunt of the hit when you went 4 wheeling right? I mean I know you didn't hit anything substantial, but that seems to be the only thing that makes sense??? Looking forward to your review of the disc swapRebuilt the rear brakes on the white truck last week, had to replace the wheel cylinder on the driver's side. It was only putting pressure on the secondary shoe, so it wouldn't generate any kind of stopping power on that side.
New PowerStop shoes for it.
I have a set of Dillon's rear disc brakes to go on the red truck, but I'm going to pull the rear end out of it, do a complete rebuild, get the axle tubes welded and check to see if the axles are true because one of the rear wheels is wobbling. Swapping wheels between trucks, the wobble stays in the same place. Hopefully a bearing. I really can't imagine that I twisted a Strange axle with my cushy launches.
Those look cool, I am now interested them for my L. I need bright, I have TOO many critters near the roads that I drive.
My housing are clear with no metal reflector for the bulbs, and they dont reflect/project the light good, and I have LED bulbs (cheap ones, but they are bright)Yep me too! I installed LED bulbs which are much brighter but don’t really like the way they project light.
