msavides Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 But theres a wicked rumble in the cabin while in 4WD. Someone suggested maybe a broken spider gear? Any thoughts? It only happens when turning in 4WD. could be as CV joint. out of balance or even busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozsi Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Also what time are we meeting in SJ? We could meet at like 830 or 9? i dunno how early you want to be there. Also, i think it might be a good idea to swap cell numbers with everyone. Mine is 219-771-4899 and my name is oliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoi408 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 jeez... 730? imma have to leave orinda at like 6- 630. I'm with Yozsi. If he has to get up that early for Hollister, it might be over kill. I'd be down for 830-9 at san jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yozsi Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 You know guys... i might not go. I'm just not up to waking up that early and trailering my rig for 2.5 hours both ways for a day a wheeling. Maybe next time, i just worked my butt off this week and im just not up for so much driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably better for me anyway since I'm going to be drinking tonight ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am leaving at 5:30am as well. there is plenty to do in Hollister until the meeting time. No worries. Yozzi , We will have to catch you next time. I kinda wanted to see your truck. I have been toying with the SAS idea but want to keep its road manners. I wanted to see what made you truck have to be towed. I am kinda leaning toward not doing a SAS now..

Yea, catch you guys later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoi408 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Let's see. Well here's my side. Broken new CV. Steering is WAY off and VERY loose (cant stay straight, falls to the left or right). Tires stance is \ / on road. Tranny is shaking insanely hard as I start now. Tires makes chirp/ whirl/ skid sounds all the time now. Brakes makes a high pitch squeal noise every 50 ft the car moves. Oh..... AND OPEN DIFF SUCK! All in all it was awesome to wheeling again. But a hefty bill is to come. PS Uncc, you dont happen to have a spare nissan hardbody in the back of your truck do you?

Enjoi408 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Noticed a few things. I drove the truck home from Hollister which is like an hour drive at most, and my tires are almost blad!!! The tires sit like \ / and the tires make chirp / skid/ whirling noises all the time while on road. And when I get out from the truck the tires smell like I have been burning out all day. The steering wont stay straight, it falls to the left or right and stays like that during a turn. It doesnt straighten out at all. I have to grip the steering wheel hard to get it go straight. And when it does the steering wheel is tilted right. The vigorous jumping when the truck starts in 2wd is back but I think its due to my tires not being worn evenly (outiside lugs are big lug no lug big lug no lug). Since my tires toe in really hard I think the jumpping is from that but Im not sure. When I start slowly the actual stick jumps up and down then transfers into the frame and I hear the clunking start again. I checked the muffler mounts and they all are still in tact. But I did notice in the rear that the broken sway bar did hit the muffler (i could see marks). Rear drive shaft center bearing still has the same amount of play before I went to hollister. Help!

yozsi Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Looks like you have 3 or 4 bent tie rod ends, the idler arm bushings are shot, and i bet the center link is fawked too. That is the reason i got rid of the ifs, even after i had the stage 3 steering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
