| A twist to the cold weather spindle bushing
I had an experience today with my truck. After 2 hours of 75mph highway driving I had a distinct vibration come over the truck. It could be felt in the steering wheel and on the floor.
As of right now I think it's the spindle bushings.
Until now cold weather problems with the bushings have been with first startup in the morning. But I feel this is my problem. I equate this to the age of my truck and a new problem related to an old culprit.
A few old timers might remember my first bout with cold weather spindles and the trouble I had with finding the problem. This time it's more of a ZEN feeling and I'm ready to react.
I'm not sure right now how I'll proceed but I'm thinking:
2 - 150.00 birfs off of EBay
2 - brass bushings
2 - drive flanges
My thought is to couple the repair with an evaluation of the JDM birfs. Unlike usual Dan only gets a piece of this pie but it's for the better good.
