    Another front end pop and shimmy thread

    well thinking it might be cv axles. Looks like there’s some play even with new flanges so my splines might be starting the It’s kind of a mix between a pop and click. I stumbled upon some videos of axle play and definitely think this could be the issue. With foot on brake I’m getting cv...

    Correct. The last thing on my list is cv axles at this point. Ball joints were just replaced less than 2k miles ago and I just double checked them and they’re fine. not since everything’s been replaced unfortunately or fortunately

    Another front end pop and shimmy thread

    Rides at 21.5” sway bar end links and bushings also replaced with extended ones for the lift. Bushings in rack were also new. Rear control arm bushings have not yet been replaced but the pop is definitely coming from the front left.

    Just had shocks replaced at a shop with new hardware. Double checked torque as well on those after 500 miles. Lca and uca were torque at ride height as well.

    P0420 Code Solved, insights gained

    Followed this thread and ended up replacing the down stream O2 sensors. Fix worked for about 500 miles and then the P0420 code resurfaced. Going to recheck fuel trims today and see but at this point I'm thinking at 276k miles that the cats are probably actually bad. Anyone have this code...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    That’s what I thought too but previous owner only got 45k on a set that I just took off and they were completely shot. Hoping it was just a bad batch

    Spc uca 100 help!!!!

    Dang that’s unfortunate to hear. I guess I’ll see how they operate for me over the next couple months. Just reached out to SPC and a set of washers is $51.40 plus freight!! Absolutely insane for a set of washers.
