Thanks Output Shaft. Which numbers tell you that? I'm learning. Also, can't the VR be replaced or does the entire alternator have to be replaced?

Last two days I drove Lucy (My 86 FJ60) had random battery meter spikes which tapped it out as high as it would go. I noticed the air ramped up and started blowing out harder for 2-5 seconds first then the meter spiked. As soon as the air slowed, the meter went back to twelve. Curious if it...

Started the project, but decided to paint while they are on. Before: After:

Looks great. What did you use to clean the flap before painting? They look shiny and new.

I'm wanting the front and back to match, so I'm going to reupholster them with vinyl to match the panel trim. Wish I could find OEM cloth, but I have a better chance of finding Bigfoot.

Cancel that, I got it.

Where does the square with the yellow square go? It has 3m tape on it.

i just got mine in today. They look good, but no instructions. I don't even know which is the dome and which is rear. Does anyone have instructions on how to install them?

Thank you

Shop called today and said it was a u-joint bearing issue that will be replaced and balance the driveshaft. I'll report back after a test drive tomorrow when I pick her up.

I'm a newbie and learning quickly, but I don't know what "in phase" means? Do you mean the driveshaft being balanced?

My steering wheel would need to be turned 10 degrees to the left to keep the wheels going straight. Shop said it was because of the shackle being broke from frame and that my sway bar was too short. No vibrations before, added a longer sway bar and welded shackle back and vibrations happen now.

I'll ask them today. Thanks

I don't know. It is a local 4wd shop. I'll ask.

That's all they said they noticed. Watched a video about the angle of the u-joints not being zero and how that causes the shakes. Suggested adding a shim to the leaf springs. Could have raised the angle of u-joint coming off the engine by fixing the busted shackle that broke lose of the frame...
