    Knuckle rebuild keeps failing

    I will try and find time to look inside to see if it's soup or not. It's leaking between the dust shield and the rotor. It's throwing enough to cause smoke after breaking and to accumulate inside the rim. I didn't over grease anything. Everything has pleanty of room for air. My next step is to...

    Knuckle rebuild keeps failing

    I did take the fitting off and cleaned it out and put a new hose and fuel filter on it up high. I buy my stuff from cruiser parts and if I don't use the Eco seal, Which is supposed to be the best, then I don't get a warranty on my birfields. I only filled it maybe half way with grease. This is...

    Hey everyone. I'm lost. I had a shop rebuild my front knuckles with new seals axle seals and new birfields. Then I started getting grease leaking from behind the driver side rotor.

    Thanks everyone. My birfield ended up just getting warrantied so that saved me the hassle of having to mess with the tone ring

    Tone ring issues

    I'm doing my knuckle rebuild on my 97 fzj80 now and when I pulled out the axle the tone ring fell off. This happened last year and I had a mechanic replace it. When I put it back on it just slips all the way down with nothing to hold it there. Birfields are 2 years old. Any idea what could cause...

    How Much Grease in Steering Knuckle

    I have grease coming out from between my rotor and dust shield and it's getting on the inside of my rim. The knuckles we're rebuilt last year and I haven't done much wheeling and a don't drive it too much. I read in here that greases can only go through the axle seal or through the felt. Mine...

    Oil In coolant

    I replaced the cooler because I was still getting oil in coolant after the HG was done. We looked at the cooler and it looked like there might have been a very small crack the would expand when it got hot. That's why we replaced the whole unit along with new gaskets. All 3. No stop leak has...

    Oil In coolant

    The cap looks pretty clean. Just a little oil on it. No signs of coolant. Every week or 2 I look in the resovoior and there is a little more oil in it. Never a lot. Just a thin layer. I was hoping it would flush itself out. I had replaced all the coolant when the HG was done.

    Oil In coolant

    I have been reading on here about issues with oil in coolant and everything points to HG or oil cooler. I have replaced both. Head was pressure tested and resurfaced and I put on a new oil cooler on. I used to have coolant in the oil and oil in the coolant. Now it's just oil in the coolant. It's...
