Yeah, I have a rust spot on my cornea from doing that (with a similar pair of eyeglasses) from a piece of slag that embedded itself in my eyeball for a few days until I went to the eye doctor. "Damn, why is my eye bothering me?"

I still can't understand the love for worm clamps and the hate for constant tension clamps. 🙄

I love retiring previous owners worm clamps… it’s the simple pleasures in life.

Quite a few things getting done to the LX this week but waiting on a few parts that I had not previously thought I needed: What started as a simple lower ball joint and UCA job has turned into much more… Restudding the hubs due to stripping of...

I agree. I may just clean the wire screws more with cleaner on black box side (abs module i believe) and fill up with good dielectric grease and when it all does go out, i will put in the brand new master full assembly. Will try to also take a...

Removing motor, motor/pump or booster assy (motor/pump/accumulator) with master in place. You'll likely have issue with wire screws & nuts on ABS side. They'll very likely will need drilling out. Pulling master is easy and fast. Only area some...

Thank you so much for taking the time to write back! How hard would it be to change and replace the brake control wires out without removing the unit from the car? I see two philips screws on each end of wires. So hard to see down there. But if...

Cleaning, drying and packing wire boots with grease. Slow the corrosion, buying some time. But the resistance has already changed (increased) in wires. How much and for how long, and it's affected the motors commutator, IDK. You can replace...

AHC Pressures: IF these are the AHC pressure readings AFTER changing from “LO” height to “N” height and AFTER waiting for ~30 seconds to ensure that the raise has completed and the AHC Pump has stopped: Front AHC spec: 6.9MPa +/- 0.5 versus...

Sold.

Anybody know what the offset is on these wheels? Looks like they would need spacers to run on a Hundy, though I could be wrong.

The AHC system is having to compensate for the loss of spring capacity that happens over time, and the harshness that you feel in "Sport" is likely related (though there may be other causes, like fatigued globes, as well). It's likely that you...

If you haven't yet, go through this comprehensive guide: The ABCs of AHC - How to Measure, Flush, and Adjust all in one place - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-abcs-of-ahc-how-to-measure-flush-and-adjust-all-in-one-place.1211999/ I looked...

Latest report. Prior report had higher levels of moly and nickel, which I'm attributing to the spark plug and valve cover gasket job I did before that oil change. Copper still high, but not changing, so not worrying about it.

Got the wheels and tires on. 17x9 +58 Lodio Drive Cinq 285/70/17 Kenda Klever AT2 25mm spacers I’m sure this is obvious to most on this forum, but I didn’t know that the front hub bolts foul the hub centric lip on most spacers. I didn’t want to...

Check your UCA cam bolt torque. Mine were also loose after alignment as the dealer tech didn’t torque them properly

I tow a little bit with mine. My camping trailer ls around 2500 lbs loaded and the Cruiser is unhappy going uphill (watching those trans temps was nerve wracking). And on cross country drives you can expect your normally short range/bad gas...

There are a lot of parts that can be replaced ;) . Shock upper and lower bushings, upper and lower control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends etc. You'll also want a snap ring kit (with the different sizes), I think. I...

I changed out my upper and lower ball joints while I was in there but wish I had dealt with my tie rods and upper and lower control arm bushings as well.

Best US "online" prices right now are at Ourisman, at least as of a few days ago. They also beat the $200-off-retail price listed above.

Yep. I just rebuild the front end and had a nasty clunk after. I tore the entire front end back apart and it still was happening. Puzzled, I then realized I never fully torqued down the sway bar link on the LCA. OE ft.lbs and clunk was gone.

I just installed SuperPro bushings on my 2003. That was terrible!!! All of the guidance within this thread was helpful. The need for various chisels, screw drivers, hammers, etc. Got a good workout (abs, neck muscles, arms, back). Probably...

Word of advice... make sure the long bolts don’t have any grease on them... and maybe run some threadlock on the nuts too. Both my steering rack bolts came free after many trips out, and final moment was in Death Valley after many miles of...

Keeping the thread going here with my experience. Used Nolathane bushings, supposedly sister company to whiteline? Not sure though, they were about 26 dollars...

Finally: Some notes: • oil filter had to go to get some room to remove old oem bushings • Pry bar was a huge help more of a requirement to move up and down forward and back the steering rack • Cold chisel worked like a dream • this job can...
