U Joints are OG to my ownership, 70k miles and on my list to replace.
I did notice a visible gouge in the FR rotor when I had the wheel off, but I would not say it was drastic. It made a 360 on the rotor, maybe a couple mm deep. The rotors were replaced when I did the axle overhaul.
I’ll add, front DS tire has same movement.
Here’s a pic of the front drive shaft, there’s an indent on the rust spot but no fresh metal to indicate rubbing.
I’ve had a grinding noise from the front right to middle right side of my cruiser for a few hundred miles. Sounds like a whaw whaw whaw only between 13-20MPH. Not a consistent sound, about 1 second between the whaws.
Cold/hot same. Left turn right turn same.
I took a rubber mallet to the...
When rear doors are opened, only the 3rd row seat light should illuminate. I would check the PS rear courtesy light switch too.

SWITCH ASSY, COURTESY LAMP (FOR REAR DOOR)
The door lock motor can be replaced with Aisin DT 089 from Rock Auto, I had poor luck w/ trying to...
The two problems likely are not related. My guess is door jamb switch and door lock actuator motor. Does the overhead light come on when the PS rear door is opened?
Thanks y’all, fixed the washer issue and relocated the clamp so it’s not contacting down pipe. Ended up putting in a new screw and nut I had on hand.
Next question, has anyone removed this bracket? IIRC I tried to unbolt it but it’s semi-permanently integrated to the MAF. It just bothers...
When the shop did my reinstall, I don’t think they oriented the wastegate clamp properly. Two questions:
1) which direction should the clamp/bolt face. You can see it’s currently contacting the down pipe.
2) Pretty sure that’s not original hardware for the bolt and nut, what size do I need?
If any of you have CarPlay, there’s an app (OnTrack) that works with Bluetooth OBD2 readers to display data on your head unit. You’ll need a specific Bluetooth reader and the app is $30/year or $4/mo
I was a little hesitant, but the reader immediately paired with the app and displayed data. I...
Mine appear original and are in various stages of deterioration. I think I could sand smooth in place to avoid warping, than apply something like 3M rubberized coating.
This gauge is what the shop used to make sure turbo setup was good, didn’t think to look at instructions. FWIW I’m at sea level with high pressure today, 30.05
For s***s and grins I connected a cheapo Bosch to the T fitting on the upper intake temporarily. What am I actually looking at?
@ idle shows 20 vacuum
Here's a driving video, starts at 20 vacuum then gets up to 3-4 pressure. I was 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and maybe 40mph, no more than 3500 RPM...
Rebuild #1 included larger Brian Crower valves, 33mm intake & 39mm exhaust according to the invoice from the now defunct engine builder/machine shop. The engine ran perfectly prior to the rebuild minus oil consumption, i.e. no HG failure or overheating. I just wanted it to be solid for the...
