    vibration/shudder on acceleration

    ^^ here's to hoping I come to the same solution. Without any level of consistency I get shudders upon acceleration at 30 and 50mph, always a bit over 2,000rpm. The wiring harness was resting against the egr valve and blackened the point of contact. I re-wrapped and moved the harness away which...

    Rotational Front-End Squeak under 10mph only in Drive

    Thanks for the advice guys. I got it lifted and there were no stones in the brake areas. The brake pads have equal wear. The usual bearing test proved to be fine. When I manually rotated the hub there was no noise or anything out of the ordinary. The only cause for concern was when I moved the...

    Rotational Front-End Squeak under 10mph only in Drive

    I shouldn't have said "feels like" but "sounds like". The squeak turns into more of a moan as the tires slow to a stop.

    Yes indeed.

    Rotational Front-End Squeak under 10mph only in Drive

    I very well may, many stone roads up here. Even so the squeal is evenly displaced and would the noise of a stone in the brakes dissipate at higher speeds?

    Rotational Front-End Squeak under 10mph only in Drive

    It definitely doesn't continue in neutral and even after a long drive there's no noise until I slow to almost a stop. It certainly is bothersome, especially pulling into the garage. My problem is that if I tear into it I won't be able to emulate the condition unless I'm in Drive and moving...

    Rotational Front-End Squeak under 10mph only in Drive

    Good Day Gentlemen -- 1995 LC80 Symptom: Under 10mph engaged in Drive a rotational squeak is present until a full stop. The noise DOES NOT occur in reverse or in neutral rolling forward but only in Drive. When accelerating the noise naturally increases until it disappears at higher speeds. I...

    New wheel bearings loose

    you might want to tighten both nuts to 20ft/lb or more. despite what others here will say 12lb/ft for new bearings is too low imo. i have mine set at 40ft/lb for both nuts w/ new bearings and with close to a thousand miles its perfect. i have checked my preload three times since the replacement...

    Did you correct your caster? Poll

    Will new bushings on a non-lifted 80 help with a wandering issue?

    Loctite on front bearing nut?

    crappy thing about the circlip is that there are no holes in the ring to help open it. i would think one could get the same size with holes at napa, they have many sizes in their catalog. i used regular pliers to get it off. to get it back on i bought a cheap ring expander tool which was...

    'Modding' Eaton Fan Clutch - How Much Fluid and Where?

    I first put in 6k and it made no difference. Put in 10k and it does make a difference, it doesn't go much above 195 going uphill on a warm/hot day. One thing I'm miffed about - at the first start-up after putting in 10k I got the roar. Since then I no longer get a roar. It still works fine and...

    Quick RTH: How do I know if Birfield is properly placed?

    Front axle rebuild in progress: The birfield bell is all the way in the knuckle but feels loose and when I move it around I can hear it grinding a bit on that inner ring. Before the spindle goes on should the birfield be tight? Thank You

    97 Fan Clutch replacement - super simple

    so the blue is weaker? I just ordered one. I have an Eaton and replaced the silicone with a heavier weight. No roar, no noticeable temp differences and going uphill temp spikes remain. Mind you I've serviced/replaced the cooling system except for a rad replacement which isn't needed. I've read...
