Rj70 few issues / questions (2 Viewers)

[kaahari]

New member from Finland... so sorry about bad English I have lurking before on this forum prior making account but didnt find exact answers to these issues / questions.
I you have knowledge, i would appeciate! (Rj70, 1991, 22r, 5spd manual, short)

1) Drivetrain (??) code on chassic plate is G255. I have only seen 14x codes on threads... do anyone know how it differs on other drivetrains? Full syntax is 181, FA10, G255, G52

2) Key is sometimes difficult to turn from lock to acc. If this issue more related to column lock (button) or actual key barrel?

3) I get small shaking on steering wheel when turning left on slow speeds, feels via steering wheel like something is loose (pulsing). Only on hard surfaces, even without front locks. When shaking steering wheel stationary, i cannot feel it. Bushes "seems" to be ok. Wheel bearing? Axle joint? (On "high" speeds, no broblem and no wandering).

4) And last, what is stock width and offset on stock steel wheels? 15x6 with 0 offset?

Hello,

Welcome to the madness.

Regarding your questions, see below.

A photo of your VIN plate would be helpful.

181 and FA10 are likely to refer to color code and trim, i. e., upholstery type.

G255 is your axle type. The last digit is 5, which means you have a factory limited slip differential.

G52 is your transmission type.

70 Series keys become loose in old age. If pressing the button does not help, consider changing your key cylinders.

The shaking/wobble suggests your steering linkage and tie rod ends need repair or replacement.

Typical wheels are 15 x 6 or 15 x 8.

Thank you for reply!

I didnt know about rear diff so I checked it, there was LSD sticker (under a lot of dirt/undercoating)

I definetly have to inspect front suspension more. More on this, front and rear axles are not in even line with chassic ( lift is 2" ).

I included chassic plate bottom part also:
