Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Fucken crickets in here tonight.

 

Yeah put the tailgate down and floor it or unbolt it and do 90 down the Hwy.

Last one I got rid of I cut up into little pieces with my sawzal and put it in my recycling bin. Took a few weeks but it was gone

 

Trying to figure out where a noise was coming from near front breaks. Pulled both wheels. Didn't see anything odd, but I'm no mechanic.

 

What kinda noise and when does it do it?

 

I am, however, a little concerned about the odd shape of the poly bushings on the Total Chaos UCA on the driver side. One edge on the front and one edge on the back this side are misshapen.

 

Did you grease tha without loosening the bolt? While it’s jacked up loosen the UCA bolt enough where it should lay back in its place. Then retorque

 

Can't quite place it. Almost sounded, and to a lesser degree felt, as though brakes were wearing. Rotors look ok. Some slightly uneven wear but nothing scary. Did pull the sheet metal guards away slightly thinking maybe there were rubbing. Did cut away some offending plastic that was hitting in turns and such. Need some further chopping, and weld hammering.

 

Greased per instructions. No weight. Bolt fully loose.

 

Put the wheel back on with a few bolts holding it and shake. See if there’s any play in your wheel bearing.

 

Well, that's not going to happen tonight. Two Makers Mark polished off. Looking at a third. What about the drive, that happening?

 

Maybe someone else can chime in. Looks kinda bulged to me.

 

Yes, it does. It's the drivers side only. The forward most edge on the front bushing, and the after most edge of the back bushing. Weird.

 

Didnt you get my text? I gotta work tomorrow. Gonna shoot for next Saturday.

 

Didn't see text. Work? Jeeze, poor bastard.

 

Definitely bulged out. My TC bushings did the same. Eventually wouldn’t stop making noise and once I removed them I discovered one bushing was shot and the center sleeve was grinding on the outer washer is what my noise was.

 

Well someone got a text. Lol.

That bushing might be your noise

 

My mistake, the bushing bulge in the back side is forward edge, as well.





Again, drivers side only.

 

I don't think you don't 'neeeeeed' to per say. But it can't hurt.

 

Will do, but I find it hard to believe anything could be bent. I'm only just now getting the truck ready for serious wheeling. I've done only light to moderate wheeling. I don't even have a dent in the truck yet.

 

Isn’t that the truth!
