no. with enough time and patience you will learn to ignore them

 

You want an excuse for LT

 

Well, just like @eon_blue switches out CV axles every other week, I've learned to pull those cam bolts off easily and undo the bushings.

If a noise is all I'll have to endure, then I'll leave them well enough alone.

 

We all know Miguel is gonna respond with 3 letters: "SAS"

 

We'll see....

I need to go on a bit of a shopping spree this week for the new place.

I sign the lease this Wednesday, pay my deposit, and prorated rent.

May as well furnish the place right away; I'm thinking of bringing the TV stand that I already have at the house though cause it fits the Xbox, PS4, Switch, 4k player, and Dish box.

As the saying goes "do as I say and not as I do"

 

If I recall, you get paid more while you train others; think positive

 

But he's not qualified for British special forces lol

 

Training a replacement can feel shitty. Being able to frame it as helping a new person start as qualified as possible might help instead of thinking about it as a benefit to the employer

 

Welcome to the land of poly (creaky) bushings

I dunno why anyone buys that crap. Replace with OEM rubbers and enjoy your noise free life.

 

The OEM rubbers were $50-80 ea if I recall correctly from my last OEM parts search and LCA bushing thread?

Then I answered on someone else's thread about this very thing because they were surprised at the cost of the OEM bushings; the alternative was to buy some aftermarket LCA's with bushings already in them from Rockauto at the same price.

Again, this is why I pulled everything apart and went to town and used an entire bottle of Superlube on those bushings lol g'dammit

 

Thats what happens when you get polymer bushings

 

Good morning to you too buddy

 

my rubber ones creak too

 

I went through the same things with my leaf bushings. Pay the money and put in rubbers. Yeah they need replaced every 100k or so if you wheel hard but it beats pulling things apart every 4 months to relube. I had my leafs out 4 times to redo/lube the bushings. And the greasable bolts only lube the inside of the bushing, not the outside which is what creaks.
Superlube does dry up too, if you take things back off it will look like someone wrapped your bushing in white PTFE pipe tape. Imo, it aint that great as people say it is.

 

Spetsnaz instead?

 

i need to remove all my fender liners, i suppose something like this is the proper tool for yanking clips??
all the clips will break so i have to get new ones, and will probably have to pull them out again in the spring/summer
it never ends...

 

Nyet!

 

talk to me about FF
as i recall you were one of the first to recommend that product many months ago but I have done much looking into it and I still don't know what i am dealing with
does it chemically bond and adhere to metal with polarity something?
