South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Come on up again, they filled in the Soup Bowl pretty good now. It's like a kiddie pool of poo water

 

Status report:

Both axles are definitely fubared. One was really loose, the other had no grease left.
The right front wheel bearing was FUC$#$%ED. The tire had a lot of play in it.
The left front caliper was seizing up as well.

I already had the axles ready to go. A new NSK (oem) wheel bearing and a new caliper should be here tomorrow. I'm absolutely not driving it home.

 

Good call! Better you wait on it than get passed by one of your wheels in the highway.

 

Thank you everyone for the well wishes.
Much appreciated.

Trip to PA soon.

 

you always replace calipers in pairs

 

You getting the suspension put on at the same time?

 

No. Haven't ordered it yet. I'm just getting it road worthy and baselined first. Make sure no other issues pop up.

 

I may eventually. I'm going on the recommendations of a long time Lexus mechanic that also has a lifted GX. As of right now, we're just replacing things that we know for sure need to be addressed.

 

Boring!

 

We love it up here it’s so pretty!

 

He just proved to me that he’s an idiot. You always do them in pairs. Zero exception. Your other one will fail soon, ask me how I know.

 

Nooiice!

 

^ can tell your not from the upstate. Wish i wasnt

But Dealership mechanics are the best.

 

We live in Moncks corner but haven’t ever been to Tennessee

 

What part of TN? That looks like the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge area that we took our Hurrication destination last year. We stayed in similar looking cabins through VRBO.com.
