Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

This just happened to one of my buddy 1st gen.

 

Balljoint?

 

I'm not sure he said he wheel just fell off HAAHAHA. I wasnt there.

 

Dude that’s my fear also, mine is the original from 1996. I should really replace or at least inspect mine.

 

Reminds me when I had my front passenger tire fall off while on the freeway on my old 4runner after coming home from a mod day. Some of the folks might remember that one from years ago. Improper torque of the lug nuts caused the lugs to shear off. Thankfully I caught something was wrong so I was slowing down and was in the far right lane but still rough.

 

Oh hey! I remember hearing about that.

 

Here’s a cleaner pic. Ball joint you say?

 

yep. Looks like it.

 

hate when you come back from MIA and have to 'norcal spotted' in the search to find thread.

anyone have a recent MET report?

 

MET, 49, and Ice house looks like this on Saturday.....

hope this helps

 

thanks man. helps a lot!

 

I’m paying for this in ways I should have remembered.

 

Everyone loves good BJs

 

Awe yes. Feel the burn!

 

Well....going to give these O’riely’s a try

 

Have a pair in the 3rd gen runner, no issues after three years

 

Thanks! I’m glad to know. try to get it installed today.

 

What do you guys think? should I just replace the LBJ while I’m doing the CV axle? Or is a little grease leak is normal?

 

Happy Veterans Day to all you crazy bastards who served. Thank you all.
