Alabama thread!

Poly bushings tend to be noisy also compared to rubber

 

Sup Phil! Don't work too hard.

 

They don't pay me extra for that......so I won't

 

Bro I don’t wanna be driving on the road one day in my truck Falls Apart

I was gonna have my girlfriend come over tomorrow and do the exact thing jump up and down on it and then I was going to see where the sound was coming from! (TWSS)

 

Like Skip mentioned, stethoscope

 

Definitely thought that was a joke lol

 

I have used them for years.
You just touch it to where you think it is coming from and it magnifies the sound a lot. You can use it to listen to bearings too.

 

I’ll grab one then but I’m almost positive it’s lca bushing or bearing for coilover that has dirt in it

 

That piece in the middle slides up and down to adjust the pressure against your ears.

 

I have a set and have been using them for at least 12 years now. They work great for bearing stuff.

 

Sup Jeff

 

Sup Matt

 

just move them around, the sound will get louder the close you get to it.

 

I’ll do that. Got new upper ball joints in a box so if it’s that already got the replacement

 

Ordering parts, I guess the 32 year old brake booster in the Samurai couldn't handle the new rear disk brakes, it stopped working today so I gotta get a new one, they just don't make them like they use to.

And the tension pulley for the AC belts went out yesterday on my spare Tacoma so got to change that tomorrow.

 

Stay wrenching!

 

Went to get a quote on 5.29s for the Samurai and seen this outside the shop. They are putting coil springs on it too and big tractor tires, lol

 

I like mods better than repairs

 

Lol that’s the only idea I have for rebuilding lca, that or buy some dirt king lca and those r expensive....

 

I’m just gonna buy new OEM control arms. They don’t sell just the joint or bushings and replacing the whole arm is easier
