lifted pickup with toytec 3" now got vibrations

this doesnt fit a thread cuz the vib is coming from the front but its like a flat spot in a tire type vib.
good
good
bad
good
good
bad kind of vibration.
also i have grease on the passenger front speuing from somewhere below the cv boot. the boot is still sealed, so i dont know, lower control arm bushing? is there grease there?
i dont know.
it is flinging grease throughout the wheel well???

 

Oh i think Will had the cv boot problem (I THINK). is there vibs in the steering wheel? or is it all over the truck (the whole truck shaking)

 

from the steering wheel (it shakes like a cold dog) but from the floorboards too.
like when you have a flat spot in a tire. roll roll roll roll, flat, roll roll roll, flat...

 

yeah i know exactly what your talking about. are the tires properly balanced?


go over everything you did when you installed the Toytec...... something may have come loose.

 

not me....no cv boot problem here.


as far as the shaking and vibes.......................did you install a diff drop for the front(if you have 4x4)?? and its very possible that it could be a tire balance problem.........part of it anyway. you may need a carrier bearing spacer kit for the drive shaft. as for leaking........wipe everything down,drive for a day and recheck..........you may be able to better pinpoint where its coming from that way.

 

check the boot carefully.is the grease laying on top of the lca?the smallest crack/rip/tear from the boot will throw grease.

 

also did u install the front dif. drop?

 

started by taking the tire off
sway bar
brake line mount
lower strut bolt
three bolts atop the strut tower
bolted tower to spacer
replaced in reverse order.

had alignment done 3days later (eds tire factory, did it- dont go to them-idiots!!! they say that my truck will not drive straight because of the lift. did before and after the alignment it still should. many of my friends have them and they dont drive left-then right-then left aghhhh!!!
anyways.

edit: yes on the diff drop.
how do you drop the carrier bearing? 1" of washers? can that be done? im cheap. now cuz of the extra cost for buttcuss
noticed the pull and the grease and took it back 2 days later and they said it was my lift that makes the car track like a sidewinding snake in the sand.....
and that the grease was just run off!!!???? from what? i didnt grease the truck inbetween the lift and the return trip.
also got the oil done and the mechanic said that the boots look good. but.. u know i havent looked myself...

 

for the carrier bearing.....try a quarter inch at a time, but you definitely dont wanna go over an inch of drop........could make it worse than it is. you may need some rear axle shims.................send a pm to chris4x4 and ask him about them. tell him Will said wassup!!!

also....double check your boots again, and honestly....you may need to get another alignment from a different place, and and tell them to give you the print out. for a total complete alignment.....you will need a set of uca's........................total chaos and all pro and light racing have them. pricey...sure, but they get the trucks geometry back to where it can be aligned close to perfect.

 

i use him like a whore in the night while the wifes away...
oh hi wife how is the weather..............
bang...............yelling.........

um.... does anyone have a bed to allow me to crash tonight?
will do

 

the alignment was and is in spec, which is what i thought.
the mechanic at eds said "even with UCA's you will wobble" and i said im never coming back here you are an idiot.
the grease is only on the passenger side and looks like it is from the LCA bushing under the cv boot but that wouldnt make the flicking grease crap.

what about the lurching grinding vibration that is constant but(comes and goes consistency) goes faster with speed and slows also. i thought it would be a CV axle or what ever you call them? could that be it?

 

im going to go on a trip soon and need this fixed
les schab should fix this, gulp, i hope.
lift 300
fixing crap on lift
150 and counting

 

did you know that that is the same design spec wise as the toytec. and about 30 cheaper i payed like 300 for the tsb aal and 3 inch spacer and shipping. and you dont need a spring compressor.

 

Could you explain this a little better? How would you know whether or not you got it back into it's original position?
