Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Wait, I thought you were down in LA

 

U don't need sliders for hollister

 

Going to do my diff fluid tonight for the front. Match book ready.

 

Nope, not going til Monday now

 

I know, I just want em on already lol

 

wheres @Bentrodder and those matches?

Its going to the dealer tomorrow, im done. fed up, dont want to mess with it anymore.

 

I am on my way!

 

i am out of ideas. Everything is tight, CV is fine and not binding. Diff fluid is correct. Still vibrates hard under acceleration between 30-40mph only on the new CV side.

Only thing i can think of is maybe the needle bearings inside the diff on that side? I seriously am out of ideas on what it could be.

EDIT: this backs up my idea

its exactly what im experiencing.

 

I thought it was the opposite. The vibe should go away when in 4wd.

 

thats my understand as well from reading. Im AWD or full time 4x4, however you want to say it.

My shits clean as a referee with a whistle, its 100% not a tire balance issue.

 

Could it possibly be a front driveshaft issue?

 

dont believe so, didnt have that issue previously. I did have some fight with the new CV putting it in. Could easily have f'd up the bearing.

 

Needle bearing for sure. Doing mine Sat. AM.

 

did you ever find a write up or anything? i am pretty mechanically inclined but i do have my limits.

 

Man I would be frustrated as hell also. Reading about all of this is making me nervous cuz after installing my Kings and uniball UCA's I started to feel a slight vibe in my feet between 30-40. I was hoping it was just road vibe transferring through the uniball now that there is no longer a upper balljoint. Might be wishful thinking.

 

ECGS utube video explained all. Have extractor and driver inbound tomorrow. Still need to fix up a seal driver. I do more complicated stuff at work. I just don't have a decent back any more.

 

Mine started after I increased my lift. Had a front end alignment and discovered shot UCA opposite. More looking the drivers inboard cv wobbles in the diff. CV just does not like this new attitude

 

A thousand words

 

well it doesnt help i drove my 4runner with mad CV vibration for about two-three weeks. That could easily have destroyed the bearing as well.

 

What did th CV look like when you removed it? Picture? Bring it Sat.
