The Cougar is on fire tonight!!

 

It was more of a really.... Did you just say that?!?!?

 

Save the pillow talk for the meet

 

Boom.

 

The back has minor ones. That doesn't bother me. I know it's the leaf springs and bushings. The front driver and passenger sides are what are bugging me. I'm thinking it could be my TC UCAs possibly? They only squeak at slower speeds and when I'm turned at least halfway on the steering wheel. The bushings got greased with super lube or whatever that recommended white grease is and tri flow lube as well.

 

They make lube for that man. You gotta take care of your stuff. Use dry lube or the silicon lube on the ball joints after every wash. You ultimately should clean out all the old lube...but its a pain. Mine squeaked a little for the first couple months but it went away after awhile.

 

My truck has had super squeaky suspension since day 1. Since lifting it, even worse, and I have greased all fittings and also dry lubed the uniballs. Never heard such squeaky suspension, but I just turn up the beats and say f-it

 

I have been using the dry lube on the ball joints and grease shoved in all the bushings. Here are two videos I just took on the way up my driveway that you can hear all the sounds on. Seeing as this only happens when I the steering wheel at least half lock and going slow, I think something is rubbing that doesn't have to do with my suspension or something. I may have accidentally pushed something into something else when I was lifting up the front of my truck. I took off the wheels the other day and jacked slowly from that fat screw at the bottom of the brakes. Maybe that mud guard or whatever got bent? I'll check tomorrow after work, have to sleep now.

You can clearly hear it at about 8-11 second range.

 

sounds like a brake backing plate more than suspension

 

Yeah, alright that's what I was thinking. I thought that if it was my UCA, it would be noisy no matter what. Not just from slow turns and such. I'll have to see where it rubs tomorrow.

 

I know you won't show. You never join us.

Hey you guyz, especially the sac and petaluma peeps, in case you missed my earlier post, we got a big meet and greet coming up


http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/no...norcal-meet-greet-saturday-november-17th.html

 

Are you sure your not mixing him up for me?!?!?!

 

Bump

 

Work

 

bummer, maybe you should call in sick that day

If you know any of the other peeps up there hit them up, it's their big chance to meet a lot of members without a brutal drive.

 

I would have been all over this a few weeks back! I had to pick up a 2nd job that has tripled the mileage I'm putting on, so I have to stick with my A/T's for now.
