Truck was wobbling...not full on death like I went through with the D1 but it wasn't riding well. There was a light rumble I could feel possibly coming from the front right.

On recommendation, redid the radius and panhard bushings, tie rods and sway bar links. Also put in the TF Steering Rods.

Did not do springs and shocks, engine mounts or steering damper. I should probably soon.

The truck is riding better/well but I still feel that light rumble. Probably the same.

I'm thinking maybe hub.

 

silly questions:

when was the last time you looked at your front prop?

do you have the 3 amigos on?

 

Might need to have your tires rebalanced. Driving them on the wobbly suspension may have worn them out of balance.

 

^second madland. Get wheels balanced, go from there. Steering damper won't change a vibration, only help hide it a tiny bit. Springs and shocks don't really cause vibrations, just ride poorly and sag when bad. Engine mounts will cause more of a vibration at any speed including stand still.

Did you check the TF rods ends before install btw? I have a friend who got a set that was damaged in shipping.

 

Not something I want to hear after ordering a set yesterday.

 

Haha it depends where you ordered them, the damaged ones did not come from us.

 

thanks guys. no silly questions with me Graham...I appreciate it.

-front prop was replaced less than 10K. Got a nice grease-able from L8. But I'll recheck that today as I didn't think of that.
-yes. i do have three amigos. four if you count Guillo my mechanic.
-the truck is not aligned and needs it after that work, but, i was thinking i didn't want to do it twice and if its something else suspension related i should find out what first. MAYBE.
-TF stuff looked great and undamaged. also i really feel the "wobble/rumble" was there before i put them in.

Amigo is coming over later so we'll begin to look.

 

With your 3 amigo's and you hearing the rumble and the wobble then it's time to get the jack out and give the wheels a good shake.
Don't forget to use the chocks!

 

Sooooooo. What am I looking for when I do that?

And remind me why the amigos are telling me that please.

Back to hubs?

 

with the wheel in the air and jack/axle stands underneath the frame or the radius arms, yes I like to be safe.... take hold of the wheel at the 3 and 9 o clock position and see if there is any movement or rocking, same again but a the 12 and 6. give the wheel a spin and see if you can here any thing appart from a bit of noise due to rotor/pads touching.....

Amigos are telling you that there is a bad sensor reading due to oscilation of the hub....

Thats the short bus version...
