Arghh... So simple a solution. I'll post trouble first then fix. If you guys remember I busted my front diff a while back and was trying to change the whole axle housing. Under Dweb advise I had the crack welded. Solved that problem! Next I installed a used diff since mine broke due to hit. Soon after I would get a grinding sound ala bad bearings when I would come to a stop. Only then. I pulled the front axle to isolate trouble. Same. I changed front discs/bearings/pads etc. Went away for a few days then came back. (tearing hair out) I then changed out the rear output bearing on the transfer case as I felt the vibration really bad coming from the back (don't ask) Again.. went away for a few days then came back. (cursing the LR) Changed the u-joints up front due to possible trouble. No Change. Today I decided to do the rear discs/bearings but before then it was time to rotate the tires. Yep. Guess what? That fixed the trouble. So Simple of a change. (smacking head duh!) I had read on Archives that un-rotated tires cause this type of symptoms but I'm a believer now! Thanks again, Alex Cabrera | ||

Well, at least you have completed some major maintenance. Now you have more time to wheel!  | ||

Yep.. lots of work to find out that it was a simple tire rotations. :-) Anyways.. As far as maintenance... there is no end in sight! Heheheh.. getting ready to do the power steering hoses to fix a bad leak from high pressure hose. |
