Blackmage Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 PINION BEARING !Sent from my SCH-I545 using TapatalkThankfully the bearing seems to be fine, but I have a ton of fluid coming from the pinion seal.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 well i had a squeak coming from the rear brakes for about the past 2 years. Decided to really dissect it this week and figure it out. The only conclusion that i came to was that there was rust build up between the rotor and where it mounts up against the axle cause it to not spin true/straight.. while it was up in the air I noticed my pinion seal let go, covered the underside of the car, and left a nice puddle on the floor. So everything came apart. I also decided it was time to get some black paint on the rear brakes. Going to fill the diff tonight with fluid and put the brakes back on, hopefully the squeak went away and hopefully by re-doing the preload in the bearings and re-shimming the carrier i got rid of some of my gear noise.

Do you have the stock lower control arms. if so, I had the same issue, i thought it was brakes or the slides for the brakes. Turns out it was the forward rear lower control arms bushing were shot.

Blackmage Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 thing is finally running the way i like it. well, i'd love way more power, but it drives nice with no squeaks from the brakes and isn't giving me any issues. Still need to put in my FLSFC and a couple other misc things, but those arn't mandatory yet! btw, it was 43* the other morning up here... i thought it was fucking JULY and SUMMER?!?! i did put in a dash cam though, this thing is neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 It's been unseasonably cool here the past few days too, only low-mid 70's during the day and mid 50's at night, but 43 is ridiculous lol.It's weird but I like the black wheels, and I usually don't like 6 spoke wheels.

Blackmage Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 this build progresses almost as fast as mine! any work getting done @Blackmage ?Haha slow as hell? I cleaned up the garage and pulled out my 99-04 power steering reservoir bracket and bullitt pedals to put in tonight. But all I did was look at them. Then I made some brats for dinner and started watching more game of thrones.

Blackmage Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Well I think I'm going to switch over to the bullitt style pedals, but I still kinda like my diamond plate ones I made a few years back.. Decisions decisions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
