Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Something keeps shattering my front Right Wheel Bearing..When I replace the bearing all is good until I'm offroad and lock in the hubs...I get a grinding noise at the front still and then if I push too hard for too long..eventually after 3 - 4 trips out somewhere doing this the wheel bearing will go ...

At idle on my 4JB1T's Boost Guage it is sitting at about 1PSI all the time....When you rev it and it hits boost it goes all the way to just past 11 but not all the way to 12...

I never did end up seeing your problem Jimmy.

Kurt that sounds like your FWH, are they autos ? J Top Nope they are manual hubs....The front right wheel has lots of play when you kick the top of it where as all the others are fine in that respect and dont move at all. I'm thinking either wheel bearings or the hub/axle or something along those ...

I am having a similiar problem except mine seems to be coming from the front right of the car and i can feel a vibration throug hthe steering wheel and pedels at the same time. When i slow down and turn and also when I'm doing 110 on the highway its like a clunking grinding noise and doesnt go away ...

Well for those that are interested...It was the bearings on the CV that were almost out...apparently the cv has come disconnected from the hub and there was no drive to the front right wheel and there was limited and about to be no drive to the front left wheel...hopefully problem sorted.

Hey guys, Its been a rough two or so weeks for my MU....poor thing has taken 2 bumps to the rear right panel...one dinting and one severly scratching the paintwork and to make things better i got a puncture the other night and had to limp home...but thats another story. Anyway when i was out at ...

i do what blkmav does run them at 36 so when driving they expand to 40......

Is it a higher tyre pressure that increases Tread wear or a lower one becasue there is more surface area?

whoa that sounds awesome.....your gonna have to get us some pics though you know that.......170kw odd s/c v6 powering ya you'll never get stuck

I think i need some 35's and a body lift before trying this sucker again....had rear left off ground 2 ft or so :(

Random Weekend Outing

Stopped at hightide on Fraser Easter Long Weekend while my mate in his Discovery topped up water after overheating for the 2nd of 40 times in the weekend :(

Few weeks back but.....
Getting dirty in the mud (Got bogged was first time off road didnt have pressures down, let mate drive he saw puddle and thought YEAH ! )

Thanks for replys guys....i spose i shoulda thought the rice shops would have em but didnt know if they were dodgy like most things from there or not.......Where abouts should it be mounted? Flat area on dash only?

Hey Guys....Just wondering if anyone could tell me where abouts i could find a tilt gauge with front back left and right readings.

Cheers

Hey Guys....picked up my 92' 2.8TD 5spd MU on Friday night. She's pretty clean and i gotta say im loving her.....or it....whichever heh got a pic that the guy who sold it to me took but id rather get some better ones myself so ill put that up and update it later on. Im interested in finding out ...

first place would be to goto holden and they will supply and fit it for you but for a nasty fee most likely. Apart from that i cant suggest any sydney wreckers to you because im from the Gold Coast so im no help there. Check the yellow pages usually no shortage of them.

Cool, Thanks again. Few more questions based on some of the replys. - Down here on the gold coast they dont allow driving on the beaches therefore im assuming it would be the same driving on the beach from Noosa North shore until Rainbow Bay? and can you even drive all the way from Noosa to Rainbow ...

Hey Guys, All going to plan, and no reason why it shouldnt, ill be picking up my 5spd '92 MU Friday or next Monday and im going to start planning a trip up to fraser for the Easter Long weekend. Anyway because ive only driven 2 commodores in my time, before i get ahead of myself i wanted to ask you ...

Thanks for the replys guys......someone put a deposit down on the one i was looking at before i had a chance to get it to a mechanic and get it checked out. Back to the search i guess....whats an average price for the 91-92 model 2.8 TD now days? the one i was looking at was $9.5k

Hey Guys, my first post but ill get to the point Im looking at getting myself a MU and have been keen on them for some time and i figured why just look at them why not jump right in so pretty much i found one im interested in and getting it c hecked out on the weekend but i need reassuring that ...
