I figured I better let everyone know what I found the problem to be on this post. It wasn't a cracked spindle and it ended up being in the rear...
Thanks Groucho and Joe, I'm gonna try both methods. I pulled the rear brake pads and they are glazed on the surface. I think the ebrake was...
UPDATE- OK guys, I'm getting closer. I replaced the right side bearing and races and the same thing. While driving, I was doing circles making a...
I adjusted the drag link correctly and the steering arm was lowered. I think I'll check it again for lubrication. With the car lifted on one...
I'm sorry guys, lack of info. It's a 56 Ford F100 truck. It still has the straight axle with leaf springs front end. I did install a drop axle...
I was thinking the same thing because I had to pull the axles a few times to install the rear disc setup. However, if it were coming from the...
Thanks Bill. I've been checking with the fine tooth comb for a while. That's the frustrating part. No marks. I did remove the dust cap on the...
Boy, I hope that isn't it either, but I'll check it out. There is an inner race that went onto the spindle with the disc conversion. That race...
My drag link is on the drivers side. The pitman arm comes out just behind the tire and the draglink runs parallel with the whieel. Nothing is...
There are no dust shields on the brakes. I didn't check the races to tightness but did check them when I repacked the bearings and they looked...
The races looked smooth and didn't look any different than the ones that came with the new bearings. I didn't change the outer bearing on the hub...
I'm getting this grinding sound from the front drivers side wheel when I roll slowly and make a left turn. It sounds similar to a tire rubbing on...
Thanks for the great advice everyone. I'm not sure which way to go at this time but am looking at maybe running the line down along the frame and...
I already did the SBC method... that had oil blowby!!! Plus I like going fast!
Your probably correct about the holes needing to be sealed up. I'm just looking for a better way to reduce the smell of oil coming from my current...
I'm running a billet oval air cleaner with a K&N filter. I tried that method before by using a breather with the nipple for a hose. I drilled...
I'm running a 5.0 Ford motor and am having problems with oil smell coming into the cab of my truck. It's worse during hot weather or running the...
I joined a club to relax and have fun with others who enjoys cars and working on them. I became the Secretary (didn't wear a dress):eek:, and...
Well, we took the brake calipers off and I notice the pins where barely lubricated. I also noticed the bushing that slide on the pins were frozen...
I don't have residual valves in the line and was told that I don't need them because the MC is mounted on the firewall and not on the frame. The...
I'm going to pull the calipers off today and see what I have or can see. I appreciate the advice, I'll let you know what I find.
A couple things I would look at, First check if you have anything arcing under the hood like a spark jumping across something. I'd also check...
I did a disc conversion using GM calipers on my 56 Ford F100. The bearings are new, rotor, pads and calipers have about 5K miles on them. When I...
I understand where you at with running a tunnel ram or multi carb intake. I have a 289 Ford and wanted the same thing to look cool or stand out...
If you ask me, that's one sweet looking stock truck!. Seems I've seen it somewhere before???? :confused:
Air bags and BDS blower for my 56 F100.
