Thread: $700 dollars later and vibrations still there!

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Buzz'nhalfdozen
A few weeks ago i started hearing a rubbing sound coming from the front of my truck when i turned hard to the right. it started right after i swapped out my manual tranny. i checked to see what was rubbing but could find nothing. it sounds like a tire rubbing a mud flap or one of the 4link bars but there are no marks. i also checked the brake lines and no rubbing on them. i went on a long trip ...

Could it be the power steering?

Hope its not your cv joints(or what ever the technical term is) for the axle universal. My 96 makes some horrible sounds and only at full lock to the right, given its got 136k and has not been greased once

the power steering pump is in good working order and i just flushed and refilled it about 2 months ago. I did change out the ujoints as well. It sounds like the kind of noise you get when you have meaty mud tires and they rub the top 4 link bar when you turn the wheel as far as you can

id try greasing everything yuo can find, all the way to the drive shaft. then while the truck is shut off, crank hard right, and let someone ride the brake so you can roll it while being near under it.

Power steering box will sometimes oscillate while turning when the steering valve has alot of wear but that would happen stopped as well as rolling.

while i had everything appart i greased everything that had a zirk on the whole truck. i also have one of those steering box stablizers mounted on the truck and i checked to make sure the bolts were tight and they were. i did leave the truck running and hooked a bungie cord to the steering wheel to keep it in the full locked right turn position and got out and looked and still could not see ...

I am having the same exact problem with my truck. The rubbin comes and goes. I have looked for something that might rub too but I am at the same stage you are. Although, there has also been a grinding coming from the passenger side of late so I think that I will soon be seeing my problem if I like it or not. I hate to hijack the thread but how do you grease all the way back? Do put a grease ...

think i might have figured it out. when i put my pacbrake on i did not have very much room in the engine bay when i put it and the new 4" downpipe in. and the way it worked out the brake sat right up against the fire wall. instead of beating the fire wall in and creating a little space i just left it. i think the brake finally worked through the insulation and is now rubbing the fire wall. looks ...
