What kind of engine noise did you have John?

 

I get a slight shake at idle so I had read that it might help. It's still there so I wonder if it is one of the COPS. Just annoying lol. When I started it, I just heard the injector's lightly ticking. The slight shake only happens when warm and when I rev the engine in park it shakes at around 1500-1700 rpm and then gets smooth all the way from there on.

I'm uploading that suspension video too Pat

 

John, you're getting to be quite the mechanic.

 

Thanks Jim. I really want to have a lot of knowledge so I have been jumping at the opportunity on this stuff. It's the only way to get where I want

I could have done without seeing your hairy legs


but yes i'd say LCA bushings you're on the right track. they tend to make a higher pitch metalic clacking sound

 

Thanks to all here helping me learn a liiiiiittttle bit more each day. Made this forum a regular daily stop- try to help if I've been through something, but I'm still aspiring to be a second rate mechanic. I'm probably right at wrench turner...but broke enough to keep pushing.

Thanks all! And I don't get offended when called out for being wrong. In fact...I don't get offended at anything!

 

Thanks Pat, that's what I wanted to hear

 

 

started to do stereo installs again.....installed three head units last night....pretty much oem swap outs to aftermarket ones....

 

Friday I was starting in a plug change on a 01' f150 with the 5.4....very first plug I pulled had a helicoil attached to it....pulled the second one back on passenger side and it too had one of them....put them both back in and called the guy up to come get his truck...cause I ain't messing around with somebody else's screwup....I made up a quote for fixing 5 of them with lock-n-stitches then I tripled it....he hasn't called back yet...of course we've got some village idiot around town too...

 

You should also be able to see "rubbing" marks in the pockets where the control arm bolts into. Like right next to the bushings. It will have a clean spot rubbed through the dirt.

 

I'm not sure if I can see that with my camber kit... I'll take some pics this week

 

I've always been a big Miranda Lambert fan, but for some reason the past month I have been listening to all her albums non stop. There's something about her I really enjoy. I feel like she is one of the artists that has found a great balance between upbeat and nice slower meaningful songs. Every song is great. Can't wait for her new album next month.

 

Fixed it for you
