Just wondering if this is normal
https://vimeo.com/169933561 Was just wondering if this type of movement is normal on the passenger CV. I've never tried moving it like that before but since I've been getting some vibes recently (which I thought I had narrowed down to u joints) figured I'd give the CVs a good shake down Sent...- TheBlueKJ

My Blue KJ
Dude the springs were going to fall out of their perches if i lowered the axle to full droop. My brake line was the only thing keeping it from spinning so the diff cover was facing the ground. The pinion angle was way off. You couldn't possibly drive it the way it was sitting. Even Marlin said...- TheBlueKJ

My Blue KJ
The way it is, is that when you adjust it in all the way the pinion angle is very extreme to the point where the springs were falling out of the spring perch. I need to cut some of the threaded rod off to be able to adjust it into spec. I emailed marlin about it and told me thats what needed to...- TheBlueKJ

My Blue KJ
I had to redo my wheel bearings and axle seals since the seals I used the first time were SKF and not Timken and were leaking like a sieve. It was relatively clean in here but the oil was pretty milky, idk if the water got in from the bad seals or breather so I extended the breather up to...- TheBlueKJ

Best rotors for KJ ?
Because with lateral runout there are inconsistencies on the rotor surface some areas being thicker than others that cause the caliper to go in and out as the pads go over the different thicknesses. Once you machine away those differences the problem goes away Sent from my iPhone using the...- TheBlueKJ

Best rotors for KJ ?
Well to answer your question as to why we dont turn them anymore is that now a days most manufacturers make their rotors thinner to reduce weight to improve mpgs. It pretty much means you can only get maybe one resurface or throw em away Sent from my iPhone using the power of children's laughter- TheBlueKJ

Motor flush
I swapped to mobil 1 synthetic at 120k. It definitely cleaned out the motor as I could see a difference in the oil color over the past few oil changes. Only drawback was it cleaned out the gunk sealing up some leaks. I see this as a good thing though since now that I've fixed them all I have...- TheBlueKJ

Best rotors for KJ ?
More is not always better? You sir do not understand how brakes operate then. You need surface area to absorb heat. Once the rotors can't absorb anymore because they are heat saturated you get brake fade which means they won't be working very well. The pads transfer the kinetic enrgy of the...- TheBlueKJ
