  13. ricearu if I cant drive my truck or sube in 4x4 on dry pavement I DONT WANT IT I live in a ice and snow climate. Ive been driving and buying 4x4s for over thirty years. Not one has ever broke do to dry pavement 5 subarus 3 scouts 2 dodges 2 chevys st8 axeles 1 S10 3 jeeps 4+ fords plus others
  14. Yes they will shift on the fly. I've engaged mine at 50+ to test if 4wd works and there's nothing around but pavement ........... do not have your friend in the car that wont be quite. you want NO DISTRACTIONS you want to hear everything. Find a average residential intersection. In 2wd drive circle starting big going smaller drive left drive right. listen to the sounds and feel the wheel (no binding) like noise In 4wd hi DO NOT use low do the same thing start big go small go easy on the fuel you will hear and feel the tires (binding like noise)
  15. LOOKS good that a nice wagon:clap: now we sizes lift and tires any buy the way good job
  16. thank you first on search This is a first for me .25 seconds and i have the answer

  18. thought that too plus its only camber. caster is fine ....... steers fine I did drive in the neighborhood steered strait no pulling
  19. Idea #2 suspension arm bushing.............I cant find any camber adjustment
  20. Yesterday I picked up a 82 gl 4WD wagon 153000 motor sounds great. It has a broken clutch cable so not drivin yet. drivers side front tire is tilted, sloped, leaning, out a whac, top in bottom out. I looked at the ball joints feel ok. what eles could cause this? yes Ive searched the forums till I cant read any more. Ive never worked on a strut car suspension. I got a Idea could the struts be dead and flat cause this. cause from what I understand I could turn those nuts up on the struts and get lift but get a lot of poss camber :-\
