RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" Less Slow Now

Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN SHTUFF)

I hear that's slotted rotors, some make noise some don't.
 


Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN SHTUFF)

I heard that too, they're almost done with the alignment then I gotta take it out on the highway and make sure this damn vibration is gone. If not bills gonna probably change my name too unbalanced tires or something haha.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

A lot of work but worth it. Those calipers could use some paint on them down the road.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

Yep and i still have it, 55+ car shakes plus you can see it in the wheel. Im getting the tires balanced again and if that doesn't fix it I give up. Im torquing the lug nut too spec in a cross pattern and everything no idea what the problem is anymore.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

Clean the hub surface of the rim yet? I've seen it make a difference
Just remembered you have aftermarket wheels. Still could be checked
 


Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

And i still have a clunk in the front which I think is the subframe or swaybar bushings also when turning the wheels while stopped but thats probably the ISS. So defeated right now. At least it rides better and doesnt vibrate when i hit dips in the road.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

Yeah. All the stock wheels always get the coating of rust on them, of course they don't rust, the rotor does. So it builds up on the rim and causes it not to sit flat

Yeah check LCA bushings, mine were bad and obvious. Made a tapping more than clunking.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

After i got the alignment and tires rotated i seemed too have noticed it more so again I'm just drawing blanks now
 


Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

Wire wheel works well (not too coarse). I have one on my angle Die grinder. Scotchbrite can work too. Only clean the surface that meets the rotor. Also put some antiseize on that same surface to prevent it from corroding again. We did that to my friends car and it stopped his vibration
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

I'll do it once i stop being pissed off at the damn thing. I might just have belle tire do it because im just done with everything right now.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

I hear ya, its just this has been a problem since i had my old wheels too. Which is why i hoped axles fixed it but no.
 


Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

Well with different wheels and axles, that narrows it down to the hubs (the vibration)
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

Might be, one is stock the other is a timkin with like 30k or so on it.
 
Re: RussDinoGuy's 02 GT "Slowkar" (NOW WITH LESS BROKEN THANGS)

I'm a dork, they didnt even charge me too balance them either.
