That's good to hear. You still thinking about running it at NOPI? Might want to run it at Benton Friday just to make sure all the bugs are worked out of the system.

oh ok,...so i jack up the front of the car, one wheel at a time, then just move the tire and if it moves at all by hand my bearings are bad?...is that right? yeh bc when i coasted in and turned off the car, i didnt touch the brakes, the clutch, or anything, and the engine wasnt on, that makes sense. peace

Yeah that will give you a general idea, but any good tire shop can tell you as well. Usually they won't charge you for it either but I would check first.

You Rim should have a little play when you wiggle it left and right, but it should have no play when you have your hands at 12 and 6 o'clock and are wiggling from top to bottom. If you feel ANY camber play then you should at least have it looked at.

i wont be running at nopi. i bought injectors instead. also, i dont see the point of going to the second nopi. i was already at the first. i dont feel like spending 65 bux to race when i could spend 35 some other night.

I think he means that he went to the one in Bristol or somewhere else in the country.

 

[RSTwnnabe]

oh yeh i forgot about that one,....dur
dave

 

[siueclipse]

i wont be going becuase i got a great deal on injectors and i can't afford to go because i bought the injectors. i have money to go, but im moving in 2 weeks and what i have left for that.

 

[DSMNightmare]

Dave, did you ever figure out what that noise was?

 

[RSTwnnabe]

well i have never noticed it outside the car, but while it was running earlier today, i heard it faintly, so im guesing it is a belt. it is coming from the drivers side. so...as far as i can tell its a belt, but idk which one yet, im still interrogating , can the timing belt squek? cuase i know i need to replace it soon ..i hope i get to it before something bad happens....DSMnightmare so are you going to NOPI sunday? if you are we should meet up.

Im willing to bet its your alternator and or power steering belts. Get new ones and have them tightened. Check your tensioner while youre at it.

 

[DSMNightmare]

Be careful my water pump started squeaking before it went. You really should do the timing belt and water pump ASAP.
