Max Capacity Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Front wheel bearings. I hope you have a tune from Mike Kinsman of Tuningalliance.com ? If you feel the steering wheel shimmy sometimes when driving on the highway and the pavement changes, but the shimmy goes away at the same speed on different pavement, that's a front wheel bearing. Both mine did the same thing weeks before the bearing began to sing. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

quick4dr Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 already did passenger front about 10k ago, drivers front still good, but I own its replacement already, been waiting for it to go lol. Front got a Subaru unit, rears I did Moog, $78each prime. My tune was completed by Mikey at EFI, I won last years EFI dyno tune from Wicked Big Meet. Prior to that my tune was from Lance Lucas, after CSK had passed away Tuning Alliance is no slouch just havnt had to use him yet.

quick4dr Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Rad was already replaced, fuel pump is upgraded, coilovers all around, perrin pulley already. over 6 years ive been around the block with her, she is cut and pulled with flares, I will not be selling her or trading her, she will be a epic long project of years to come. I have no payment, insurance is less than $100. a month full coverage. Shortblock is most certainly in her future, along with a rebuild for my 5eat, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldsoda Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Driver's seat base or maybe dome light lense this is interesting. I did a quick search on google for seat base, and will search a bit more later - but do you have a line on something I should specifically check out? I'm guessing just visit a local upholstery shop, wasnt sure if that was what you were getting at. the new seat base is actually a good idea IMO.
