Re: 86 Surf Squeaks and Groans

Ok great thanks again.

SO I've had a peek underneath, and as far as I can tell the noise is coming from somewhere in between the lower control arm, and where the curvey bit attached to the ball joint enters it.

Is there a rubber bush in here that might be pinched or old?

Re: 86 Surf Squeaks and Groans

Thanks for the replies, It makes noise from the back mostly squeaking which I'm pretty happy is just the leafs (older utes I've driven do the same). It was mostly the noise from the front I was worried about, on turn (I've already started to back of lock) and, only sometimes on heavy braking and its ...

Re: Cheap daily driver 4x4 wanted

Yeah nuff said, I wasn't too keen on them anyway. Working to a student budget unfortunately so if it sh*ts itself bigtime I don't have another car or cash to get it running again.

Re: Cheap daily driver 4x4 wanted

SWB Pajeros seem reasonably cheap- is there a reason? My experience with mitsis is they use alot of oil and crack heads at high temps... but that was a while ago that we had one in the family. :lol:

Re: Buying a Suzuki

Ok cool thanks! Would much prefer a SWB, just looking at all options at the moment. Any idea on the soft tops? If they have problems with rust around the seals or anything. I don't particularly want one but they come up from time to time. Most I've seen on Trademe so far are around 170ks. Yet to ...
