Thanks!

When I was spinning the rotors, checking for caliper bracket clearance, I heard a slight "ball bearing" noise. I took it for a 2 mile brake and rotor bedding run, and could hear the noise in the car. It was audible over the exhaust. I was so mad, I just parked it, and didn't even look at it for 2 days. I knew what was wrong and ordered new hubs, bolts, and dust caps. I bought the SN95 spindles/hubs used, and could not hear anything until I spun it with the rotor on.
Took it apart a couple days ago, and this is probably the culprit.
(hard to get a good photo, but the black pen marks the spots)



New hubs arrive tomorrow, minor adjustment on the booster push rod, re-bleed the system, adjust rear bias, and the forecast is rain all weekend........hahahahahaha

Oh yeah! I still need a REAL alignment, and the above mentioned adjustments, but I now brake with my toes instead of my foot.

I always thought something felt kinda loose under full throttle. With new rear control arms, panhard bar, and tranny mount, there was one last thing to check. When I got the stock mount out, I easily pulled it apart with my bare hands! These Energy Suspension ones should yield a much better feel.







Much better!!

Age DOES take its toll on things. You should be all set now...
