How the heck did you find that info? I search and searched this forum for info about the torque and never found anything related to it. What keyword did you search for so I can see where I was missing up? I’m now going to do a keyword search in the service manual on “85” just to see where...

I am rebuilding most of the front end on my QC truck. After read and watching video's on how to rebuild the front calipers I decided to give it a try. I had a spare set of calipers that I split in two, and took them sandblaster and powder coater, and they came out great. I will post picture...

That is a picture showing how off the bushing was. You would think that you could move 1/16 inch over, but you can't. After 12 hours you would think you could but those bushings are embedded into the shaft. Let me gather the various pictures I took, and the part numbers I used and I will...

I do really need to post some pics. After spending over 12 hours just trying to install only one Lower Control Arms (LCA), I couldn’t do it. The bushings were off by just a little bit. I got ticked and brought them back to the machine shop and they moved them ever so slightly. When I...

Just so I fully understand, is a “spindle” and a “knuckle” the same part (i.e. the thing that holds the hub/bearing on)? Also where do you find the rest of those sales code as shown in your post? That is pretty handy…

Just to gain some knowledge… I took my knuckles to the sandblaster, then I painted them with aluminum paint. I notice mine have “QC” stamped in the knuckle when they were made. Was there a difference between a “RC” and a “QC”? I thought the knuckles were thesame for both. Or, maybe my thought...

I’m hard at work with the silver truck now. The black truck suddenly does not have any alerts/alarms. I am going to remove the battery cables and short the pos & neg cables together so I know that every alert should be cleared, then reinstall them. I’ll drive it around to see if the...

I put on Moog 515073. After reading this, I am unsure what I have. I think I have 4-wheel ABS. But the word “4-wheel” has me confused now for 4-wheel drive.

It came with the hubs.

I need to check that. Thanks…

The sensor came with the hubs.

So I finished up the front end suspension on my black 2005 QC. I originally had these light on, which I thought was a faulty wheel bearing/hub, since I was getting a loud “clunk”. So during my rebuild I ended up buying new Moog bearing/hubs. The error lights went off for a few miles, but have...

My heinie hole (the one on the rear side of the tire) is now clean! It’s refreshing knowing my heinie is like most people’s now.

Why am I the one that gets filthy, damaged holes?

Believe it or not, Hail damage. I appears to me the tow truck driver didn’t know how to tow the truck because the front end grill & bumper were in the bed of the truck. The other thing is the wheel wells are both damaged. By looking at them you can see tire tread scuffs and both have holes in...

Wifey - all you need to do is crank you wheels one way, then the other way. You can see the cups behind the rear of the front tire. Even though it’s not in the engine compartment, but just imagine where the rear of the engine would be, and look underneath where that imaginary invisible line...

I bought it for scrap. The title is branded. I wanted to have a donor parts truck, and deciding to repair it instead. At some point in time someone truly loved that truck to pay the expense to lowering it. It also has a nice sound system, which I don’t want either and want it back to...

Wow, the other side is just as bad.

Continuing on with the front end rebuild on my 2005 QC. I noticed this rubber & coil spring mount was filled to the brim with gravel & rocks. I got the garden hose out and started to wash the “cup” out but water just went over the sides. Feeling around looking to find where the drain hole...

The bolt threads. Rather than trying to straighten them on my caliper, I was originally thinking I will buy a M16 x 2.0 bolt at Home Depot and use that to try to straighten the threads. But, since it has to deal with brakes (and I really don’t want to kill myself), I’ll take a long trip to...
