You can hear it die down when coming to a stop. I had the fan clutch replaced last year. Dont think that is it. Are wheel bearing or front axles issues common? This happened 2 weeks after i did the radiator bypass (no contamination).
Not rust, it's lock-tite. If you're doing the front u-joint, turn the tires when it's in the air, that way you can access the other nuts/bolts more easily. Instead of hammer, use another wrench to double the length of the wrench to get more leverage.martyf250 wrote:yea...but hard to do but my bolt were rusted on real bad and had to have two people yank on the wrench for a half hour. then just used a hammer and small/ larger sockets to pound in/out the u joint caps. then bolt it all togehter
