Hello,
Still chasing this vibration in front end. U joints, drive shaft, rear trans mount, and tail shaft bushing all seem good. I was told to check the front bearings and calipers. I pulled it all apart today, first time in five years since I bought the car. Nothing shocking ... calipers and mounting bolts were rusty, dry etc. Mounting bolts need a good cleaning and lubing. I tried to push the pistons back in the caliper and they seemed stiff. I have enclosed photos showing how far I got each side piston back. The bearings look good, no discoloration/pitting/looseness/ although they seemed as though they needed more grease. Tightness of bearing nut seemed good. I have enclosed pictures of the bearings, spindles, calipers. Questions:
1. Should the pistons go back into the calipers further or does this look normal ?
2. Do spindles look okay, wear wise ?
3. Bearings look okay ? Of note ... two different bearing manufacturers for each side of the car. They so seem correct for the car. I know nothing of the history or age of any of these components.
Would it be best just to replace bearings/seals/caliper bolts etc. Thanks
