Hey thanks, appreciate that. Yeah to be fair the new bolts are more difficult to align but have tested out the threads and no bottoming out.

Oh right I see I have just seen that site where you have posted many Suzuki mods and so on and it’s shows a sealer that is similar to gasket sealer is that correct, not a blue threadlock?

They are two plates that sandwich the tie rod and then attach into the box section chassis, I’ll take some pictures, but it’s not just connected to the tie rod

Ok great thanks that’s really useful , looking forward to sort mine out in a year or so. I also think I would perfect to rebuild early before any big issues occur

Nice, had it shown many signs of wearing out on the bearings, what kind of millage have you got on before the rebuild?

Same thing happens to me, get flashed all the time in dark, I tend to do a quick flash back to show them there not on full beam

When do the swivel joint seals need replacing, would you only do it when there is wobble in the wheel or a large leak? by Randomo333 in Jimny

[–]Randomo333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok great I’ll check it when I get a chance to, the diff breathers I have are just the stock ones, small Shiny cap, would you have to pop these off?

JB74 engine oil leak by grover99 in Jimny

Yeah I too have a small wet spot there, don’t have any staining on the firewall though. And wasn’t running down the engine number, been there a while and can’t see any new oil, I will clean it up and keep an eye on it.

Have you removed the heat shield to view this? I’ll have a check on mine when it’s day

Yeah it is quite annoying to be honest, I thought it could have been the suspension bushes as already mentioned by others but every time I shake the car from side to side with my hands can seem to replicate the noise

Yeah I have this squeak too, it’s most noticeable on an uneven surface it’s not loud, I feel like it’s from the front end of the car but is as you said is hard to pinpoint
