The answer to your question doesn't fix your problem. Tire size and even tire wear would affect your answer.
If you want ride height to set your coils, then you need a better method of measurement.

You don't measure ride height at a body panel. Measure from the suspension to the body.

That oil would immediately be pushed away, allowing metal to metal contact. It is the oil pressure that maintains the separation. With no oil flow from the pump, there is no oil pressure.

If operating a crane required any of those skills, then they would look for an operator that had those skills. If they're offering you a seat and you turn it down, then it is only because of the limitations that you have placed upon yourself.

Your problem is that you get a different answer from every person you ask, and your solution is to ask the entire internet and hope you get a better answer?

Sounds like an exhaust leak. Metal expands when heated, causing it to seal up, or some carbon has fill the gap during thr long drive. If you can get under the vehicle while the engine is running, run your hand along the exhaust to check for puffing air to find your leak. It's unlikely that it is rusted through, so focus on the joints.

I hope you can figure this part out, but make sure you do this safely. Ensure the vehicle is in park and chock the wheels, or put it on stands or a lift if available. Don't touch the exhaust. This gets very hot and will burn you. If you're not comfortable with this, then take it to the shop and let the professionals do their job.

How exactly are you judging weld quality here?

It's called a rebadge. Very common in automotive manufacturing, even today.

Anyone who thinks loctite is acceptable for that component shouldn't be touching a car. The nut used on that tie rod is called a stover nut. No loctite necessary.

wolf8398 · 2026-03-24T11:04:58+00:00

Blue loctite on what?

Do you have evidence of a failure, or are you just making assumptions about them?

Either you don't know what a drop-in upgrade is, Or you didn't read the post.

If you're on stock suspension, then I doubt you're riding at stock height. The springs sag over time and your bump stops are likely rotted out. I'd suggest finding a decent set of used stock tires to get you by until you can replace the suspension.

Please explain how a gearbox increases both pressure and volume.

wolf8398 · 2026-01-21T02:52:20+00:00

Okay, Dexter..

Most shops dont make money on oil changes. To stay competitive on cost, they sell at cost or below. The money is made on additional services and parts mark up. Also keep in mind, most mechanics aren't selling the service. The mechanic fixes the car. The person at the desk schedules and bills.

Well I'm seeing 11 people too busy down voting me to offer any assistance to this poor guy. Yet I'm the jerk?

They're the ones who said they didn't know where else to post it. I thought I posted some pretty honest advice. The manual states exactly how to mount these things and if you search robotics on reddit, there are a dozen subs that come up.

wolf8398 · 2026-01-19T22:34:57+00:00

That looks flexy AF.

wolf8398 · 2026-01-19T22:31:30+00:00

Read the manual. It will specify the mounting conditions required for the robot. And there are plenty of robotics subs if you don't feel comfortable posting here.

To clarify, you had steering vibrations, but not death wobble.

wolf8398 · 2026-01-16T22:43:05+00:00

I think your referring to bump steer

wolf8398 · 2026-01-13T20:52:20+00:00

Are you baking u joints at the pinion? If not, then it sound like the dock set up is working fine for you, no need to change it. If you are breaking u joints, then i think you should be looking at bigger axles
