rattle from front

[TonyN]

Noise has gone ! Looks like the inner needed changing only because the outer is only used for thrust. I'm sure Tony N would have something to say!!! I changed both, the outer being overpriced i think ........

huh? :yawn: wasn't paying attention.......

Yeah, your right about the end one, did you measure the end float, the outer one normally wears as well. Would hate to do have to do the job twice, better to replace them both while your in there.

Excellent, the forums tech rep has spoke!!! Yeah i did replace both as a matter of caution cos i'm like that. So, now with no rattle iv'e got to sort out this rear spring dilema......

You should post some more pic's of your creations, they sound cool...still thinking on the fuel cat thing...

Still nice and quiet from the front end!!!!

you've gone and said it now! just wait for it to be noisy next time you drive it

sounds like me telling Rick "its going well" when he fixed my water pump.

touch wood n all that

Finally got the bushes from Toyota. Part numbers T90381-30003 for the larger @ £22.02 each and T90381-30006 for the smaller @ £10.14 each (plus VAT of course !!).

They appear to be plain brass although the machining is quite complex with spiral oilways in the bore and also across the flange so would be quite tricky to make without a CNC setup.

Did you do the job yourself? I haven't found a description of how to do this on the site. Will the drive shaft drop out and give access to both bushes with the axle etc still on the vehicle?

its not a theroy its a fact when i had the rattle i replaced cv joint two sets of bearings NEW driveshaft ,still a rattle( sussed the bushes when i changed driveshaft) phoned milners orderd them and after 12 months of head scratching and a few quid no rattle

Have both sides been done, or is it just the off side?

I had both sides done at once.. still good

[Damian]

Right, I'm gonna order them tomorrow, is it one big & one small per side then?

Jeeze, £75.58 for a bit of piece and quiet when driving with the window down!!

I'm gonna jump in here and say I have the exact same problem - sounds just like hitting a manhole cover when going over bumps on the road, seems to be coming from the nearside only and is only heard when window is open.

I guess its these bronze bushes that are needed.

Where would i find detailed instructions on fitting them - i am not a mechanic and have never dismantled a wheel before, but i'm keen to learn!

Also i'm a bit puzzled as some of you seem to replace both inner/outer bushes and some say its just the inners that matter - whats necessary, and what is the likely outcome if i don't do anything to the car?

front end ratle

Left a post the other day similar problem I found the rattle comin from the front driveshafts which are rattlin at the inner end where they go into the front diff, try that if so let me know as I am lookin for a solution ,
asta luego!

Interestingly, I also had new discs and pads fitted a while ago. Is there some special knack to re-assembling the hub?
