I've been running through all of the mechanical stuff on my 87 M998 and am down to one last annoyance, drivers front tire bounces between 56-59mph and I absolutely cannot find it. Below is what I've done so far (not throwing parts at it but fixing neglect):
Thanks everyone! Pic just because... I'll eventually get to paint, just have to finish the last of the mechanicals!
- Spindle Nut - Bought the 6K "Refresh" kit right after I bought it and replaced the nuts with the double tab version included in the kit. Followed TM procedure for torque, turn, break torque, retorque.
- Shocks - Got a great deal on a set of shocks and replaced because the rears were leaking, so all 4 have new shocks, no change to bounce.
- "New" tires - Fresher set of MT-R tires with run flat installed. Regardless of position, front left still bounces. All have centramatics on them, also, position of the centramatics doesn't change the bounce.
- Ball Joints - Upgraded to the "newer" style MOOG (replaced ones that would no longer take grease). I've only done the front so far, but no change to bounce after install.
- Tie Rod Ends, Idler, Pitman - Again, changed because of neglect, would no longer take grease and seemed to "drift" in the lane. After completing the alignment in the TM, still no change to the bouncing but is much nicer to drive.
Thanks everyone! Pic just because... I'll eventually get to paint, just have to finish the last of the mechanicals!
