hey guys,
lets start this off with the 2 long Canadian winters ago,
i decided to cheap out and opt for uni-balls instead of the delta joint ! like many you come across a point in time and were you need to confirm with yourself with a " ahh should be fine yea"
now here i am with a noise some say a loud squeak maybe even a creak it had its good days and its bad days , it would even disappear as if it was never there i would finally relax then... it comes back louder
was it embarrassing yes , have people starred at me with disgust every time i pulled into a parking stall eventually after they look around for a clunker to only realize it was my taco. so it got to the point where i pondered and decided to use all my hard earned technician training trough vast years of experience trials and errors ,countless upgrade course to further
my own knowledge ! i did what all great technicians do i took a GUESS !! sprayed my uni-ball ( i do on a regular schedule) but i gave it a thirsty spray AND IT WORKED noise gone yay, worth every bit of training but eventually it came back , well it got to the point with i kept the can of lube in the car ? then it got tot he point where lube did nothing .when did it happen low speed over bumpy terrian and parking maneuvers
so here is some clips and photos for you guys to enjoy !!!
the squeak,and that was quite to the usual
