121. Re:Tightening ball-joint nut (score: 1)
Author: "Lumia, John" <jlumia@ball.com>
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 09:29:06 -0600
I think all I did was press or lightly tap the arm into the ball joint taper. As turning the nut starts to get tight, friction between the tapered shaft and the tapered hole should keep it from turn

I recently measured engine compression in my 6 and found cylinder pressures ranging from 75 to 110 (note that I'm a mile above sea level, so I would expect pressures to be somewhat lower anyway). I h

Walt, how old are the rubber brake hoses at each wheel? I had a similar problem with my 76 TR6 until I replaced these. Apparently the hoses swell over time from the brake fluid and can constrict the

Another thing, when reinstalling the u joints, make sure they have a little axial play. If they are too tight the u joint will wear prematurely. One side of the circlips holding in the cups can be g

Rick, I'm not sure how to solve your squeek problem. I've used silicone spray on rubber bushings but should work equally well on poly. Perhaps you can get the car on a lift at a local garage the kind

Jeff, perhaps you could elaborate on what the symptoms are when it quits. Does it stop abruptly, or gradually lose power and die. Does it start up right away, and if so how does it run? How long do y

Dick, I wonder if this could be a combination of two things. Lack of a drainback valve in the filter, and also the angle of the filter. As we all know, it is difficult to have the filter pointed stra
