i just installed the ds from tom wood,i followed the directions in the write up on the coast and also used the youtube video,i have no vibrations but i do now have a odd rubbing noise that get louder the faster you go,the ds is not touching anything at all,anyone have any ideas on what could cause this

Kevo

I didn't on the front so i removed it and it still does it, I can't figure it out, it almost sounds like the caliper is stuck squeezing the rotor, is it possible I torques the pinion bolt too much

Kevo

okay i tore it back down and the crush sleeve was shot,i had to replace it

Kevo

thanks youri for taking the time to offer your opinion

What did you use to torque it down with I thought the crush sleeve took a lot of pressure to get it to crush. Did it wear out or did you over torque.

Kevo

I over torque it with a Mac air gun, I didn't mean to I put a torque wrench to it and couldn't budge the nut, this causes the lash to be to tight

Kevo

It wasn't bad, finding one was a pia

did you instal the front or rear ds and how long of an instal was it? i'm thinking this might be my next upgrade as i just tore my front ds boot of last week in moab. i know alot of people say that ride around with a tore boot for years, all you have to do is grease it every now and then and just rinse the dirt off. but, i would feel better knowing that i wouldn't have to keep that in the back of my mind, if i just replaced it with a nice new shiny toms woods ds

Kevo

i did the fron and it was very simple hour job i just tried to get to far with the air gun before i used the torque wrench,so i suggest if you do it on a lift have someone hold the brakes

josh_jacklyn

cool thanks alot for the info. do you plan on doing the rear anytime soon? or are you going to keep the front for now?
