Well, my friend did both axle bearings for $75 total, the axles showed only normal wear and no pitting in the bearing race area. Anywho, no whinine and whump whump anymore except for my cupped tires (I took a 1200 mile trip with the front WAY misaligned and we put those tires in the rear to even them out, so its a tad noisy, a throbbing thump type noise that phases in around 50 and goes out at 75, but such is a cupped tire and not really an issue as its not THAT bad).

Was so happy I re-filled the washer fluid (which holds EXACTLY 1 gallon, unlike fords wierd *** 3/4 or whatever that forced me to store an almost empty container.

Also rubbed it down with micro-fiber towels and ICE after thoroughly washing her

THX GUYS!

 

um, cool, glad you got it all sorted out!

 

Yep, and DAMN this thing pulls harder than the LT1. After 120 my LT1 wasnt so hot, I took this up to 130 to test out the rear end ect. and let it coast down to 50 (quiet as a mouse except for the tires) and wow, it would have easily passed 130 without hesitation had I kept in it!

 

no ****, the car will hit the speed limiter, around 162 or so if you want....lol.

 

LT1s doesn't have a problem over 130 either lol

 

No we just take a lil longer to get there lol.

 

Yeah...but see what owning one does to your subject/verb agreement?!?! lmao. My LT1 was nice, but on the top end I always got RAPED by LS1's...now I am the one delivering the beatings! Oh, 27+mpg on trips is nice...

 

Now that you've said that, your next race against an LT1 will probably be a forged 355ci LT1 with a procharger and a 150 shot. lol.

 

Ain't it the truth

Glad you got it sorted out and you love your car once more

-J

 

Cool. See, you got all excited about new axles for nothing

 

Yeah, and that ICE stuff WORKS! The maintenance guys at my apt. complex mowed right after I wiped it on/off and the car was covered in dust/grass 20 minutes ago when I left for my chem 121 lab (a shorter term for "something it rather have sex with a blender than attend"). I got her up to 70 on my way over here and when I got out, not a SPOT of dust or grass. I recommend the ICE stuff, its $7 or 8 and works pretty well from wash-to-wash and leaves the car feeling smooth. Oh, apply it AS DIRECTED, dont let it dry on there, WIPE IT OFF! or you will have to go back over it with something damp b/c it streaks like windex kinda.

 

I'm so happy for you! Now I don't need to read five billion threads on how your WS6 sucks. (kidding!)

 

Awesome congratulations, now lets hope it stays this way for a while.

 

Sounds good dude.

Glad you got it worked out.

 

I'm glad ICE works for you, I freakin' hated it. Applying it I was just moving it around, could never get it all off, and the streaks were terrible, even using a regular quick spray cleaner afterwards. Never again!!

 

I'm very glad your happy again........Now no more crazy talk, EX: "RSX"

 

Bah, you musta SLATHERED it on. I sprayed it on the surface, used a microfiber and wiped it around good (it streaked) then after done with the WHOLE car I used the same microfiber to rub it off the car (the slightly damp microfiber did the tricker PERFECTLY). Worked great for me, but yeah, had to play a while to figure out how to avoid the windex streaks, lol.

 

My LT1 pulls pretty hard past 130

 

And my 5.0 just started making hp past 5K rpm.
