It's pretty cool...you boys along with a couple of channels have become a part of my Sunday morning routine chilling with a cuppa and my dog soaking up the sun....when you guys don't upload it kinda makes me feel out of place kinda like an addiction I guess....

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks mate!!

[@rsnalt1746]

Go ahead and shout out the other channels, I love these blokes and I'm keen on anyone like them

[@Timberstuff]

I have a series 2 Land Rover Discovery, told that the biggest tyre I could fit to the 16" stock alloy wheels without scraping would be a 225/70/16. Since that was shared with me I've fitted Old man emu springs, shocks and steering dampener. Replaced the ty rods etc as per your vlog I then went to another tyre shop and 265/75/16Lt were fitted with still no rubbing or problems its been great 15000kms it's like driving when it was new again. Great information you're sharing, oh the luxury of a hoist I can only dream

[@bobvedder2451]

I have had a drive line U-joint break while going down the freeway. Before i could stop the CJ7 jeep, the drive beat holes in the floor board because it couldn't fall to the road due to the skid plate. I took off the broken driveshaft threw it into the back of the jeep and took off the front driveshaft and mounted it in the rear position and had a good two wheel drive jeep to get to my destination.

[@alistairblackley1636]

G'day Dan, you mentioned that torsion bar suspension is the best suspension. I have a 2010 bt50 with torsion bar suspension on the front. Why is this an advantage?

[@garychandler4296]

AT205 - magic for rubber. Seals, bushings, CV boots, anything rubber!

[@frmtrkr]

another good session on Aussie arvo. I have to agree that a lot of vibrations that most think is steering, comes from a bad or dry U-joint. being old truck driver ,u joints are the first thing I check for .a little grease does wonders.

[@radaraacf]

Don’t forget ball joints, my one attached to the pitman arm clunked allot it gave me 1/4 steering wheel turn to get response scares tuff

[@lostinception9511]

Perfect timing for this episode as I really need to look over the front of my patrol and sort it’s death wobble before it gets to a dangerous level.

[@Grimspocyrob]

Good information I’m experiencing a wobble and started with wheel balancing to hubs,king pins,casters and I still have a wobble replaced just about everything in front end of a hzj 79r series ute i will now look at the tail shaft pretty hard to get a 4+4 experience mechanic these days thanks for the info

[@gqwarrior6694]

Another top video boys 🍻 Those Super-Pro & any other poly/nolathane bushes will be stuffed within a year if you start getting it offroad though. Without fail they will tear from repeated flexing. Rubber is the only thing that will last.

[@rich9903]

Some fantastic advice from a man in the know there at 'Treadworx'. I particularly found the info about inspecting 'older' tyres very helpful and possibly being stuck with a blown tyre on the Hume Hwy a wake up call for myself. For one reason or another, I end up doing very little km's in my Prado (and also my box trailer for that matter) so keeping an eye on the tyre serviceability should hopefully reduce the chances of having inadvertant tyre issues at the worst possible time 👍

[@gwot]

I chuckled at 33" being a "too big" size that requires cutting, because new generation trucks now come with 33" factory and most will fit 35" no problem with a select few fitting 37 with no rubbing.

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

Still running tbt, nothing's been replaced or adjusted since leaving the factory aside from lubrication. The problem I constantly run into with every vehicle is wheel balance after paying through the nose for tire replacement.

[@InGratitudeIam]

US Toyota TRD Pro 17" wheels have a +4 offset. I run 255/80 R17 tires on my 5thGen 4Runner, installed ARK mudflaps and have NO rubbing at all. YMMV.

[@jacksonwelch9870]

It’s amazing how many people don’t know about the tyre age stamp The amount of times I’ve gone to a customers car and seen they have 10+ year old tyres is unbelievable

[@markthomas8766]

Hi guys. About 2years ago I did a whole lot of research (on KZbin) about changing my tyres from 31s to 33s on my 80 series. One of the most interesting things I learnt from this was about tyre "DOT" codes. Nathan briefly touched upon the age (date) just at the end of your video. I suggest that you do a more detailed video about DOT codes so us regular mugs actually know what we are buying. Old stock tyres (2 to 4 years old) are often sold off at a small discount. The ordinary mugs don't understand that they have just bought old tyres. The ordinary mug thinks they are getting a good deal and then wonder why their tyres don't have traction and wear out in low kilometres (because the rubber is old and brittle). The ordinary mug then thinks that the brand of tyre they bought are rubbish and then looks to change brands when the real problem is how old their tyres were at purchase! Cheers

[@longy6612]

Nathan is the only bloke around Lilydale that knows how to properly adjust upper arms on ifs utes 😅 so many other shops in the area are clueless.

[@bentheguru4986]

Sway-bar links, they look nice but money is on them wearing loose. Top rubbers not compressed enough, need a little more. Very small bars, like, TINY. Swap tailshaft around, keep the slip-joint near transfer rather than diff, a little cleaner. Little less mass at the diff pinion.

[@stevezodiac575]

Hey thank you for posting this video: Nathan really impressed with this very informative overview of good maintenance practice and inspection of suspension and tyres.

[@benjamintresham9649]

Steering box adjustment should have been mentioned and how it inspected the sector shaft and pitman arm splines for twisting signs. I have seen several Toyota 70 series with twisting sectors. With the IFS please show how to inspect the Load carrying ball joints and baring the wheels when inspecting.

[@chrisspies8123]

Great vid guys. There is lots of good info there to digest. And from a guy who sounds like he knows he stuff too. But can also put it into laymens terms. Keep up the good work on the channel.

[@MattBrownbill]

It pained me to have to replace 5 year old tyres, that had only done 10k miles, but they were cracked. Deffo keep an eye on that!

[@fanaticforager6610]

Cheers 🍻 Nathan for confirming my ‘bearing’ adjustment 🟰👍➕🔔

[@jasonwooler801]

nice one. I'd love to see an additional masterclass on something with full independent suspension setups like the Pajero or even the new Patrols.

[@kevinoneill41]

So new breakes, rotors, and calipers wheel bearings check out OK suspention seems fair and when the breakes are applied firmly at a highway speed but not as a panic or emergence. The vehicle behaves almost as the dredded death wobble. What could the cause be?

[@regularmerc4753]

Kingpin shims/bearings

[@renarderickson]

What antenna is on that? What radios do you guys run down under?

[@heathwalker7981]

What spray would you use on the control arm pins so you don’t stuff the rubber up

[@WS1_AUTOS_N_STUFF]

I remember when i used to wonder if 33’s fit…. Kinda 😉😄 now im wondering if 44’s will fit 🤘😎🤘

[@darrengray2309]

Is it not illegal to put 33's on ifs vehicles with Stability Control?

[@4WD_Australia]

cheers for the knowledge, my father owns a 2000 79 Series Landcruiser, has the death wobbles down bad, might go and see if it is the real issue

[@darcykeddell4930]

so true on the hilux lower control arms, have had to cut them off with a grinder at work

[@gwot]

I feel like Hiluxes are only sold in places where people maintain their cars or doesn't snow/salt the roads. Cuz cutting, grinding, and torching are common on just about every car in Canada.

[@FireBosspilot]

So why has knowone come out with a heavy duty rack and pinion for a straight axle 4x4? It would virtually eliminate all weak points in the ancient set-up for straight axle front-ends.

[@robertgeddes511]

Notice Nath call it a tie rod not a relay rode like mentioned in a previous Aussie Arvo episode

[@robisbestest]

Torsion bars the best suspension you can get? Dan I need more on this please.

[@marcuskenny3630]

Second this! Would love a bit more detail about how it works and the benefits

[@HardstylePete]

Define best. There's always trade off's between different use cases.

[@Oz4me_craig]

Being a Navara owner myself, like Dan, he was making a 'Tongue in Cheek' comment about Torsion Bars being the best suspension.. it was mean't to be humour or mild sarcasim for the people who know the obvious truth .. functional but poor articulation.

[@robisbestest]

@@Oz4me_craig I was wondering cause I have a 100 series also torsion bars…

[@craigjensen4179]

Informative video as usual guys

[@rnunezc.4575]

Have a 4x4 suv hyunday terracan a few months ago started to swing or wiggle a mechanic aligning adjusted stabilizer bar but still wiggles less but does when before it was very stable car. Anybody knows why this happens..? Have spirals in rear and shocks as in front. Thanks so much for info anybody.

[@Jacobd143]

Can you please do a video on torsion bar ifs?

[@samdesantis6803]

Question for Nathan: Are adjustable UCAs worth it (compared to castor corrected) or does the extra adjustment introduce to much extra complexity

[@nathanhawkless6078]

Personally I prefer the solid uca's for 2-3inch lifted cars Stronger less moving parts but each has its place

[@Anomic-mo9ji]

If you can get it aligned properly after a lift then you all set. If they lack adjustment to get a good alignment then you need new UCA

[@jaredpursey3791]

Insane to meet you guys today!!! Time to settle in and watch the gold👌

[@AussieArvos]

Great meeting you too Jared!!

[@paulthompson1654]

swivel hub / King pin bearing There should be RULES that always always applies to every overhaul . 1/ some brands schedule service swivel hubs ,, does yours ??? Generally done PROPERLY every 100,000 km . .. 2/ HOW DO U MAKE SWIVEL HUBS LAST *Axle height centred, good axle alignment extends seal life and cv bushing or bearing 3 / * swivel hub bearing drag ,,, done correctly achieves maximum life oh yea no steering wheel wobble ... WHAT DRAG TO SET THEM --suggest u have a read or just have them professionally done . Good info in the video but just enough to get a novice into trouble .

[@stevegoodwin5841]

So many cons vs pros going 33s on modern IFS Utes. So not worth it.

Thai Utes are too small for 33’s as they look out of proportion. 32 is ok for small Thai Utes
