Problems with 86 5KTQ
I would appreciate any help with the following problems:
1. Water and fogging in one headlight.
2. Rear control arm bushings need replacement and cause clunking. I
replaced tie rod already. Estimate for bushings was very expensive. Any
suggestions on a cheaper fix or if I need to do it at all.
3. Rear brake calipers are problematic. I took off caliper to inspect
pads that are in need of replacement. After re-assembly the pads rub on
the rotor and do not allow it to rotate freely. It also makes lots of
noise. Suggestions until I can replace pads and I may still have same
problem since new pads will be much thicker.
4. I need to replace right front control arm due to a bad ball joint. Any
pointers and level of difficulty.
5. Radio shorts or cuts out periodically and them will come back on. Any
ideas if I should research head unit, speakers, antennae or amp.
6. ABS line in rear is completely severed. Did not look at front but ABS
does not seem to be working when I brake. Cost of fix? Do-it youreself
job possible?
Thanks to all who respond.
