We picked up an 86 samurai. It has a shackle lift and 31" TSLs. There is a front left knuckle leak and a back right axle leak. The left front tire does wobble some at the 20-30mph range. The other issue is when i let off the clutch, there is a loud THUD. When i look under the truck the axle seems to be rotating upward a lot. Then when I roll in reverse it appears there is play in the axle where it enteres the housing.
Im not saying money is not a problem but we bought it knowing we would have to do some work. I dont mind rebuilding the knuckles and replacing bearings. I would just like some advise on what brands and what I should rebuild. This vehicle will be my hunting truck and just see mud... very seldom rocks or anything crazy. Also I may go to a larger 33 tire max at some point in the future... 2 of the TSL's are getting pretty wore down. We would like to refresh everything at once if our budget allows. What is your recommendation? TIA
