Hello and thank you for the suggestions,
I'm not sure on the motor mounts. I can pull the engine a bit if I grab the oil fill and yank. But the engine doesn't move much, if any, while idling. Do you know how much clearance I should have between the oil pan and crossmember?
Haven't checked out the rear yet but will tommorow.
The car has disabled abs (unplugged the wheel sensors)
Today I just pulled the brake calipers off. Rotors seem fine (I don't really have a way to check for runout) and the pads are wearing evenly with a lot of life on them. Tires spin pretty freely. Also greased the guide pins but they seem to move relatively freely. It's been a while but on Bendix front calipers can you pull the hollow rod, that the bolt goes through, out of the rubber boot for greasing? I didn't want to pull it out and not be able to get it back into the boot.
Marked the harmonic balancer, however, I just timing with a timing light using the mark on the harmonic balancer and it was at 12 btdc.
I do have a mechanical, clutch type fan that has all its blades.
A/c works just fine, already had to use it this year. Do you recommend that I take the belt off of the compressor to disable?
Today I also checked the driveshaft center bearing and bushing and greased the u joints, all seems well there. Rotated tires front to back again for the fun of it.
Also, and I know this is ill advised, I cut the engine off at speed with no change in vibration.
Probably should also mention that the alignment is a touch off with the car pulling very slightly right. But this has always been the case, at least for the last 70K miles.
Leaving for work so I'll let y'all know if anything changed.
