Check the gear lube in the front diff and check the axles for play at both ends. You may also want to try disconnecting the rear drive shaft. Check the trans fluid level as well. Where did you get the axles from? Some users have reported vibs after they replaced the axles with discount part store axles.

If you went full stroke on the MC when bleeding the brakes most likely you will need a new MC. The bore wears over time and all the junk is pushed to the end of the stroke. When you go full stroke, which does not happen normally, the seals get into this stuff. I have 3 or 4 spares, let me know if you need one.

Did you turn the drums? If not, there is a lip you will have to get over the shoes. I put them on with the shoes as far out as possible and still get the drum to slide on. Pull the Ebrake handle up to the first tooth, then you can adjust throught the back slot (rubber plug) until the shoes just start to drag. When you release the Ebrake you will have clearance so you do not have drag on the shoes. This whole thing is not so critical since its just the Ebrake.

She posted on the Criagslist, she lost her job, 2 kids, single mom. Her CEL is on, I had her get the code pulled at Autozone, its the knock sensor on her Forster. Very low on cash but willing to give hair cuts in exchange. If you could put a used sensor on that would be great. PM me and I'll send you her email. Thanks, Larry Here's her address 1219 missouri ave. longmont co 80501

I've done a few of these swaps and they work well. The rear top hats have to be changed over, the front struts bolt right in. In the past, the rear camber was always out some due to the longer strut. On this installation, I slotted the top bolt hole a little under an 1/8". I bolted a spare hub into the strut on the bench and set the hub hole an 1/8 in on the top (towards the Strut). When I got the alignment done it was at -1.8 and I was able to lossen both bolts and pull the top of the wheel out a little to get the correct setting. I think a 1/16 off set would be enough. You can get camber bolts, but they are so little I hate to put them in. If it shifts over time, I'll post back. It seems solid as can be.
