Hey kitchman I'm in the process of ordering the parts for the bearing job. Does this kit service one bearing or both?

Re: 1983 Tercel Wagon 4WD SR5 | Overlanding Project

Looking great Señor! Thanks NWNO ! It's so fun to wrench on an older car. Just need to setup my CHP VIN check appointment. They're SUPER backed up atm because COVID-19. They told me it will be 2-4 weeks out... Did that test pipe come off to replace the cat? BaileySims I took off the pipe to replace...

Re: HELP! Weird Front End Noise

does it go away in neutral? Does the sound completely disappear in neutral? And when you say neutral, do you mean clutch pedal up and shifter in neutral position, or clutch pedal down and shifter in gear? Is the sound different between those two situations? Worn out bearings typically sound like gr...

HELP! Weird Front End Noise

1983 T4WD Manual Transmission. After finishing some much needed maintenance items on my Tercel I went on a short cruise to celebrate. Once I hopped on the freeway I started to hear a loud repetitive sound from the front of the car. The sound is very similar to a worn out wheel bearing but with more ...

Re: 1983 Tercel Wagon 4WD SR5 | Overlanding Project

*UPDATE* Finally got my '83 Tercel running again after its maiden voyage from Eugene, OR to Los Angeles CA back in October 2019. The plan was to finish the registration process since it holds an out-of-state salvage title (CHP VIN Inspection, SMOG, Brake & Lamp Inspection) but I had an imprompt...

Re: 1983 Tercel Wagon 4WD SR5 | My Worst/Best Decision of my Life?

UPDATE As promised, here's the test fitment. The main issue I came across was at full lock. A 15x7 wheel with a +35mm offset rubs against the sway bar and the wheel wells. This was remedied by slapping on a +25mm spacer. Shortly after gathering the concrete evidence, I talked to Matt over at Fiftee...

Re: 1983 Tercel Wagon 4WD SR5 | My Worst/Best Decision of my Life?

Given that I have ~ 9/16" of wheel spacer on 195/70/14's that fit ~flush to the outside of the front fender, I'd say a 7" wide wheels with 35-40mm offset is just right on stock brakes. I'd be a little worried about a bigger diameter/wider tire rubbing on the inside of the fender tho, when...

Re: 1983 Tercel Wagon 4WD SR5 | My Worst/Best Decision of my Life?

Abletobecain 205/70R15 ATs weighs in at 27 lbs and according to Matt Crooke (President of fifteen52) the wheels... "start in the high teens depending on the specs. They're built to handle the beating of a gravel rally stage, so it's a balance of strength and weight..." so we're looking at...

Re: 1983 Tercel Wagon 4WD SR5 | My Worst/Best Decision of my Life?

It started to rain in SoCal so I started to look at wheels since I can't finish the brake job in my driveway... Last winter at the Hoonigans Toy Drive / Car Show, my wife and I bought $10 worth of raffle tickets. The prize selection was pretty rad to say the least (KW Coilovers, Turbo Kit, fifteen52...
