hey guys, what would be causing premature whelp hub failure? My front right is out again after I just replaced it probably 4 months ago. I seem to go through hubs a LOT on the trac, like every 2-3 years. trying to narrow down why. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my engine temp gauge. The gauge is normally at the halfway point, but lately it stays low, like no more than a quarter way. There doesn't seem to be a problem with heat, it still blows out nice and hot. What could this be? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, when I'm in 4 wheel drive (high), my steering radius seems to drop about 30%. Like the wheels just won't turn as far as in 2 wheel. Is this normal or not? What should I do to correct it or what needs replaced? I'm driving a 2001 ST. Thanks guys!

Hi guys... Have any of you gotten this Check engine code? P1451 Evap system canister vent solenoid circuit malfunction. From my searches so far it seems to be an electrical issue. I searched and could not find any frayed wires or anything. I did recently change the radio from the stock...

Has anyone replaced their upper control arm bushings? My passenger sides are shot. The arm is actually moving in and out! I'll probably go with the Moog replacements. My question is, is there a sleeve that needs replaced along with the rubber bushing? Will I need a press to install the new ones...

How do you know if your half axles are shot? Besides holes/wear in the boots.

Hi guys, sorry about the title, wasn't really sure how to title this one! I have some weird things going on with my 2001 trac. A couple of months ago, I heard a strange noise developing. It's sort of a whirly noise that seems to be coming from right behind the firewall. Can't really pinpoint...

Hey trac-ers! I need to change out the front and rear differential fluids in my 01 Trac 4x4. Not sure which gear oil I should use. My axle code is 42. I don't know if this is limited slip, conventional, etc. actually, I don't really know anything about axles! Should I use synthetic oil? What...

Has anyone had to grind down the tabs on their new pads to get them to work right? I installed new brake pads on my 01' today and had a bear of a time getting the new pads to fit into the slides/bracket. When I drove later on, the brakes, especially the driver side were HOT. VERY hot! I...

Hey guys. My trac has developed a weird vibration while sitting at stop lights, traffic, etc. basically anytime I'm at idle and in drive. It feels like it's coming from the engine or drive train and rattles the glove compartment like some teenager is next to me with a booming bass system! I...

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my wipers. They don't seem to be holding the blades tight to the glass. I tried new blades and it didn't make any difference. I even tried to bend the arm down a little bit and it helped a bit for awhile but then went back to being crappy. I looked up...

Hey guys, I've been having an issue with my oil pressure gauge. When it's cold outside, it takes a little while for the gauge to indicate pressure. It typically will come on by the time I get down the road a quarter mile or so. Is it the sending unit? Has anyone had issues with it before? Anyone...

Did some work on the Trac the other day and while I was at it I greased my ball joints that I replaced just a year ago (with Moog ball joints, uppers and lowers). The driver side lower ball joint boot has a small hole in it which had some grease oozing out of it. I may have over-greased it and...

2001 ST 4x4 I've been leaking power steering fluid for a couple of weeks now. Finally got under there to check it out a little more thoroughly and found a leak in one of the hoses going to the rack & pinion fluid cooler. I was hoping one my ST bretheren could advice me on how to repair it...

Brrrrrr It's COLD up here in N.E. Ohio! SOOOO cold, that when i start my 01' ST, the oil pressure gauge doesn't move and the "check gauge" light comes on. After i get going down the road a little, the gauge comes up to it's normal position. Has anyone else encountered this problem? It has me a...

Can someone help me diagnose this problem? I have a 2001 ST, 4x4 I've been having a rough ride for awhile now. Mostly while stopping, turning or going over 60mph. I changed my wheel bearings and brakes and still have this issue (they both needed done anyhow). when i jack up the front...

Does anyone know the right torque for the wheel hub center nut ? I replaced both wheel hubs about 2 months ago and one of them went bad already. I'm certain that i over torqued the nut since i drove it on with an impact wrench. The guy at the part store said the torque setting is 221 ft/lbs...

Hello fellow sport trac-ers ! Long time member, first time poster.... I'm looking to upgrade my shocks from what i believe to be the stock shocks (i have an 01' ST). What would be the better shock to buy for my ST ? From what ive seen and read to far i should go with either the Rancho 5000's or...
