Already squeaking a few months after the rebuild.
Hypothetical...
1. Put shackle/leaf spring bolt in the lathe. This might be a good time to go to grade 8.
2. Drill a 1mm hole through the head, about 35mm deep into the shaft.
3. Drill a larger but shallow hole in the head, just deep enough to run a tap for a grease fitting. Tap it.
4. Remove the bolt and drill a 1mm hole perpendicular the the shaft, just short of the end of the 35mm "tunnel".
5. Blow out all shavings and screw the grease fitting into the bolt head.
6. Drill a 2-3 mm hole in the side of the bushing, matched to the approximate depth of the side hole in the bolt.
7. Chamfer the hole at the outer surface of the bushing, to aid grease dispersion and reduce the possibility of chafing the rubber bushing.
8. Repeat 5 more times.
Grease the fittings once a year or whenever you hear squeaking.
Very true!!
You can replace the bolts you have with greasable leaf spring bolts or make your own greasable bolt by drilling them and tapping threads for a zerk.
its been 120 degrees up here in British Columbia, we are feeling you for the heat. forest fires are out of control. stay cool
Thanks for sharing this video Sir Austin
I just bought a Lift!!
Earlier than planned as i need to do some repairs on my shop ( i have 3 ).. But the deal came up so i grabbed it...well loaded it !!
Hopefully this month i can get it up...
2 post 12K lift...barely used...and was super priced...cheap actually...
I am excited to finally own my own after using them for years....too old to be crawling under vehicles for another 20+ years!!
It was 121F in Lytton BC a couple days ago. To top it off, the town is now evacuated due to forest fire. It’s been 40C (104F) or close to it in the Edmonton Area for about 4 days straight. Crazy hot
congratulations on your work, beautiful pickups and great attention to detail!
35C up here in Alberta. The heat is crazy! But never hot enough to get some work done on the truck.
Another tip here... SuperPro makes bushings which are knurled on the inside so that when packed with grease, the grease stays there for years longer than standard bushings. ;)
Man it’s still so amazing to know you made this yourself.
I’m not much on the diesel scene but I really get into the tdi swap stuff and I enjoy your content.
Hey guys, those of you that's in this heat, and do not have air conditioning. Get some water bottles and freeze them, if you put salt in them they will stay frozen longer. And put them behind a fan in a pan or dish to catch the condensation as the ice malts this will help to cool the room you are in! This is what we did back before there was air conditioning .
I'm having the same squeaking problem with my front sway bar, I forgot to grease the new bushings during my rebuild, going to shoot some WD 40 on each side of the bushing and see if that helps, I hear ya on the heat, here in CT. we are in the 90's, with the humidity it feels like 101 degrees. I have a Friend who just moved up to Rainier Oregon about 3 yrs ago, bet he wishes he was back in Hampton Bays Long Island lol. Great work as always Austin, looking forward to the rest of the build. Jay
Use a spray grease. WD40 won't last in this use.
congrats on 100k bro!!! keep the great content coming!🙌
Thanks!!
I recommend greasing the bushing sides where they meet the shackles and leaf spring brackets as well.
I did do that!!
Awesome truck mate!
Thanks to you, I'm going to have a crack and build one too!
Keep up the good work!
Fricken hot here in Montana also. Having a hard time getting anything done. Starting at 5:30 am and quiting by noon. 90° + by then.
I90* here in South Texas is a cool front. It’s just about 10 pm right now and were at 86* with 65% humidity. I would love to live in your neck of the woods. I’ve never been to Montana but I hope to visit your beautiful state some day. Stay cool!
Hell yeah I just got my bumper in the mail and I get a update video! Thanks Austin
Sweet man! Let me know how it goes!
Toyota leaf spring squeaks and body mount bushings are a constant battle lol even on my 3rd gen
80 degrees Fahrenheit here in Hawaii. Good video bro
U only messed up by not taking water breaks.😂 lol. Top notch content as always. waiting to see that red truck put to task with some load.. 👊👊
Love from the PNW, The heat over here in the Olympic Peninsula is horrible
The welding hood you got is really nice but and I've got one but you should try the esab Sentinel, however it's not a cheap one but highly recommend and it looks like a space helmet nice for the pros that weld all day long. I'm hoping to get one sometime. Ps you could use a barn fan there a lifesaver in that kind of heat 👍🏻👍🏻
Did you try a bushing in that coolant temp sensor bung? Ya know size it down for the toy sensor
nice job,man
Put a 10K AC ( or bigger ) unit in your shop....it can make your shop cool enough to enjoy working during the hot months.... Is it Insulated???
My main shop is insulated and while not as Hot here ( yet - going up this weekend ) it can get humid and hot in summer...my shop stays cool all the time....i keep doors/windows closed as much as i can and that helps too....it is 28x45- 12 ft walls
Yes its insulated! This hot weather isnt very common here, most years im plenty comfortable!
@@austinniemela
It looked insulated....yeah we are lucky this heatwave hasn't hit hard here...looks like 4 days of near 40C and next week down under 30C..
Stay cool...
this is professional work +++++++++++
Do you have more videos on the red Toyota love that thang just got a 97 tacoma an lovin the flat bed
I always thought the leaf springs would eject when removing the shackles.
With the new radiator hose pipe, is that going to run into the cooling fan thats driven off belt? I think that's why it's curved there.
Take out the vw sensor from the back go to machine shop with a bit of alloy do the shape of the vw sensor with a hole on the center and with tread for the Toyota sensor . Sorry if this is a bit confused for understand 😅
You probably go have to conect a ground wire on the outside of the Toyota sensor for can make the ground instead of the engine
I need the vw sensor for the ecu input!
lol! i just did the same thing on one of those pipes. It's tack welded AND brazed. Sucks.
Yeah i thought that looked brazed!!
It was 111 over here on the west side. Crazy hot!!
Dang thats cooking!!
Nah…whatever it is you didn’t mess up! 😂👍🏻
Also feeling the heat here in Suriname (south America, small country above Brazil). 39C (102.2F).
Where did u mess up tho? Everything went so wel 🤣
where can i find those wheels?
Not getting above 10•c in sunny Melbourne Australia. Good weather for welding!!
You Should really have a light weight welding jacket over those guns That ultra Violet light from welding not good bro!!
VW put temperature sensor +/- 10 °C not reading because they don't want people freak out because of the temperature. I suggest you put another sensor to read oil temperature. It will say you a lot more about motor struggling or not.
Could you possibly install some grease zerks in those bushings?
That’s what I thought he was going to do at first
A zerk on the spring or shackle would only lube the outside of the rubber sleeve. See my comment about solving this by machining the bolt itself.
@@plus790 pretty much a standard shackle in Australia greaseable through the bolt
You should consider grease fittings on all suspension bushes just saying
Yea the heat will be here in Southern African very soon.
Can you build a Ford ranger next? I know you’re a Tacoma guy but built ranger with your style would be insane.
Should sort some grasable shackle pins :)
I definitely thought he pulled a beer can out of the motor at first.
Straight Outta 🇰🇪
👍
That build is so sick, but the wheels.....not for me. To each his own, i guess
👍👍👍👍👍
Greasable shackle pins might be worth a shot, everytime is noisy grease through the grease nipple, and saves time having to remove the leaf packs and all. Link below to show roughly what it is

I know what you're talking about with the heat. I was painting body parts today and it was 94F in the shop.
That sounds terrible!!!
@@austinniemela With coveralls, a respirator, and gloves on, I was sweating like a pig in a trailer on it's way to the slaughterhouse
A quality welding helmet not only helps you see today, it will help you out in your later years.
Speedglas
Throw down some wax on those bushings, it lasts way longer
Couldn't you simply install a metal pipe in one of the small coolant hoses and weld a temp sensor bung into it.... and drink plenty of water..
Sorry and I was bitchin about 85 degrees here in Honolulu.
Mmm like the video
How much you going to charge me to make a winch bumper for a 86 Toyota pickup😂
We don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents
Way to be positive! haha
Make a flange dude
I love you and what you do……..
If you ain't makin' mistakes...you ain't doing anything!! No shame in learning from nice people who care to help you....
Check out Dommsday diesel, channel is all Toyota diesel conversions.
Na,just needed a adjustments you didn't mess up .
Sliding on fuckups easy
Too hot to powder coat.
...and bought a damned Toyota.
