Vibration
Hi All
just wanted to share a problem I had with the Fleetwood since I purchased it back in April. It ended up being an incorrect or faulty torque converter.
Previous owner had tailshaft balanced and new harmonic balancer installed. I took all the belts off to no avail, had the carby checked, full engine tune, checked exhaust. Engine snd trans mounts we also replaced previously. This was doing my head in to the point I wouldn’t drive it, I could barely look at it! Some old school guys at Pro Automatics took a look at it and said “I reckon it’s in the TC”and it was. It had s Blue JA7 which was a Jaguar part number. The guys put a heavy duty one on from a later modelTH 400 and all fixed. The car had shakes through engine (at all RPM) and anything above 35 was shaking the whole car. If it wasn’t for this it would have been an engine out and balance. Now all the other little things are insignificant!
just thought I would share, cheers Shane

Lower Front End Ball Joints
Posted by Logan Robb on May 11, 2023 at 9:04am 7 Comments 0 Likes
Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
