    R30 front brakes

    All 87 R30 are JB8 brakes and use the same front caliper. Original production part number was 14005769 and 70. K

    Towing with an old truck

    The one with the Haulmark?: yah - that was ill advised. I wouldn't do it again. Not so much for the handling aspect, but with the little V6 and manual trans it struggled a bit. K

    Towing with an old truck

    Mine was a daily for 30 years and 200000 miles. Light hauling, trailering, and back and forth to work. It's what they were made for, and that's what we did with them back in the day. K

    1987 Chevy V10 steering wander

    Did you shim the caster up like I suggested? It's something you can do at home, in the driveway, without affecting any other adjustments. 10 degrees is what we used in order to fix customer complaint vehicles that the dealerships couldn't fix. K

    The two critical adjustments there are "Thrust bearing preload" and "Overcenter" rotational torques. K

    Why did GM do this???

    How to fix my Front Axle not alligning

    Just to expand on this: when the cab is not square on the frame the front end will shoot off in that direction, in order to get the hood to fit between the fenders. Sine the bumper attaches to the frame this will manifest itself as a mismatch in the gap between the end of the bumper and...

    I'd leave it and just plan on not getting caught in a storm (I'd pull over until it let up anyway). K
