hey i went out the other night and bent the radius arm mount slightly on the rear drivers side where it attaches to the chassis its only slightly folded over a bit on 1 edge.... what im wondering is would it be a matter of jsut trying to bend it back straight with pliers vice grips hammer or something? or is it something that could be serious? probs just a stupid question.

also i noticed i hit the transfer case slightly and there apears to be the slightest leak of oil just damp with oil coming out of a blue thing not even sure what it is any ideas

Just hammer the mount back. Or leave it, and I'll straighten it in a few weeks.

cheers ,
im more worried bout the oil leak now its barely a drip though its on the transfer case and the car only done 5000km, those blue things some kind of presure switch?? maybe its a good excuse to swap it for a wt sierra case

just go out again and bend the other side to match honest its doing no harm, just hammer it back straight, then get some radius arm mount skids to stop it from happening again.

thats just the 4wd indicator switch dude.
unbolt it, check the o-ring and stick it back in.


this is one here, sierras the same as Jimnys. Ive replaced em before.

i went to zupps this morning to find out about the switch omg what dicks
1. they didnt know what it was looking at the car and the pics,
2. they had a spare parts guy look up a exploded view of the transfer case to try and identify the part.
3. they wanted $187.50 to supply the part good work zupps browns plains dont think ill ever be going there again

also just to humor my self i enquired about the price of servicing, wow shock horror they rip you there too there every 15000 ks $320 something than every second 15000 ks will be $500 plus... i sort of tuned out to hear the exact numbers...... i have a 2011 mazda 3 diesel and never been charged over $300 for that and thats from mazda..... cant see how suzuki justifies thaere pricing surely the parts alone for the diesel would far out way that of a suzuki

Deal with the leak for now. I'll pull it out and change the O-ring in when you're here next.

Get a shitfer on that mount and bend it back if your worried

[11acb]

wasnt overly worried i guess, i always try and have a look at what i scratch bend or break when i come back home from wheeling while im washing the car
just thought i would ask, as when i was looking at it, the whole mount seems thin and quit shit really and making sure i couldnt do more harm trying to straighten it..... dont get me wrong thanks to everyone that has answerd my post though! good to know if i actually bend or break something worth being concerned about i can get a quick reply/sollution
