gday Everyone

[Axiom]

New to the forum! New to owning a patrol as well!

I just purchased a very clean GQ RXII. Clean when it comes to the body anyway.

I spent all of sunday removing the rocker cover & replacing a leaking gaskett.... lots of oil was coming out while I was in fuel mode, noticed a shizz load of oil coming from the back of the rocker cover down to the road.... Checked the oil after the gasket was replaced and found that the car was 2 litres over the max fill for oil!!!!!! WTF!? so needless to say we drained all of that sludge out and refilling it all this afternoon.

Gotta change a seal around the big ball looking thing where the steering rod connects to the wheel assembly cause that has a small leak.

I want to do a lot of upgrades, needs lift, gotta fix the spotties and stereo.

I'll take some pics and upload, i'm pretty excited about my new ride.

p.s i'm from East side of Melbourne

Gday mate welcome aboard

Cheers.

You don't know what part I'm looking for do you?

Regarding the seal around the big ball looking thing?

I need to know what to ask for when i go to the shop!

What you looking at is the swivel hub. The "wiper" isn't your problem, your problem is the axle seal, that's what needs replacing. Ill look for a link here with a good pictorial on how to pull apart
