EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT PLATE?

I have recently noticed a vibrating sound when my cars revs are low. According to a friend its the exhaust manifold heat plate/shield vibrating against the beginning of the exhaust. He told me to bend it away from the exhaust by pushing a long metal bar against it! Thing is, which way do I bend it? ...

Re: HUB NUT?

Thanks Mac & Ride-On. I will email danny in due course to find out whether his nuts (please forgive the pun) are nylock or not? My bearing has been replaced as of this morning; the mechanic is an old boy who has guaranteed his work. Apparently when he set the correct torque he was able to stake the ...

Re: HUB NUT?

The bearing kit is made by front line. That's annoying news about the hub nut; I cant get a stake nut on its own from anywhere. Fortunately I have the stake nut that's still on there and two others, all of which have been staked a few times but Im sure one of them will work. My local Volvo dealer co...
