A coworker of mine found the shop that installed this antenna in the explorer. It was for the FCC. The disk is a large FM antenna. They would send 3 of these vehicles out and listen to a pirated radio broadcast and then they could pinpoint where they were coming from.

This is an oil bath steer hub on an 07 Volvo day cab city truck. There was evidence of grease but no oil. These got hot enough to change the color of the steel (around 550F) Driver didn’t do his pre trip. There was a ton of rust on the outer edge of the spindle.

The weld in the races is to get them out of the aluminum hubs. It makes them much easier to remove

tbh I’m a little disappointed to learn that Great Stuff can’t be used as NVH insulation :(

Sure it can! Just don’t be sloppy with it. Maybe use some cardboard or something to protect the linkage, and make sure that wires are wrapped in some loom... Not sure about using it around retractable windows, though.

Totally. Cardboard mailing tube or pvc pipe or something as a conduit over them... But it would be a massive pain in the ass if anything failed 15 years down the road. For that reason alone I’d stick with the pink fiberglass batts if I was ever doing this.
