Postby Roman » Sun Sep 19, 2021 6:21 pm

Long over due (major understatement) front end work this weekend.

You could kill a T-Rex with most of these parts!

How bad was it getting the ball joints to pop out?
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

Considering this is the first time the front end gas been serviced and there's around 280k miles on it, everything came apart GREAT!

The ball joints weren't the worst I've taken apart. The u-joints put up the most fight. I just had to try 10 different angles to get my meaning across... :mrgreen:

I did the links a few years back, but the sway bar bushings are definitely shot
