My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade

Right out of the box before I even installed them they felt kind of crunchy when you moved them. An o ring seal in an aluminum bore shouldn't feel crunchy so I kind of knew there might be problems. I just need to remove them from the truck and take it all apart. I'll get good quality o rings and rebuild them with lots of care and lube. Let's hope the machining work is not the problem.
