Re: What did you do to your truck today!
[QUOTE=MikeB;4281314]Removed A-arms, shafts, and ball joints. Massive torque and 1-5/8" socket required to loosen the lower A-arm shaft bushings. Lower ball joints were a piece of cake using my handy-dandy ball joint press. Probably spent more time popping the tie rod ends loose.
Hope to get at least the upper A-arms cleaned-up, painted, and assembled tomorrow. Using Moog parts that were made in the USA back in the late 90s. Sadly, I'm not sure they're still made here. you are lucky, I broke multiple ball joint forks on the passenger side lower, finally gave up and torched everything, good thing I had CPP spindles en route, just slapped my final POR15 coat on the frame and rear axle, and degreased the brakes now a little dry time and back out to paint the whole setup ![]()
