Re: Bought another one!
Truck is back together now and drives like a dream! It's so tight and responsive, feels very solid, no more bouncing all over the place when I hit a bump, either!
I'll tell you what, that old suspension was WORN out. I put all of the original shim packs back in, and matched the tie-rod length when I reassembled with the new parts... This is what I wound up with before getting it aligned this morning! Can you say positive camber and crazy toe-in?! The alignment guy had to remove a large majority of the shims that were in place, and adjust the tie-rods way out. ![]() I even got compliments from the alignment guy on rebuilding the front end, he said it looked perfect. Here is the grand total list of parts I installed (little bit of a repeat from up above, but oh well, it might be useful for someone): Idler Arm - MOOG Part # K6247T Pitman Arm - MOOG Part # K6143 Inner Tie Rod - MOOG Part # ES409LT x2 Outter Tie Rod - MOOG Part # ES409RT x2 Tie Rod Sleeves - MOOG Part # ES2004S Lower Balljoints - MOOG Part # K6117T x2 Upper Balljoints - MOOG Part # K6136 x2 Rear Shocks - KYB Part # 344072 GR2 x2 Front Shocks - KYB Part # 344068 GR2 x2 Upper Arm Bushings - MOOG Part # K6138 x2 Lower Arm Bushings - MOOG Part # K6137 x2 Inner Wheel Bearing - TIMKEN Part # SET6 x2 - (C10, NON-heavy half) Outer Wheel Bearing - TIMKEN Part # SET3 x2 Inner Wheal Seal - TIMKEN Part # 8871 x2 - (C10, NON-heavy half) Swaybar Bushings - MOOG Part # K6169 x2 - (For 1-1/16" swaybar) Brake Hose Left - BENDIX Part # 77299 - (For light duty 1" rotors) Brake Hose Right - BENDIX Part # 77300 - (For light duty 1" rotors) Reman.
