Aldofashow Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I warned about those upper bolts and next your gonna find out what I was talking about the sleeve they want you to reuse they supply the lower sleeve I don't know why they can't supply the upper one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scary Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 NO KIDDIN.. the bolts are seized inside those collars. i got 3 of them out.. one is fubard.. the 'hats' on the outsides.. i got four of the big ones saved maybe 2 of the smaller ones saved.. so unless i can find just those.. i may have to go to oreilley's buy a set of cheap stock bushing for 18 bucks a side, pull out the parts i need and discard the rest.. im planning, thus far, on buying MOOG ball joints, unless i get up the energy to wade through Energy Suspensions weird catalog to see if they make them.. one wheel hub is toast.. i could tell when it came off with the corrosion on it.. one is perfectly fine.. i SHOULD buy two.. but in the interest of budget\time i MAY only buy one.. i havent decided. the arms are being taken to a shop today to get eveything pushed out of them so i can clean them up and get them .... well i wont say yet.

Mr.Scary Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 ill throw a final pic up once its all back together.. im not really doing a 'how do'.. since i had to improvise the removal of some of the parts .. corrosion and 160,000+ miles made it a little difficult to do that.
