Post subject:  Lesson learned
Learned a good lesson today,don't buy parts that have rubber parts that have to contain high pressures and then store them for 2 years before using them.

I blew out a caliper seal on my left front caliper today going to work,sorry no pics but at least they are free since I dished out the extra $$$ for the lifetime warranty ones.Was rather fun trying to stop my pig with no brakes :shock: .


Also decided to add a bit more toe on my alignment to,tracks a bit better now,still got to get around to playing with the right radius arm to get the caster more even but that will just have to wait(it's to cold to mess with it).Also not bad Camber for a 35 year old axle.Used the specs for a '75 F100 so don't mind the red.

Plus now that it sits so high you can't put your foot out the door and slow yourself down either!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
So the specs for the 75 F-100 come pretty close you think?

Well I initially used a '02 WJ since they used crossover steering also but the WJ's toe is speced at about 1/16"(0.07 degrees),as you can see the '75 F100 is speced to about 1/8" toe(0.14 degrees).Though the F100 uses a different steering setup I just set the front to to it's spec since my front axle originally came out of a '75 F100/F150 anyway.

Thats what I remembered that you was using the 02 WJ specs so was wondering why you changed or is more experimentation :wink: to see what works best.
