Never had a chance to. I'm pretty sure my upper ball joints are going, the grease won't go in any more. The fittings are ok, I checked them. That's probably where the gritty sound is coming from. It's the squeaking that's driving me nuts. It started right after I lived it.
On the plus side, I eliminated the bad bearing noises, both front wheel bearing are new. Moog on the driver side, Mopar on the passenger side. The passenger side was glued in, very hard to remove. After I got it out I had to scrape all that crap out of the hole.

Must of been real bad then. I just did my front wheel bearings , both were making strange noises from 5-100 MPH , Thanks to bshooter going to SFA and just replacing his :mrgreen:

I was able to replace mine pretty cheap.
Of course while moving .....................I found two new ones I forgot about :banghead:

Hows the house coming along ?

Due to my mom's economical status or the lack of, a mission group of high schoolers painted about 82% of the outside for her, I just have to finish the gables/soffits due to safety issues of kids on ladders up that high.
Upstairs is painted, just need our bedroom carpets cleaned and 1/4 molding around baseboards in daughter's room.
Bathroom is 95% done, just need to finish all the towel holders/shower rod etc and hang the small closet doors, touch up paint.
Spent July 4th weekend re-finishing LR and DR floors. sister took mom to Fla for a week, perfect time to do floors while she was gone.

NICE
You do good work.

Definitely a nice job.

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2014 2:38 pm

Those old floors in those homes are always beautiful when sanded and done right. Last one I did the carpet had been covering them up for over 50 years, solid oak flooring looked so nioce when I finished with them

OK long day at work, plus dealing with the wife and some horse trading
Wife is having some health issues and of course the Doctors there are not the best there is , concerned for sure .
Horsetrading is going well though, should have pictures by Friday evening of what I ended up with in the swap.
Then next phase is to get John over here to remove some parts from mine and then a road trip to Missouri.

Extension bracket for the tri-link seems to be doing its job, I want to fine tune it a bit more to get it where I want it to be though. Tri-link defiantly sits at a much better angle,flat instead of a steep angle putting the front bushings in a bind from the get go. Next will be the right foot test :twisted:

At least when they are nearby you can bring them soup or ice cream or something. I hope you get that whole deal finished and over with soon.

Looks like two seperate pieces ? Curious ...... Hmmmmm

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:20 pm

It is two separate pieces, that way you can adjust the angle depending on how much lift you have I think I have mine close now for the 4 (and some) inches of lift I have
