Thanks guys, it's been a while since I've been in the Chapter. Too long, actually.

What's really fun is when the king pin seizes to the knuckle and rotates in the I-beam. Never actually saw it, but my machinist friend told me about it happening to a big truck. Not pretty and not cheap.

I get a lot of stuff for my Cougar and F250 from Amazon. Motorcraft stuff is cheap there, which is what I used for ball joints in the F250, and all the other front-end parts for my Cougar. Amazon Prime FTW. 2-day free shipping, 1-day $4 on most stuff, can't beat that when you need a special part and it's early enough to order for the next day, even Saturday or now Sunday
