How is everyone?

How is everyone doing? Anyone got anything new going on? Not much here. Replaced the sway bar bushings on the Ranger the other day, was going to do the radius arm bushings also but didn't have the proper tools so that will be round 2 another day. I can tell the new sway bar bushings already helped out alot. EVeryone check in and let us know whats going on.

I'm just hangin out a lot. I went to the rally, and that was a blast, as everyone can see from the forum. Anyway, does anyone have 400 dollars I can have? I'd like to tweak the old pickup too!

Not much going on here. Been working a lot. Down to one vehicle now and its a gas hog. Motor for the bronco II is at the shop and the owner had a death in the family so the shop won't be open again until Aug 18. I am some what car hunting, been checking out explorers just not sure I want car payments again.

New bushings always make the ride nicer, I took the sway bars off my 87 , it don't do to bad unless I have the 4 wheeler in the back then I can realy notice the sway. What tool do you need for the radus arm bushing?

I just didn't have the right socket my tools are limited right now but with each project I seem to get more. I wasn't sure of the size of the socket and thought I had bought the right one but didn't so instead of running back out just did the sway bar.

I understand the growth of tools, seems like everytime I turn around I am buying a new tool to fix something. If I remeber right it should be a 1 1/8 inch socket. and a big cheater bar.

Have you done the radius arm bushings? If so how did you do them? I've seen or heard of a couple different ways just wondering on the best or easiest way.

I dropped the whole front end when I did mine, one side at a time. I also replaced the pivit bushings at the same time.
