NO fun , too WINDY
So Ive got to replace the upper and lower ball joint on both sides , While im at it im replacing the end link and shocks . After that's done this week Im got to replace some O-rings on the engine to stop some oil leakage . Now only if it would warm up to do this. Went out today to look at doing this but its too windy out . and cold ....

Okay so i got the new end links in the new shocks on and the upper and lower ***** joints done and when i was at it the front brakes with new calipers . So i still have a clunking in the front end drivers side . Im now thinking the bushings in the leaf spring may be the cause of this . From the area its coming from I say its the rear drivers side bushing or shackle . I think its the bushing in the top of the shackle . Is there a replacement for this for this or does it come with the shackle?/
thanks

If you feel a clunk through the floor board it is almost always the swaybar bushing but I am not sure what the symptoms are of a bad spring bushing. Post back if you figure this out or if you need more help

got my baby back from the body shop , the guy did a great job for the money . think this summer im going to have him the whole truck repainted ..He even used the door and fixed it you can never tell it was crumpled in. this shop did a fantastic job and saved me money by fixing instead of replacing . Hard to find a shop that fixes theses days ..
