Well now, both my radius arm bushings (which were replaced two years ago) need to be replaced again! Also, one of the holes where the wheels studs are pressed into the hubs, is worn out, came right out soon as I went to mount on my wheel! Also, looks like the passenger side, where I replaced the spindle seal and bearing, on the inside, where the ujoint and shaft go through, does not sit as far in as the driver side, it looks funky. So in conclusion, F this front end. TTB = Garbage!

I really am tired of pumping money into the truck, the front end is just a total waste.

Why? It runs good and it's fun to drive. Now the wheel stud is pressed into the rotor, right? So run four until it needs new brakes. And I'm pretty sure the passenger side is only held in place by a snap ring. Check the grease in the slip joint on the axle, if it got dry the articulation may have pulled the axle and dislodged the snap ring.
Now the radius arm bushings shouldn't have worn out that quick, how are the frame brackets. They tend to rust out, are you sure it's not these brackets and not the bushings?

Just a little morning funnies.


Can't Beat an Iowa Girl

A guy meets a beautiful girl and decided he wanted to marry her right
away, she said, "But we don't know anything about each other.

He said, "Thats all right, we'll learn about each other as we go along."

So she consented and they were married and went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort. One morning they were laying by the pool when he got off his towel, climbed up to the 10 Meter board and did a two and a half tuck gainer, followed by three rotations in a jackknife position, where he straightened out and cut the water like a knife.

After a few more demonstrations, he came back and laid down on the towel.

She said, "That was incredible!"

He said, I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you
we'd learn about each other as we went along."

So she got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing laps. After about
thirty laps, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel hardly out of breath.

He said, "That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?"

"No." she said, "I was a hooker in Dubuque, Iowa, and I worked both
sides of the river!"

The garage itself is pretty sweet, and the elevator is cool...but...are you kidding me with the cars? He builds all that to "protect" his 2001 jeep wrangler, 2006 Audi a4 avant, 2009 gmc sierra, 2010 chevy cruze, and a 2008 safari'd land rover? That's just pathetic!!
