Worked on the rig this weekend
Ball joints! Wasn't that difficult. Installed Moogs, definitely much better than what was in there. Both uppers were shot! Also installed the Rough Country dual steering stabilizer. No more wandering and rides real nice.
The only bugger about doing these was the sliders in the brake caliper bracket were locked in there. Broke out the blue wrench, some deep creep and 3 hours later they were free. The ball joint work was easy to do, but I would suggest to anyone, that each and every time you do a brake job, pull the sliders out of the bracket and put some never seize of bearing grease on them.

Fuuuuun..Fun! I thought my thrashing days were over. I did this work on Saturday. Had to get it done to drive my son and 6 of his friends to a birthday party on Sunday.
Back in college I remember laying on the cold garage floor at 2 in the morning trying to bench press my transmission back in place on my 69 Olds Cutlass S so I could make it to a 8:00 a.m. class. Lying on the cold garage floor Saturday gave me flashbacks.
