I recently replaced front and rear suspension on my truck and my aftermarket rear dust shields are still looking solid

That was always my plan!

Hm, must be the old age, photos were under relevant sections in proper order, unfortunately this website decided to stash all at the bottom

MP grease required per FSM (black arrow)

Look at the lines, red arrows, 2 black lines left by double lipped inner knuckle seal, sealing outer spinning axle to the stationary knuckle, without grease I would likely ruin that seal running it dry to the metal, sealed bearing would not splatter much grease there due to being sealed, can you...

High gas prices, big pain for no gain, rather than drive decided to do some Lexi work, suspension refresh with some driveline items. The so called ABS sensor (pulled both) sure took me for a ride and ruined better half of my day. 3 hour school for the driver side and one hour for the passenger...

What is general consensus on greasing front knuckles and inner knuckle seal , the one CV axle rides in? Was thinking 1/8 full (got to leave room for the bearing) of quality marine water resistant grease. Or - should I put the bearing (attach hub) and fill the void? Or would just the slim...

Everything you need is in the photos, punch from HD, 3/4 and 5 lbs hammer. Powerfull impact was no go for me on the rears, bolt heads on the globes are short and soft, rounded off on both rears. Rust is a bitch around here - midwest. Running boards stay on for this method, no drilling, no...

Great, go for it!

Woolwax is definitely easier on the nose

Fluid film advantage is that it flows better In my experience but you have to reapply every season - Woolwax advantage is that it does stick better - touch up every 2-3 seasons. If your orginal coat was Fluid Film i would go with Woolwax for second coat. Oil is best inside the frame -...

In th In The rust belt or where rust is ongoing issue - Woolwax with frequent reapplications would hold better preventing rust over time. If rust is not an issue in your area - clean as good as possible and replace crap factory paint with thin layer of POR15 and be done with it. Concentrate on...

Well, do best you can, I’m a perfectionist too but some rust would stay unless you remove too much of the frame material which is structural. on the 7 year old car this is perfect time to do it, I waited 10 and it was a lot more work, my fault, I neglected it and fixed it during fall 2020 during...

Rust is like war we fight but would never win. Undercovers can be replaced eventually, same with many suspension parts,. It is wheel well welds and frame I would concentrate on most. Lowering rear tailgate and looking down under plastic flap cover is your tel-tel. Hitch is another. Last rear...
