I’m in New Jersey and could use better skids. But if I’m going to put money into it I’d probably go get nice aftermarket ones.
What were you thinking on price?
long day yesterday
New tie rods, front wheel bearings, upper control arms, front brakes and rotors.
She’s running smooooooth! All bearings on arms were torn and dead. Wheel bearings prematurely failed bc whoever put them in didn’t use nearly enough grease. Tie rods were just ready to go...
Meanwhile looking back at my POs build thread. He did wheel bearings at 222k. It’s at 252k and needs them again. My guess is the tie rods (which have play) and upper control arms (which have crappy bushings) are the culprits. Glad I’m tackling them both.
Any other guesses?
Ok here we go again.... just made a big order:
- front tie rods (inners & outers & boots)
- front wheel bearings (full kit)
- rotors, pads all 4 wheels
- new ebrake kit
- upper control arms, both sides
Wish me luck. If this goes well maybe i'll tackle the exhaust tick & try to score a few more...
About to roll 250k miles. What's up on the maintenance schedule?
Just greased the driveshaft, spark plugs, oil change, tranny fluid, suspension, pads, rotors, tires. bearings were done recently.
