Well Damn!! (1 Viewer)

Last week was some highs and lows. The 200 got some new shoes then the next day I wrecked it.

Luckily I was only doing about 30. Upper ball joint on the passenger side came apart and the tire flipped over shoving the steering to the drivers side. Luckily the girl coming the other way saw what happened and swerved so we didn’t hit head on. FML. The bull bar evidently works for Hondas also.
Lots of replacement parts about to be ordered. David came down and we did a marathon wrenching session yesterday replacing upper and lower ball joints, CV axle, soft and hard brake lines, and fixed the broken ABS sensor wire. Have to order a new bumper, lower control arm, and headlights.

Sucks but sounds like you dodged a worse outcome. These your UCAs? https://www.ironman4x4.com/recall/

Thats the ones. He had sent an email when he first read about the recall with no response. They will be sending a new set as soon as they get them in. We replaced the ball joints to get it back on the road.
