Come to Arizona; outside of small towns - the people outright suck. But, its the best damn state in the union next to Texas.

Started taking apart passenger side suspension, fairly easy task, A-arm bushings are shot to all hell. I could wiggle the wheel back an forth easily.

Slowly chipping away at her, got the bottom a-arm off, what a pain in the ass! tried prying it off with no success, finally lost my mind, and started beating on it with a sledge hammer like it owed me money...... came right off..


torched and hammered the upper a-arm bushings off, went to to pull the ball joint out, Must be Original ball joint, because its riveted on. gonna have to grind off the rivets tomorrow.

A little update, got all the old ball joiints and bushings off, unfortunately, no pictures, because my phone died on me.


the bushings were very difficult to press in, I ended up buying a bottle jack press and a ball joint bushing kit and used the pieces from the kit on the press. worked out great.

the lower A-arm was not going back in, so i had to shave off some of the metal on the inner tube to get it to go in.


Installed 4.5" lift spindles on passenger side.

new Wheel bearings and wheel seal. last set of timken said were built in china, these set of National wheel bearings had Spain stamped on the bottom of them.... Better then China in my opinion, was interesting the outter wheel bearing didnt come with a new race.

Finished torquing and installing all parts, I was gonna keep the old tie rods a bit longer, but once all the new parts went on, the Old tie rods were starting to bother me, so I Ordered a new set.

Starting the driver side tonight, should go way smoother then the passenger side.

Passenger side is almost finished, minus the tie rod ends, realized after I installed the spindle that there is a steering stop issue I need to figure out, apparently when these spindles were new they came with a steering stop that goes on the centerlink..... I didnt know that until yesterday.... ill figure something out.
