While I was waiting on parts to come in, I put the passenger side door lock actuator back in. I bought a new one at the store on Saturday morning and that meant I now had 4 of them at home. I put it in and the amount of back & forth travel that it had seemed small and it just didn't seem very powerful.
Sure enough, I had to hold the door lock button for a few seconds for it to muscle up and unlock the door. I put the OE actuator back in and it works a lot better.
What is strange though is that if I use the automatic lock/unlock on the passenger side, it works really well. But if I use the driver side controls it takes a tad longer. It unlocks almost just as fast, but to lock it, I have to hold the button down for a second longer than normal.
Got that done just before it started raining.

I haven't been able to work on it a whole lot lately. But I did get the center link & pitman & idler arms put on last night. I then swapped out the stabilizer bar bushings. But not by myself. Dang, that thing is heavy and to try and line up the bushing bracket holes with the bolt holes was impossible. Called my dad to come over and help. I tried putting one end on a jack to help lift and level it out, but just couldn't get them lined up by myself. After 5 minutes or so they were all torqued down.
Hopefully this weekend I can put the passenger side back together and then start tearing down the drivers side.
