Colorado2500's 1989 C2500 ECLB Build (The Little Big Truck)

I'm about to do the same. Good luck to you

Likewise man, we'll see how it goes. Having better steering should be worth it, or so I hope.

Well damn, I rounded out one (so far) alignment cam bolt washers when was taking my pass upper control arm off.
Finding one locally might be impossible, so does anyone know if it's possible to just wing back together for now and replace them later?
I kind of doubt it, but otherwise I'm a bit screwed..

Whew, got it all done and back together this last weekend! This was my first time doing this kind of job, and damn, it was a pain and it took forever..

Just a wee bit off huh?

Everything done was totally worth it though, it drives and feels much better!

awesome man! Mine developed a new symptom where it doesn't stop squeaking the entire time I'm driving and it squeaks VERY loud. It's embarrassing. I can't wait to replace everything on mine.

Heh, mine was doing something similar. It would creak and squeak every time I turned the wheel or hit a bump, and I could never find where it was coming from.
Replacing everything seemed to fix it haha

I've drenched everything in wd40 and white lithium grease and it's still there. So that's promising lol

Yeah, good luck, I tried liquid wrench everywhere on mine too, but it was probably inside one of the joints and I could never get it.

Yeah unfortunately I have to wait a month before I can tear it apart. But it's not bad with the radio up and the ac or heat on lol

How did you figure out what size control arm bushings you needed?
