This weekend was all about the suspension. Stripped the truck back down to bare frame, dissasembled the entire front end. New Ball joints, bushings, tie rod ends, shocks, drop spindles, and cleaned and painted everything. was going pretty good till this evening. My trusted spring compressor decided to strip all it's threads, and bind up inside a compressed spring (FRUSTRATING). At least the parts house had a loner one I could rent.
Then I went to put my rotors and bearings back on, and discovered that the bearings won't fit over the new spindles. I sent a message to the vendor, hoping to hear back from them tomorrow. Kinda distraught about that... All that work just to have to tear it apart again is gonna piss me off!
Here's some pics
Oh, and I won my hula girl on ebay. gonna give her a new home on the dashboard!
