Re: My Nightmarish Project

Well I took the truck out for a quick spin even if its not in registered yet I need to see what might be wrong with her.

I drove her o id say 5-7 miles to my local mechanic and ask him when he might be able to take a look at the truck and repair whats wrong. He took a quick look of it real quick and side i need cantrol arm bushings upper and tie rod ends .

Problem is iv never done frontend stuff so I learned how easy a front upper balljoint is (a cantrol arm bushing) is to fix, but how difficult is a tie rod end to replace.

Any help on both parts would be great.

Also my oil psi is near 0 when in my old truck the engine would put out 30 so whats wrong there cause i know shes pumping oil.
