Re: 50 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100

Finally found a reputable shop in this little beach town and they replaced the upper and lower ball joints on both sides. Was a walk in and while you wait deal and seems to have worked out well for a change. I brought in the parts and they did the work. They did the job right, on time and even regreased the bearings. They even tapped a zerk hole the Chinese Slave Workers missed during their once a week, 30 second, won ton and tea break. Will stick with them. Steering wheel now is about 20 degrees off but drives straight with way less wander. I Think the bearing on the bottom of the steering column is shot and might try to replace it without pulling the whole column. Not sure its needs a wheel alignment but we shall see. Just enjoying the ride for right now and all the kind complements!!!
