Cant wait for it to get nicer outside...

My s10 has a u joint talkin to me but Im trying to put it off until I drop it. I will change them all & the hanger bearing then too. I need to get the measurements for a trans mount & the hanger bearing mount too because I want to make spacers for the drop as well. Just sitting here, waiting for the snow to melt. Ya I know, its gonna be a while...

Re: Cant wait for it to get nicer outside...

Well, its in the garage & on the stands. I crawled under it to figure out which u-joint is bad. WOW! this little truck has 5 u-joints & a hanger bearing. A little overkill for an extended cab short bed mini truck, dont you think? 4 of the 5 have grease zerks & the one that doesnt is toast. Now I need to decide if I want to go ahead & lower it while its up or just fix the knuckle & wait until spring to lower it...

Re: Cant wait for it to get nicer outside...

I installed a tahoe overhead console & reinstalled my windshield mirror this week. I also cut a small digital clock into the overhead & wired everything up. Ive been ignoring the lowering job but I need to get to it soon. A friend traded his truck in & the dealer wants the suspension to be stock so he is going to trade me all his drop parts for my stock parts. Too bad this didnt happen before I bought all my parts. Anyway, heres a pic or two of the overhead...

Re: Cant wait for it to get nicer outside...

I've got my rear brakes starting to squeak ever so slightly, but I just picked up camaro rear discs to swap on whenever the weather breaks

Also hoping to do drop spindles and 2" blocks at the same time.

Come on spring!

Re: Cant wait for it to get nicer outside...

I'll really only be needing drop spindles. I got a good deal on some 2" blocks last week. So if you'll have spindles, I'd like to purchase them

Just let me know!

Re: Cant wait for it to get nicer outside...

I got the back end all lowered tonight. I took out one leaf & added a 3" angled block to each side. No pics. I can jump up & down on the back bumper & it will hit the bump stops. Ill have to trim them a bit. Hoping to tinker on the front some tomorrow night.
