When changing any suspension and especially any steering conponant its a good idea to have your alignment checked, 99% chance your going to need it.


Ive got a caravan parked in the driveway. But shes a latina freak of nature.

 

sway bar end links: A DIY job, takes 15-20 mins per side
Struts: professional shop recommended unless you have the right kind (wall mounted) spring compressor
Ball joints: uppers require replacement of entire control arm. Another DIY job, two bolts and the ball joint, your done. Lowers I believe should be replaceable? I cant remember. Some have trouble with the steering rack. Eimer can attest to the difficulty of replacing that.

 

Here is just a nother thought, wouldnt they have had to tear the entire front end apart when they fixed my front ring and pinion in january? So if so, id guess that they would have checked the rest of the front end for worn parts too? Right or am i just dreaming???

IF they did have to tear the truck apart, id just get the rancho's and put them bad boys on, if they had to look at the other parts at that time.

 

Most professionals would have checked the entire front suspension, they get paid more. Muat have been a rich mechanic.

 

The Rack is very easy to replace. The issues I had was the manufacture did not reassemble it correctly, and the mounts were off.

 

or go eyelet conversion plates and run a real coilover. charge the nitrogen to about 120psi and leave it alone for years to come
