(2) Monroe Part # TS58650 - Sensa Trac Load Adjusting

I think those are sold in pairs so if it says $210 then delete one because Rock Auto charges $105 for the pair as of this morning..for Rancho RS5000 they were sold individually thought.

 

Should I do them? I only want to do them if I HAVE to lol already rackin up a big chunk s change

 

Yea I noticed I was just saying like 2 of them. Thanks for the check though!

 

If you use cheap parts, or even factory parts, thats what will happen sometimes. You need good parts.

 

Do lowers. 315.00(shipping included) from rock auto for uppers, lowers and stab links, all moog greasable. Took about 8 hrs in driveway( took my time and wire brushed and anti-siezed). Need a ball joint press to install lowers, knocked them out w 6 lb hammer in 4-6 shots each. When putting your knuckle back on, dont tighten upper arm and you wont have to wrestle with trying to squeeze uppers and lowers together to mount knuckle. After everything else is together and torqued, set a jack stand under the lug bolts(small piece of wood between to protect threads) and lower truck to bring upper arm to ride height and then tighten and torque upper arm bushings to frame.

 

 

Don't forget strut mounts... I ordered them just because they were cheap and might as well.

 

You know thats right! On these front ends, if you can get to one thing because you have something else apart, and you can afford that other part, change it. Because you're gonna have to do it anyway.(and always sooner than you expected) These front ends are not hard to work on and only need a couple special tools. A ball joint press only to install lower bj, because its easier to knock it out with a 4 lb hammer in 4-6 shots than to try to press it out. (which you can also use to press in or out any bushings you might need to do) And that biga$$ 35 mm socket for the axle nut.

 

Finally ordered my struts! Now i just need to order the tie rod ends, upper control arms, and sway bar links. Hopefully it dosnt take me as long to order those lol

Get your uppers and your lower ball joints, those can all be replaced while you do struts. All that stuff needs to be taken apart to replace struts anyway. Tie rod ends and stabilizer links can be done without having to take anything else apart to get to them.
