Re: What did you do yo your truck today??

Well...
My a-arm bushing came to a screeching halt. Came apart good. Pulled old bushings, upper and lower no prob. Went together better than I thought. I even got saucy and cut half a coil... ooOOOooh!
Got interesting when I was going back together with everything.
For one thing, the old rubber bushings must have been well-worn. Arms with new bushings are a tight fit. Thats a good thing I suppose.
Then I tried putting the coil in. Ha! Whats the old G.I. Joe saying, "Knowing is half the battle!"
Should have picked up a coil spring compressor because i've pulled out about all of the remaining hair I had left.
Well of to the parts house soon as the wife gets home. Might pull an all nighter.
