New Balls

[makeitfit]

Today I have been mainly fitting new ball joints, top and bottom.
Today I have also been fitting new lower arm rear chassis bushes,ouch
Today I have been mainly realising how crap the front of my truck WAS:lol
The old bushes were shot I knew that but what I didn't realise was that they were originally held in place with some crappy pressed tin. These had completely disintegrated and so the bottom arm was slowly working it's way UP the chassis, making a nice egg shaped hole:doh
Had to make 4 new pressed washer things using my mates scrumy mega million tonne press mmmmmmm:sly Then weld the buggers in:clap
While I was there with bits all over the place I checked the brake calipers too. Sliders my arse:doh welded with rust me thinks Stripped them down and rebuilt with copper grease and new bellows Brakes are quite good now, I'll be rethinking my brake upgrade now
Took the beast for a spin tonight and it's like driving a gokart:thumbs
Brill, so check your balls guys , you dont know what you're missin':naughty
