Default Chor for the day

Gave my Baby some love today... Replaced sway bar end links, sway bar bushings & steering stabilizer...









Almost done then this happened...





What a huge difference! Steers and runs great! New bilstien shocks and 2" leveling king kit coming next week

Left/right steering was helped by a lot from the stabilizer. Doesn't want to pull out my hand when hitting bumps but the up/down travel was helped much more! No more knocking sounds from the front going over bumps... The sway bar ends were really bad! Super easy fix/maintenance

Todays Chor, shocks...

I think this one is shot



Took a little persuasion





Rears were a bit more difficult for some reason...
