I did take the truck in for some service today, front ends been shaky, found out the ball joints have excessive play in them, especially the left side[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Anyone know of any good aftermarket ball joints? I'd be looking, also need to get the brakes done[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] on top of that, PSD's going into the body shop next week[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] to fix the wife's damages[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Hi PSD, In case you havnt heard. My son and I got laid off (fired) 1 week or so ago. Then a couple days later, we got hired by our former boss's, former partner. The new job is so much better than the old one. This is one of the few companies that actualy does care about their employees. Im too busy to post all day, but the day sure goes by fast.

RD, Im going to be at carnegie this Sunday with the 250 Jetmoto quad if you and the girls are interested. Its #2 of 6 in the country right now. Id like to run the quad 6-8 hours straight.

Most of the aftermarket balljoints are good. I prefer Moog if available. Do yourself a favor while doing the brakes and flush out the Hyd. system with new fluid. This is one of the most over looked item and you can benefit the most from, essp. towing all the time.

Glad to hear that you got hooked up with a new job already[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Just do a great job and make your old boss really regret letting you loose[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I seem to be finding Moog almost everywhere I look. I take it get the ones that can be greased? Is this something that I can tackle in the garage? Or is it best to have a mech do it? Also, is there anything else I should replace while I am at it? I know that can be a bad question to ask[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] And thanks for the tip on the Hyd system[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
