I bet you can't wait for all the snow to melt. You have a brand new toy to play with. Nice mods Kevin.

I used to wheel a lot. . .

After the last snow run my front end didn't feel right and I even got the death wobble once on the way home. 😯

I haven't saved enough yet for a front axle (maybe next year) so I decided to replace the ball joints and unit bearings since they were original.

Ordered Moog ball joints and Timken unit bearings and received them on Friday. All made in USA! 😀

Installed everything today in about 6 hours. Drivers side took about 4 hours and the passenger side about 2 hours. Would have been quicker on the drivers side but I ended up having to take the cutting wheel to the lower ball joints after all else failed trying to get the nut off.

Took it for a test drive and everything feels great! Took it down a bumpy road and no death wobble. Hopefully it won't return.
