Big-O Comes Through
Holy Sh#*! Did I say I was going to install the ball joints myself? Mark brought the swing arms back today and I thought OK now I can install the ball joints. They have to go in easier then when they came out, so I tried to install them using my sockets and “big ass C-Clamp”. After about ten attempts with the same result (sockets on the floor, ball joint on the floor, me inventing new explitives), I decided to call Big O Tires in Turlock. Hernando is the front end tech down there and he is really good. He does all of my alignments and really knows his stuff. Anyway the guys at Big-O Tires in Turlock told me to bring the arms and ball joints down and they would press them in. It took them about 20min to do all 4. I payed the $80.00 they charged me and drove home. The upper axle beam is now finished and I will do the lower one tomorrow.
