Being from Naugatuck, the odds are that you were "one of us"!

 

Changed over to all rain now. Just light rain

 

Rob I have two that you can have for free . They need to be rebuilt . Bushing and joints. If you want to deal with that hassle lol mike will help you burn the bushings out haha .

 

Cool but I'm just wondering at that point where I'd be into them? Bushings, BJ's and hardware???

 

Yeah I'm not sure what all that stuff cost . I'd be happy to have more junk out of my basement though lol

 

At that point, if you have to buy new bushings, BJs and hardware, it'd be cheaper or damn close to buying the ones you found for $155/ea. I think I was about $250-300 into mine with just bushings and hardware.

 

Cam bolts are different front to rear correct?

 

Correct.

Rob,
Here's an old post I made with my part numbers:
4865504020 BUSH, LWR ARM, NO.2 2 EA
4865404040 BUSH, LWR ARM 2EA
4819860011 CAM, CAMBER ADJUST 2 EA
4819060020 CAM ASSY, CAMBER ADJ 2 EA
90178A0013 NUT, FLANGE 4EA
4840960020 2EA
4845235030 2 EA
90119-A0166 2 EA

That's bushings and hardware, no ball joints.

 

Awesome. Thanks Mike

 

Just started my move back to providence. I'll find out tomorrow if the truck fits in the garage

 

Where in Providence?

Elmhurst neighborhood

 

Near PC and La Salle? I go there to get my hair cut all the time

 

I like that 55 F100...

 

They're still doing this pre-ban mag stuff? I'm swimming in surplus 30-round mags. We stopped using the ones with the green followers, so here they sit.

 

It's MA... Of course they're still enforcing ridiculous and meaningless gun regulations. Didn't you know, pre ban mags are like 1,000,000x safer than new mags.

 

You come all the way down to get your hair cut?

 

It's not that far, maybe like 15 minutes from me. The guy has been cutting my hair for years. It was worse when he was off of Thayer St

 

New 5100's on the back. Hitting the top nut with WD40 once a day for a week before doing the swap paid off. Vice grips around threaded shaft and slow and steady the problem nut came off. All told including beer break and a sandwich it took maybe 2 hours. As long as that bolt lets go you could swap them out in under an hour I am sure. The oem shocks with 180K mi were really not in bad shape. I could collapse them easily but they did bounce back. I was impressed.
