King Coilover 2.5 Lift 7 years old

This is what they look like. The bal joint at the bottom has been blown apart for a few years now. It rattles when im hitting little bumps in the pavement. Lots of road salt.

 

King said they could give me new joints for $20 each i think was the price. Ill be doing this as my next repair

 

You need a lot more than just the lower bearings.

Great

Plus new springs, complete rebuild and maybe rod ends if the ball wore through the race on that lower bearing. I bet the upper bearing is wore out also.

 

Looks like youve got your use out of them. Have you ever rebuilt them?

 

Wow those look beat! I would send them in and have em rebuilt or get a whole rebuild kit and do it yourself, you'll thank yourself later. Those springs are looking beat too

 

Just throw some rtv in there it'll be alright.

 

ha yeah never been rebuilt but they dont seem to be leaking and are still functioning well aside from the annoying chatter of small bumps. Im sure a rebuild would make them work better but I got them originally for abut $600 new.

 

they may not leak but the oil inside breaks down over time

 

and then what? im not really doing too much off roading these days and havent noticed the shock absorption level to be a probem. just the chatter. I wonder how much the rebuild would be, also the springs look like the paint is all jacked but metal seems ok..
