Holy shit I just looked at it!

it looks like the lower bj popped off... did you use threadlock?!

why don't I get any sleep?

 

in case anyone missed it,



lower ball joint unbolted from spindle, got it back on but brake line had to much stress, and now theirs air in lines, and i have no brakes, again.

 

Ehh who needs brakes?

 

or their wheel to stay on?

 

Damn dude. A sad sight. I hope its not gonna run you too much in parts, or leads to residual issues. Gotta bust out the red locktite next time

 

yeah, loctite, i torqed em beyond spec but they still came loose. so far only fatalities are my breaks (lines) and cv axle tore out and ripped boot. life time warranty so hopefully they dont ask to many questions. Hey seth any pointers on that one?

 

Go to the dysart autozone they return everything and I would just say you were detailing your truck and noticed the torn boot. Try calling ahead also and see what they say. Are your brake lines under warranty also?

 

no they came with the truck. I'm getting steelies to replace em though for a good deal so no worries.

 

mini mod day, today. my house. task, replace cv half shaft, locktie lower ball joint mounting, and bleed brakes. i will be renting a pump. f this truck. anyone wanna trade? Jason?

 

Yea just say you noticed the boot was ripped and see what they say, it shouldn't be an issue. Good call on the braided lines

 

well, i gotta get creative, cause i had to pop half of the boot off to get the cv half shaft part back on, sooo, maybe ill try and reassemble before i take it back.


do they rent brake pumps?

 

UFEST today bishes!

 

Either reassemble it or call ahead and let them know you had issues when taking it off so it'll be disassembled. I think they rent the pump but it's been awhile since I've worked there so the loaner tools may have changed

 

How could you not have used loctite???!!!!
That coulda happened on the freeway.. I'm pretty sure installation instruction mandates it?
anyway, im glad it didn't cause an accident and I'm going to put MORE loctite on mine, maybe even go buy the higher stuff than the blue an redo it...

then I'm going to blame brian because its obviously his fault!

whats that?!

and more like ASU bitches!
37-30 in OT!!

 

no instructions, old bolts didnt have any so yeah. And i dont even own any loctite, dont generally ever use it.

 

I used red on all of my bolts on my suspension. Its a good idea to use the high strength on any parts like that. Blue is not intended for high load and vibes

 

So guess who FINALLY got the check from the insurance company???? Now I guess I should go take it to the dealership to make sure the quote is accurate...let the bullshit begin....

 

Hey Eric, when will you be able to pick up the ring and pinion? I'll get with Jesse at Gilbert automotive on monday to make sure he's got em ready for whenever you can come through during the week.

 

Wooohoooo mendy! My sketchy auto guy just left the state today

 

i texted you!
