for reals...'tis an expensive game, this boosted 4x4 hobby

 

damn son...I buttoned mine back up last night and sprayed it down with some Tri Flo real good and the clunking is gone so hopefully I've bought some time on that one.

 

It's okay, it's not just you. My engine and tune is solid now, but I gotta do my UBJs and definitely get my driveshaft center bearing done again cause thats what the noise I heard the other day is for sure. And I need to move my lower rear shock mounts down about an inch and a half to two inches. But it isn't getting shit for a bit since it is driveable and I dont need it atm

 

Mine were and still are very broken.

 

you took the broken assembly out and put it back in? Must be clunking like a mother....careful or it could ruin the lower eyelet at least from what I've read

 

If it's as bad as the one he just posted then it already ruined it

 

Those bearings are cheap BTW, think I paid less than $20 from Wheelers......and they didn't send me any candy with my order this time, bastards.

 

I'll pour one out tonight in honor of @JKO1998's coilovers

 

I took the lower one out along with the the shock and replaced it with an autozone strut and spring, with a top hat.

 

Those lower heims are actually not heims and in fact spherical bearings

 

the spherical bearings/misalignment spacers that are in the lower mounts of performance coilovers, rather than rubber bushings like what regular shocks come with

 

If it makes you feel better I’ve never wheeled ever.

 

Jokes on them

Most of them came from Buick Park Avenues

 

What a lame but really comfortable car

 

It does and it doesn't....I'd have twice as much savings right now if I hadn't ever gotten into 4x4'ing, but I'd have a lot less awesome memories

 

The most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in was the mattress bench seat in a 1985 Cadillac DeVille.

 

I’d have triple the money if I didn’t join this forum to ask about fitting speakers in the back of an extended cab that fateful day in 2016.

 

Yup, I'd be a lot less happy but probably have a lot more cash haha. I love being able to just pick up and leave at a moments notice to go check out a mountain or whatever or maybe go camping up around the PNW for days with no real plan

 

I'll never forget being maybe 7 years old and riding around a town in rural Missouri with my great grandfather in his huge Buick. We drove past a barn that had "I LOVE HOT CHICKS" spray painted on the side, I asked him what 'hot chicks' was and he told me 'son, hot chicks are beautiful women. Big, beautiful women...'
