    Lol look at all the paint rubbed off the fender and the pinch weld! And they say 285s don't rub :rolleyes: cutting the fenders today, I'll probably leave the firewall alone for now. Doubt I'm going to hit it.

    Sadly, they ripped it right out my hands when I got to the shop and I couldn't get a pic. Then when I drove it home my dad was freaking out cuz we had to get the boat over to Seattle by dark so *sigh* taco was parked.
    They didn't charge me anything and got it within spec. They didn't charge me because the brand new cam washer rounded out :frusty: and they maxed out my tie rod on one end so they had to compensate with the other to get toe right. They got me 4 degrees caster though so that's good. It pulls to the right but I'm hoping that is only my front tire that is badly sloped to the right due to driving it with a garbage allighment and blown joints.

    So yeah... I made a list. I half assed a lot of stuff to get there in time

    Make sure you run a tap through the zerk fitting holes before installing.

    I've found out the hard way before. Pull the spindle and clean them before you do.

    Is there anything I should do before putting a sticker on my paint? My truck is always sealed and waxed... Do I need to clay bar it away?

    Wasted 3 hours bleeding brakes by myself then I said eff it it's not worth my time!! I only got the rear passenger side bubble free and about 1/2 done on the driver side rear. Hopefully I don't die tomorrow on the drive into work. Gonna have a shop bleed them. Should I have them replace my rear shoes while they're at it? Until this point I've done everything myself but I'm kinda burned out on messing around with it haha.

    Also my camber looks all screwed up. But I can't really go complain cuz they didn't charge me cuz they couldn't "complete" it. Guess I need a new cam washer and to shorten one tie rod extension :notsure:

    So yeah... I made a list.

    Throw those moogs away and replace them with OEM cam bolts. The washers on those constantly round out.

    For bleeding the brakes I highly recommend speed bleeders. They replace the original bleeders with another type with a one way valve. So you can bleed all by yourself even all 4 brakes if you choose
