Anybody good at replacing inner an outter tie rod ends?

 

My bad, I haven’t logged on in a few days. Lol. Here’s my 6”BDS lift with fox coil overs. Honolulu Speed Shop in sand island did my lift. I’m on 35x12.5’s on 18x9s. I do off-road my truck but nothing major. Mainly just to get to fishing spots.

 

Also, Dave at mod industries will not do a drop bracket lift. I’ve personally asked. Lol. Really cool guy though and runs a great shop too.

 

Mahalo for the info and for saving me a phone call to Mod Industries. Your truck looks solid.

Edit: where did you get the lift kit from?

 

I ordered it through Honolulu speed shop along with my wheels. Just go in and talk to them. Tell them Elias told you about them.

 

Anyone running total chaos uca that can tell when where they buy you grease for the bushings and lube for the uni ball

 

superlube for the bushings should be available at grainger or maguire bearing locally.
triflow for uniball at any bicycle shop.

 

Thank you

 

I get ball lube

 

I don’t need the one that get hair stuck in em

 

i have Camburg, but I use Superlube and Triflow from Amazon. Supposedly just water and wiping the uniballs is all that’s needed and the best long term method. I believe TC recommends no lube also

 

Anyone going to this car show this Saturday ????, I'm going to be there with my Brother to check out the cars !!!

Uni ball don’t use triflow going to eat up your Teflon. Use dry graphite used for locks.

 

Everything that I've ever read says the opposite. Not to use graphite or moly, as it may damage the plastic by penetrating and weakening it. For teflon, its generally recommended that you use a teflon based (PTFE) lubricant.
The uniball has a teflon liner because that is its own self lubrication. Added lubes are just supplemental.

I think the more important issue is the dirt and contamination ruins the teflon liner. So keeping it clean will help it last longer.

 

Thank you that’s just what I was reading also

 

Can anybody recommend a place where I can mount my new rims and tires at a reasonable price? Thanks

 

Are the tires new or used and where do you live.

 

They’re new. I actually went to discount tire in Waipahu. They did an awesome job.

 

Triflow has PTFE and it still ate up the Teflon. But it did make the squeaking noise go away. You guys use whatever you guys use just passing on past experiences with triflow.
