    It's going that way.
    This side had a torn boot, then I found the cv joint was worn out. :facepalm:
    Then, when I turned the hub by hand I could feel grit in the bearing. :frusty:
    And, when I tried to move the lca out of the way I found the bushings were seized.:sawzall:

    The other side has a leaking hub seal, I'm expecting to find the same problems there.

    The left side is coming apart the same as the right did.
    PXL_20211011_214031507.jpg

    Will have to sawzall the LCA out.

    PXL_20211011_214052126.jpg

    And cut the nut off the ball joint.

    @Daves300 I’m hoping I don’t run into this next month when I’m putting my lift on.

    I don't think you will, so long as the previous owner didn't park the truck in the ocean.

    I'm using a Moog camber kit on the reinstall because they have grease fittings, hopefully some lube will prevent this from happening again.

    Spindle cleaned up real nice.

    From the perspective of refilling, I highly recommend these bags. They are the quickest and cleanest ever.

    After painting the frame and underbody, I still have about 1/3 gl of POR 15 left. So, I decided to remove the interior and paint the floor.
