I've replaced top and bottom suspension ball joints, two CV joint boots (after checking, cleaning and repacking the joints with grease), re-connected the sway bar that was flopping around in the breeze (just where the link went or why I never heard or felt it part company beats me), have a sloppy tie rod end on back order and STILL there's slop in this bloody front suspension of my pickup. The darn upper suspension/control arm has worn bearings, so that'll come out tomorrow.
I knew there was a reason I try never to get under my vehicles - it always costs more than first thought - in both time and money. Especially for someone who can't bring himself to pay others to do things that I used to help Dad do back in the day. These sorts of Winter jobs have come too early this year just when good weather hits and I'd rather be around trees.
