Default Wohoo!!!

I just am happy and wanted you guys to know, my death wobble is gone! I met up with a guy named Blaine from another forum this morning. He took a good look at it, showed me what was happening and we got to fixing it. 30 minutes later, I had a new track bar bushing and the track bar was reinstalled. (it only took that long because he was showing me everything he was doing and what to look for.) We cleaned up the mounting surface for the wheels because there was some bumpy surface rust, then went out for a test drive. I only had a very small shake at 60mph so i'm going to get the wheels balanced tomorrow morning and that should be the end of it.

Ok, now lets all do the Main Divide run again so I can join!

/end useless thread.

(oh, and he made fun of 4wheelparts for telling me that I would be fine installing the Currie HD steering system on a stock ride height vehicle.)

Now I can stop stressing and finish peicing together my lift. :biggrin: I just want to make sure I have no debt left before I continue. So, i'm thinking a trip to big bear is in order tomorrow.
