    Wanted to do a 3 ring clevis but I didn't like how much of the strut was left in the clevis so I left it at two. Got rid of the washer completely but now the UCA joint has a loose in it and makes a rattle. I guess I need to place the washer above the nut?

    Went back through instructions. Washer has no business there, thanks.

    I guess it's supposed to be like that. Put it on the ground and got 22 and 21.5 inches in the front. I'm going to take it apart and throw a third clevis on each side. It's not torqued anyway.

    Problem Got my new tie rod end in today after ripping the boot to shreds with a pickle fork. Next problem I think I unseated my shaft because something isn't right.

    Damn joints

    Back end is done. I'm stuck in the front end trying to get my forks back in place. I have straps but I can't seem to come even close to getting it in. I use a strap to get the lower control arm as low as possible but I'm still an inch off. Need to compress the strut assembly somehow I guess is...

    Never mind answered my own question and whacked in the right place.

    OK UCA completely gone. Clevis bolt and lower fork bolt removed. 4 top strut bolts removed. Left tie rod attached. Now where do I start whacking because nothing is moving? Do I whack the forks towards the outside to get the strut assembly to drop?

    Thanks Tom used wedged in long screwdriver to hold brake lines out of the way and was able to get bolt loose with all my extensions. I'll now go back to my tie rod.

    Then it's back to Canadian Tire to get some extensions (on sale anyway). Hardest part is trying to get socket over nut with the brake lines in the way.

    Went to Canadian Tire like Luke suggested, thanks. No puller but I got a fork. Before I start whacking again went to loosen UCA. How do you get at the bolt drivers side closest to the driver? Damn steering column.

    Bought 2 cans of PB Blaster. Will put some more on and let it soak tonight. Ironman springs, JBA arms, top plates, bilsteins. Been collecting parts all winter and finally the snow is melting away. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

    Tried to start my lift today. Can't get any further than trying to remove the tie rod and UBJ. Nuts are off, tried applying pressure from underneath with jack to remove tie rod while wacking with hammer nothing doing. Got discouraged and tried to move onto UBJ after brake rotor removal. Same...

    Driving in snow icy conditions?

    According to wiki the roads are tarred = 4 high full time. But if the roads are(loose) snowed over or iced = 4 High part time.

    speedometer issues

    Be careful. I had the same trouble and one day the transmission wouldn't shift out of first gear. It was a long ride home. Like Tom pointed out my trouble was the corrosion on the axle which grounds the sensor. With the sensor off a little sandpaper on the axle did the trick.
