    Rut tracking, wind gust response

    I feel like a goof ball. After dicking around under the disco looking for a problem, many times, I checked the tire pressure. It was at 42psi. I lowered it to 32psi. Problem solved.:banghead:

    Bad paychecks repeatedly!

    Looks like one of my work mates already contacted a lawyer so wwe'll see what happens next... To my understanding, things were never this bad. I see that no one thing caused this to happen. This contracter has nearly three years of work on the books so I think his bid is way too low. The...

    Bad paychecks repeatedly!

    I didn't want to open up to a forum but am really frustrated. My checks at this company are always late. Maybe only a day or two, which is no biggie but a week or two? His excuse is that he can't get paid but never gives a 'heads up' that my check wont cash, just mails off,arrives late, and I...

    Need Help With Ball Joint Removal

The one I used last weekend worked but took a set of hands to maintain some alainment and a long handle on the ratchet for leverage. Hydrolic would have been great,do they make something like...

    ball joints or heims

    Well, I decided on heims. Cost wise I built for a little more than purchasing OEM but should be stronger. The longevity of the OEM was disappointing,the rubber didn't last and it made me worry because I drove many many miles like that. The swivel jiont balls looked fine and had no problems other...

    So no worries with the fridge running down the battery over night? Or ever? Can you leave it in the back of the vehicle semi permanently?

    ball joints or heims

    So help me decide. Replace the steering linkage ball joints with ball joints or heims? Ball joints would be easier. Hiems would last way longer? I have no experience with them but they seem hardier and articulate better. matt

    steering knuckle fix

    It was a real bitch but the average tenaciuos joe can do it. Wish I would have read the last posts earlier , they would have been helpful. Thanks guys. The Big Damn Hammers didn't work nor with some liberal heat and penetrating oil only made me feel better. The AutoZone had a press that was...
