^Is that the current color of your calipers TMV? You like them flat I see rather than cleared. Looks good. Still waiting to see pics of your truck with the new front end on... though I'm sure you'll do a shoot after dealing with your cat heating up problem you posted about.

March 14 -19, 2016

- Installed new tension arm bushings (Meyle HD), tension arm ball joints (Lemforder), steering rack boots/bellows, and inner/outer tie rods (Lemforder). This took a long time due to ball joints being extremely frozen in the spindles. Took 3.5 hours to remove one side and 6 hours to remove the other!!! In the end on the tough side... it took a BFH to remove it. Also the nut on the ball joint was stripped so it was stuck holding the tension arm to the spindle. I had to cut the nut and stud off with a dremel in order to remove it.

- Tension arm bushings (31126769715) $70.00

- Front ball joint (31126756491) $83.86

- Tie rod assemblies (32106774336) $119.98

- Steering rack bellows (32106765782) $21.98
