Non-BMW project
Though I still have a few minor items to do on the E53, first I am renewing the front end on my 05 Tundra. The ball joints are done, just need to press in the 8 bushings in the upper and lower arms, removing them is the hard part! Renewing the bushings is not an easy project and if it weren't for having a lot of excess time I would have probably just bought a new set of lower and upper arms.
Still need to put new boots on the front drive shafts, another greasy mess I am not looking forward to..... After this phase is complete the next move will be the timing belt and coolant pump. Last are the rear axle bushings and a neat seat bolster. A quick drain and fill of the trans is also on the todo list. She will be good for the next 200k!
