I second the review on the monoball bushings. Does Meyle make them or did you have them pressed on Meyle arms?

They are Meyle arms and had the syncro design works monoboall's pressed in @ their shop. Failed getting them installed today as I was unable to get the balljoint to budge from the hub at all. After an hour at it I gave up.
Anyone have any tricks of the trade to share?

I will be sure to post a review once I get them in.

Thanks, picked one up this afternoon. That and some deep creep soaking in overnight will hopefully give me better luck tomorrow.

What brand did you use? The one I picked up yesterday is "oem" and does not seem to fit around our balljoint. I couldnt get it to go on any further with hammering...

I got mine online from Sears, but it looks exactly like yours. I also remember having a tough time getting it in there, but it worked in the end.

Drove 350 miles through the Appalachia region of North Carolina to pick up some cheap, new Arnott air springs.

Befor replacing the t-stat the truck was averaging 18.6 mpg. On this trip through various state and local highways, longs hills, and the occasional stop-and-go in-town driving, we managed 25mpg. Well worth the effort and sore knuckles from yesterday.
