Like Nails-on-a-Chalkboard... Eeeeekkk... Anyhoooo, this is another rather 'easy' job. Like always... WIS/M-B 'MANDATES' Replacement of Self-Locking Fasteners... So much so?? If Mother-Ship finds out a Warranty Job was done with the OLD fasteners?? They will deny the ENTIRE warranty Claim!!! Sooo, I guess they really are Serious!! As with ALL suspension jobs.. it is prudent to have a 4-wheel alignment done, preferably on a Hunter Laser unit.. Here is what my UCA joints looked like! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5_n1bK0NTI&feature=youtu.be (1.jpg) (2.jpg) (3.jpg) (4.jpg) (5.jpg) (6.jpg) (7.jpg) (8.jpg) (9.jpg) (10.jpg) (11.jpg) (12.jpg) (13.jpg) Attachments ----------------  1.jpg (99KB - 62 downloads) 2.jpg (92KB - 61 downloads) 3.jpg (78KB - 59 downloads) 4.jpg (83KB - 53 downloads) 5.jpg (90KB - 50 downloads) 6.jpg (94KB - 54 downloads) 7.jpg (102KB - 68 downloads) 8.jpg (100KB - 53 downloads) 9.jpg (98KB - 62 downloads) 10.jpg (93KB - 52 downloads) 11.jpg (101KB - 54 downloads) 12.jpg (88KB - 50 downloads) 13.jpg (127KB - 71 downloads) | |
