Wow that compressor was worn! A part of me is glad that I don't have Autoride. Just another system to maintain :)

I know - there were leaves and a bunch of dirt in it and the rubber bushings were shot too. It made my air compressor in the garage sound quiet.

Good thing about the auto-ride is the adjustment. Ive towed, hauled kids and gear and it rides great but the compressor and rear shocks are certainly not cheap. Hope I get 100k out of the new stuff.

Got the driver's side upper control arm swapped today. The old control arm's bushings looked pretty worn. One of the D bolts was stuck and took some work to get out. I will order a new one and swap out as it had some pitting from the rust. Hoping this will fix the clunk I have been having. Need to do the passenger's side and get it aligned. The Sub goes down the road nice once again and should be even better when the passenger side is done.

Also cut the webbed plastic piece to open up some space in the front.

A couple pics after I got the Sub washed the other day.

I got the right side strut and upper control arm swapped yesterday. Not a bad job once you know what the process is.

Just ordered some front bumper pieces as its flapping around from too many runs into snowbanks the last few winters.
