I’m back with an Esky this time

[gooffeyguy]

I used an air hammer with the chisel tip to push those rings inward when I replaced the ball joints on my 2011 back in March

I decided not to go thru the BS of cleaning up the spindles. I have to get this thing back together and with having to work 2mrw I’m gonna be pressed for time and I’m gonna be replacing them soon anyway when I drop this thing. I’ve been up since 5pm yesterday so I’m trying to get as much done while I’m still standing so it’s less to do after work.

I carefully put the passenger side back together. This paint takes forever to dry so I definitely have to get drivers side cleaned and painted tonight.



I antiseized the crap out of them cam bolts for the a-arm bushings. Now to eat something and get drivers side done for the night.





I’ll give final update for the day when I’m showered and in bed.

Still have to install tie rod enforcement sleeves and put them on too. Running on fumes.

I feel like I’ve done so many complete front ends in the past year, it’s not even a pain anymore. It’s just one step at a time and before you know it, done.
So yeah, bring it over. Don’t forget the case of Corona and bottle of fireball. [emoji12]

[14rcsbOH]

I finally made it to bed at 11 and passed out. Got my 5 hr nap and back at work. Living the dream. [emoji849]

Drivers side was a pain to clean. The caliper was a lot worse than the passenger side and it had more of the factory undercoating still intact than the other side. Finally got it. After it was dry I brushed on the paint.

From this



To this



I didn’t even tape anything. By that time I didn’t care about much.

When I get home I’ll get everything back together and clean up garage so I can get my buddy’s Jeep in and finish up some work on that. Gonna try and get the alignment pushed up to 2mrw if possible.

Oh, I didn’t forget the pics of the tie rods for the picture ******.

Marking them camber adjusting cams really paid off. I was just off on the tie rods. They only had to adjust the toe.

Decided to throw that taillight tint on the 3rd brake light before I take a nap before work.

Getting ready to swap valve covers and put on coil brackets. But first I needed to make a bracket to hold an oil catch can. Using master cylinder mounting bolts. Cheap catch can but it does the same thing they all do. Gonna test fit before I paint it. I made it at work with only knowing the mounting bolts on the master are spaced roughly 4” apart.
