  1. 20200703 - Here you can see the tear in the boot (left) it was sent that way. Again, I said F-IT and just ordered the Energy Suspension one's (right)

  2. 20200603 - flipped after waiting it to cure for a couple hours. I sprayed a couple coats on each.

  3. 20200603 - Done! I think those will work just fine.

  4. 20200603 - Paint done, w/Manufacture and Part # on the box.

  5. 20200603 - Good Ol' Rust-Oleum to the rescue. And don't forget to protect the threads. I chose gloss, figure after a few scrubs and washes it will be...

  6. 20200603 - I think they'll add that little touch, the little touch that nobody will no or care. Again, I'm not nobody. Easier to go to the next...

  7. 20200603 - And since I'm spraying black. I might as well do a touch-up on the A-Arms themselves.

  8. 20200603 - Admiring the welds.

  9. 20200603 - These are really nicely made and appear to be stout. I did have a tear in one of the boots and instead of calling them, I just order the...

  10. 20200603 - Part # I believe?

  11. 20200603 - I went with these for the simple reason that if the steering arms need cut down a little bit, I can see where exactly. The one's in the...

  12. 20200603 - I was going to go with clear, but decided just to spray the black. I'm trying to keep anything I paint all clean and crisp for areas that...

  13. 20200603 - I decided to give these a shot of black gloss, since I'm not installing them right now.

  14. 20200516 - Great vice! Solid and functional all around. Pink? Don't judge me :P I tore down an old book shelf when we bought the house and decided...

  15. 20200622 - Getting ready to grind down these threaded parts. I'm only taking off the amount of threads, as to what what needs to come off for the...

  16. 20200515 - Another shot of the powder coat. Yeah, it's got to come off if you even want a chance at getting those ball joints threaded. *NOTE: I...

  17. 20200515 - Using the Dremel with wire attachment. If you don't have a Dremel - GET ONE! It's by far my best go-to tool to solve any and all kinds...

  18. 20200515 - Crappy photo, but you can see the difference.

  19. 20200516 - Needed a shop vice. Funny, I lived without one for so many years, but it's essential for some things, kind of like getting these ball...

  20. 20200516 - BESSEY BABY! I'm trying not to use the so called "Cheaper Tools" since I don't like a one-time-use tool. You know who I am talking about....

  21. 20200515 - I think that will do just fine!

  22. 20200515 - Use the direction and threads for guidance. But either way, make sure you are only doing this to the (rear) of each the driver and...

  23. 20200515 - This should be correct! As if you were viewing them from the rear of the car - {Driver side on the left and passenger on the right.} ...

  24. 20200515 - Time to clean-out the (pc-powder ) from the threads. As all builders seem to recommend this and it just makes sense.

  25. 20200515 - That's a lot of pc and would I woulldn't even want to try and thread that on. Yeah, wire brush it out carefully.
