motavated Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Haven't wrote in my thread in a while. Little shit done here and there. Like fixing the lights "dome" and "dash", Some vacuum leaks. Tuning, Some small misc pieces. Etc etc etc. Right now that in my to do list is fix the front suspension since its a little to low, the rear sway bar, fix my speakers and my front "chin" spoiler.... Since I am low on cash. I will have to wait for next months check. :D Having some problems with my secondarys.. Like its knocking... Maybe need bigger jets? It pulls all they way up to 6,000 on the primaries with out knocking. But once they kick in it starts to knock a little... Also my bro's 240sx is ready. It has been dead for 5 months and now its rolling. It felt great that me and my bro were rolling together again. It made me happy. :) :what caused the failure: :How she is today: So other than that... My truck is almost complete. That plus a paint job! :) But with all project and cars. They are never complete. Always needs mods and improvements... HE! Peace!!!! Quote Link to comment

motavated Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Taking off the lower control arm bushing today... Again... Here are some pics on how to do it. I used the spring compressor tool from auto zone, a washer roughly the same diameter as the bushing and a pipe bigger than the bushing. Sore muscles is what I have right now. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 This is how you put the new bushing on. Installed. Quote Link to comment
