    Yup, Mevotech is complete and utter fucking garbage. How funny would it be if the shitty UCA ended up being the primary contributor to you spending all this extra money on new UBJ? OEM wins, every time. Buy once, cry once.

    Also looks like your tire has been making contact with the knuckle/UBJ. Another potential contributor here.

    Gumbo it was... Cooked down some tomatoes and okra. Browned some gator. Sweated a trinity.. Made a dark roux... put it all together with a bit of cajun spice and thinned it down with a quart of crawfish stock. Added the andouille and let it simmer for a bit.
    Knocked it outta the park

    Anyone buy a new dishwasher lately? Seems like Bosch is still considered the "best" by many but open to suggestions. The Bosch 500 from Costco is what I'm leaning towards.

    I have a Bosch 500 series and do like it. No complaints except that (like all new dishwashers) it doesn't vent from the top so you are forced to use jet dry or a drying agent or else they do not dry.

    We have what I think is a 300-series. Model number starts SHE55C05...

    Been going great for 16 years now.

    Really? Even our 15 year old Whirlpool dries dishes well. I was reading that the 500 series from Costco is different than if purchased elsewhere. It doesn't have the auto air feature.

    New dishwashers don't dry dishes? Is that an energy savings thing?

    I put a Whirlpool WDF330PAHT in 2 years ago and it works like you'd want it to and yes, it does have a drying setting. It was one of only two brands that still offered Bisque as a color option as well.
