    You should start a build thread and put your ideas there. As you do them you'll have documentation of it and you can check the ideas and projects off your list.

    Rides pretty damn good. No squeaky suspension stuffs in the front.

    I think I need to tighten up my sway links. Slightly more body roll than I remember.

    Feels "normal" again, and steering wheel has returned to the 12 o'clock top position instead of the 9 o'clock top position. Lol

    This idea thread is to help keep all my scrat from ice age thinkings out of my build thread.




    My brain ping pongs around like a crackhead who has drank 7 five-hour energy drinks.

    I also need to order some grease for my upper ball joints now that they are greasbale.

    Curious as to what @FirstGenVol uses.
    I was thinking about picking up this from the local tractor supply so I don't have to wait on tube arrival.

    I can't recall what the SPC spec was off hand.

    Honestly, I had 2 types of grease. One for my UCA's and another for my driveshaft. I eventually got them mixed up after switching out my grease gun so many times. I stopped caring. Both were good quality grease so I'm sure it won't hurt. I know one I bought was Valvoline. Can't recall the other. SPC is very specific on what they recommend.

    I don't have any stock grease fittings. Just the four I've added. So whatever I use will be the only grease I use.

    I'll have to see if I can find my paperwork when I get home. Rather put the right stuff in from the get go.

    Placed my order for Sankei 555 inner/outer tie rods. Had a promo code for free shipping. I would have picked up in store, but one item was not eligible. All four shipped to me. LOL

    @empty_lord, exceptional feel, and look of quality on the NAPA sankei 555 inner/outer tie rod ends. Thank you so much. :hattip:

    I'm no expert on the rack ends, but they look OEM based on the little that I know about tie rods.

    Them boys at Napa know how to move some product. I ordered these 22 hours ago. :rofl:
    :bananadance:

    More pictures can be taken upon request up until after I install these.

    @empty_lord, no paper work came with these outer tie rods. Do you use the grease fitting, or not? Edit: they came with a pre-installed bolt in the grease fitting hole.

    If you do, what grease do you put in it? I figure I'll use the same stuff for my upper ball joints as well.

    Mine didn’t have grease fittings. Probably won’t hurt to run them

    I know that. I was going to edit this post to say that. Just hadn't gotten to it yet.

    Or dry cell? Does it have to be AGM?

    Higher end AGM require it. The top
    Of the battery usually will have the charge spec listed.
