Just some kids AC build WIP

This is staring to feel like a fitting image

 

On the trans it would probably be best to do multiple drain and fills. Flushes can cause some issues under certain circumstances.

Did you run Moog lower ball joints? I've heard of a lot of failures on those with less than 30k miles. Not worth the cost savings really. My truck had them on it when I bought it and I changed them within about 3k miles with OEM and new bolts.

 

I was planning on having a flush and filter change down. I don't have the tools to that shit on my own. As for the Moog bits I was under the impression that they made good stuff and they were about the same price as an OE one. But I will keep my eyes and ears on it. I actually originally decided to replace them because some lady told me a story about how hers had essentially just slipped apart. Thanks for the heads up!!!!

 

Could just do drain and fills like many reccomend. Little harder to do on your 05 than my 01 but still possible.
Moog is pretty decent for just about everything else. Their lower ball joints on Tacoma's, 4runners, and tundras just aren't great.
Theres a few threads about it here if you search around.

 

God damn it why did one of you have to say something about my LBJ's I got a call from those moog fuckers about a recall. In good news I finally Got my Lower control arm bushings and outer tire rods replaced when I got my camburg Uni ball UCA's replaced. pics to come. otherwise all of my money is now getting sunk into a 1998 VW Cabrio. It's a little 2 liter 5 speed POS. Engine mounts are gone. there's a large rad leak. and both front wheel bearing are blown. as so is probably every other rubber piece in the engine bay. Not to mention revere pops out under pretty much any load. At least it was only 1500 bucks.

 

You're alive! Where ya' been?

 

Busy with all the things life, school, my other projects. Plus the trucks been running great and reliable. Haven't felt the need to come on here. I know shame on me. But I'm back to being too bored in class so I'm back!

 

I give up on finding photos of the UCA's U can find them out there. They definitely squeaked for the first week. Lots of teflon lube later. It squeaks maybe once a month. Little more lube and a clean and it back too good. Intervals are increasing which is nice. Anyway I have also installed some new front door speakers. But tonight I finally pulled the trigger and snagged a "cheap" double din head unit and the same speakers for the rear.
