3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

[fancyTBI]

Looks like there was some sort of front end work done (besides ball joints) at one time. The tie rod boots have MOOG embossed on them. It is coming apart fairly decently. Fighting with the upper shock nut right now. Peep the rust on the ground. Even for a clean IL truck there is still tons of flakes and scaling falling off.

Are you doing new wheel hub assemblies?

You’re gonna be glad you took the brakes off of that spindle. That unit is heavy and cumbersome

 

[Orpedcrow]

I don’t mean to perpetuate the project creep, but I’d keep an eye on the brake lines too.

Everything run up the flag is fair.

I’m doing bearings and races while I’m in there.

@Orpedcrow good eye. I had been shuffling it around here and there. It’s out of the way for now. I am doing new brake lines up front too but don’t need one rupturing on me.

Spring and spindle are out. Now to get the ball joints out and then remove the control arms. Once those are out I’m going to put that Rustoleum on all the hard to reach places.

Duhhh, forgot not 4WD.

Maybe I will lower my K2500 in the rear.

Ball joint press is real nice. Took the lower out without issue.

Do they make TTX 2wd upper and lower ball joints?
