Oh hi.
Ok so, couple things.
Firstly, Pete informed me the front struts, although they don’t look to be leaking or anything, are tired.
Secondly I really got down and looked closely at the lcab, and they do seem to be cracking ever so slightly. So I would suggest replacing them, we’ll adjust the price accordingly, having extra lollipops at least helps speed up the process as it’s just a swap at that point, very little downtime.
The rear trailing arm bushings are more than likely shot. poly squeaks. no matter what. it will. I suggest using the updated rtab and one of the various ‘limiter kits’ on the market, this stiffens up the stock bushing, adds life, and doesn’t squeak.
Chances are you do need subframe bushings, to minimize downtime I can sell you the subframe out of my parts car, have new bushings pressed in, and swap it. Pretty easy job aside from pressing the bushings, rear end has to come out to do it though, which isn’t bad at all, but then you’d probably want to do the diff mount bushings as well.
Finally the rear balljoints, again I have new upper and lower arms for you, which you can have replaced depending on which ones need it, mine are still solid it seems after almost 140k hard miles, if yours are bad I dont think the ones on the part car are bad at all.
Pending all of that you’ll have a VERY solid DD suspension wise. Don’t forget the driveshaft guibo and center bearing though!
Thanks for looking into the parts again man. OK, let me map out what I’m going to do here so I can get the right parts off of you based on the advice I received here. Considering your offer on the subframe and the rear arms.
I’ll text you or PM you offline to talk about pricing etc after I figure out what I’ll do exactly.
