woohoo free allignment!
i suppose i'll wait on the tie rods too. the ends look ok, but the sleeves are pretty orange and flakey. maybe they'll hook me up at the dealership.

'89 had the recall done just before i bought it. (2 months ago). bought it because the '94 took a tumble right before i was supposed to start work, and i didn't know what shape it was going to be in for working. its crinkled now, but runs great still. it will probably drive better with all the new front end lovin', its always been a little "wandery". i love that '89 though. everything works but the stereo. that's easy to resolve as long as i can keep up on the mechanical stuff. i never thought i'd be so stoked to have a tailgate that closes and opens with a click and not a slam. it's probably ready for wheel bearings... i guess i'm getting all the practice in with the other truck.

i'm learning to just take my time here and not rush things. when i rebuild the other side, i'll have a much better idea of what i'm getting in to. only bummer is it will be a week before i can get back to it.

cheers,
j.
