Getting the Wheeling Fever

x2. Check em and replace as needed. Always replace in pairs, though. Just makes sense <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

BTW, the Precision P/N is 450. ~$25 each.


Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

trailing arm is fine, rear coild are fine, i havent checked the u joint, its set for almost a year, im going to throw it on bricks and check the transfer case bushing.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
got 2 more quick questions, its been more than six months since i tore my dash apart trying to fix my blower motor.
on the center console that holds the radio/clock/cigarette lighter i have a wire coming off the consoles harness and i cant figure where it goes, im up now trying to find it in the electrical manual, its got 3 prongs, 1 verticle red, 1 virticle black, 1 horizontal red with black stripe
(is located on top of the previous two)

and i have a question as to where would be a good place to tap into the electrical to add a second cigarette lighter.
i was thinking of just wiring the new one up to the harness that feeds the stock lighter, and adding a switch to turn power off and on.
i bought a switch and an inline fuse, im planning to use said lighter plug to power a cheap little fan(to keep my doggies in back cool) and the switch it to shut it off without fiddling with the plug.

im kind of going all or nothing with this post lol
last one.... i promise (for this post)

where would be a good place to tap into the power to run a cobra 18wx st2. is there an easy place in the firewall that i could run a wire through? or a wire somewhere i can tap into, i have a filter i can install to clean up the power a bit.

if theres an easy access place on the firewall where i dont have to drill or cut (hey im in wv, i got primitive tools lol) that would be great and i would just run my CB and lighter plug from that, i am within a week of getting my monty inspected and after i fix this ill post pics of what i did.
