The bushing is indeed constrained between the frame. And the length of the arm from the bushing to the balljoint can't have changed much. I'm also pretty confident that the mild steel hasn't been...

I try to keep it interesting. :rolleyes: If I'd just bolted it back together in an afternoon and gone camping it really would have been boring. :)

I was just coming in from the garage to post an...

This is one of those mistakes that seems so obvious in retrospect, but at the time it was not. The only good thing is that it's so frustrating that hopefully I'll remember this lesson.

I think I should get a boat.

I finally got the replacement bushing and pressed it into the passenger side control arm tonight. I went really slowly, but it seemed to be moving, so I kept going. I...

That bendy pole doesn't really bend :). But I'm hoping I can torque these back in using the vice, since it will only be 125 ft/lbs, not whatever obscene number was required to get them out. I also...

I got the joint out of the arm, sort of accidentally. I drilled some holes in the back, and then spun the back using a chisel. The plan was to remove the ball and then cut the 'tube' so I could crush...

I also found one at a wrecker in Alberta. I have to make a judgement call on my current knuckle. It's the upper taper I'm worried about. The nut was rusted in place, but the stud was able to spin in...

Having been disappointed by my vice I set up a more 'natural' setup. I bolted the arm to piece of steel and wedged it between two trees. I added the longest cheater that I could find to the breaker....

It's moved with me once.

When I tried to fix it 15 years ago I disassembled the cards and got them squeaky clean. It was very satisfying. I just can't remember if I drained them before it went...

I did get the 3/4" bar. That's how I ripped the bench apart :)



That's my stool! I did fix it once about 15 years ago. Almost. I got it running again, fixed a broken stud, but it still had an...

I obviously need an upgrade. For now I'm just going to screw it back together and try to cobble something together with some steel bar and a couple of trees. I kind of doubt that this thing is going...

It turns out that my vice isn't as secure as I thought. The vice held up fine. I've been looking for an excuse to clean the bench for a while now. I guess I'll have to dig through everything just to...

My breaker bars are all 1/2" drive and most are about 24" long. I've been using a 3' cheater, so about 3.5' overall. I'm seeing tons of flex in the bar, so I think most of the energy is going there....

It's interesting that the threads on the ball joint you screwed out look almost like the threads on the one that I pressed out. And likewise for the threads in the arms. So maybe my arm isn't as...

I don't have an inside mic or anything like that, but I'll see if I can cobble something together with some wire to at least measure the depth of the threads.

I decided to do some experiments of my own. I threaded the old balljoint back into the Dorman arm (I didn't want to mess up the new joint). The threads are messy, and it was a bit tricky to get it...

Sometimes I forget that these vans are supposed to leave the driveway. Glad you got out and had some fun. It's not really living up to its name on the inside :).

TheEyesore What do the bushings in your RK620369 look like compared to the K7118? I'm wondering if I should replace the control arm bushings as well as the ball joints. I wish I could just order a...

I finally got most of the drivers side bolted back together. After I did the trial fit I re-assembled everything again with the boot on the lower ball joint which made much more sense. Despite the...

I think I got overly excited because I have a 'reasonable' 1/2" impact now. It's breezed through stuff that I used to struggle with. But this thing just doesn't move.

When you put it that way it is. I'd obviously like to have good ball joints in good arms (or even in mediocre arms). I'm not so much conflicted about what I want, but what I think I can achieve. I'm...
