Yeah that would do it
Amazon refunded me for the Mevotech control arm. I couldn't bring myself to ordering the same as a replacement and went with Crown Automotive (they're supposedly the OEM supplier). I don't want to change this arm again :p
That's why I didn't buy the cheaper LCA from rockauto but not happy with the lower ball joints that came with the more expensive LCA's
Mevotech has a decent reputation so I didn't think it would be an issue.
Swapped the arm out earlier today and that front bushing was shot. I could move it by hand! The Crown arm looked pretty good. If I have a problem with my driver side mevotech arm I may order another Crown.
Also changed my t-case fluid today. Looked pretty good for the amount of wheeling i've done!
I think brakes are next on my list.
Glad you got that fixed. I need to do my rear brakes soon. Not much pad left on them
Replaced my SuperLift front crossmember yesterday. It was a six our job (with two of us) because you have to remove the CVs to remove the drop bracket bolts! Found out my drivers-side CV was so stiff I had to pry it to get it to move enough to remove it (could explain the poor gas milage and all the clicking when I turned). SuperLift has beefed up the X-member so hopefully it won't bend as easily now. The new one went in fairly easily and now the tire rubbing is gone since they sit about an inch forward from where they were with the bent X-member. Today, we get the skid plates back on, then off for an alignment. I'm going back up to Moab for four days on Wednesday to see what else I can break!
Yesterday I replaced all 16 spark plugs in my hemi. Oh, what a job!
Installed my new Monroe Load Leveler shocks (F150 version). No real issues except that I had the wrong size washers to use as spacers on the top and had to run to the hardware store. By the looks of the old OEM shocks that I took off, I guess I can say I got my moneys worth out of them (yes - I have the old shock completely compressed with two fingers). I also started PB blasting my front end so I can swap out the struts with the new OME struts as well as new control arm bushings and ball joints.

Tuesday night I installed a QD II front diff in my XK! No I've got QD III lol
