What are you doing to the front end?

I bought my XK brand new 4 1/2 years ago and just hit 100,000 miles. Both my upper and lower ball joints are shot as well as the bushings in the lower control arm and front differential brackets. Im ordering JBA UCA's and new lower control arms from Rock Auto. When I have everthing tore apart I'll also replace those differential bushings that are bad.

Go ahead and pencil yourself in, I have made no plans for you - your'e good.

Matt im good to go

Cool.. on a good pace to get there 6 times this year

Im not sure if I'll have the front end of the XK done by then and my inspection is due on March 31st. I'll have to play it by ear as Im waiting on my bonus which should come anytime in the next few weeks.

What needs to be done man? Lets make it happen... gotta see you test out the snorkel!

Once thats all done I'll be getting the front end aligned along with a new set of MT/R's. Im hoping that those JBA UCA's fix my alignment issue so I stop cupping tires.

I wish I could make this one. I'll be at The Atlantic City Beer Festival on the 1st,and I would of had work on the weekend of the 15th.....

I guess it's ok,I don't have my hooks mounted yet anyway.

I'm thinking 285/70R17's. I havent decided for sure yet. If I dont get the 285's then Id definitely go with the 275/70's. I would still need to do a little more work to the XK get the 285's to fit without rubbing when flexed out.
