So I have a squeak in the front end of my truck while turning and going over a bump. Last weekend, I replaced the stabilizer bar bushings and end links. Looking around with the tire off, I decided that I should replace my ball joints at some point since the boots were cracked. When I started driving it on Monday, the squeak was still there. (Before anyone asks, I did monkey with the hood bumpers and it was not them.) Given the chance to spend three days on the forums, I decided that I would shoot this squirrel with a 12ga at a distance of two feet.
So here's what I have showing up this week so far:
Lower Control Arms
Lower Ball Joints
Upper Control Arms
Upper Ball Joints
Quick Struts
Hub Assemblies
Brake Shields
Since I'm saving a bunch of labor money, I decided to buy some stuff that I will probably never use again, but who doesn't want more tools?:
35mm Impact Socket
Pickle Fork Set
Air Hammer
Ball Joint Press Kit
Already in the garage:
Torque Wrenches
Pitman Puller
Impact Sockets
Air Wrench
Air Ratchet
Big Hammers
Big Pipe
The questions are:
Should I be replacing anything else while I have the whole dang thing torn apart?
Should I buy more tools?
(BTW: If you find this post on the OS, ignore it. I was flipping back and forth during my reserch and posted on the wrong one. )
