I’m about to tackle the ball joints on my wife’s trailblazer and I’ve started looking everything over to figure out what all I want to take care of while I have it apart.
While looking, I noticed something weird with the end links. I guess my father in law replaced them a couple of years ago when he owned the truck and when he did, he realized the holes that the end links go into had bored themselves out over time and there wasn’t much to hold the new nuts in place. To fix this, he just used washers over the bolts. It seems to be holding ok but does this sound like it should be ok to you guys? Should I do something different?
Thanks
