West central Sask.
Finally did the fronts today. It was overcast but hit 0 C!!!! Total time is 3 hours from set up to test drive. Like the rears, I used ACDelco professional links and ACDelco blue sway bar bushings. The links were pumped up with the purple Amsoil #2 lithium. It was a 50/50 day as I had to cut half the bolts off but was able to grab one with the vice grips and knock the nut off with the impact. Biggest part of this job is just trying to get the ratchet in a position to comfortably hit the nuts. Did a lot of lying on my back with my head under the vehicle. The rear end clunk was gone and in the short test drive it felt quite solid. The front links were well worn but no obvious play. The bushing were at the end as well.
