Lol. Getting older sucks don't it?

 

Yes it does... Harsh work hours do this to ya... Lol

 

gonna be in the WK2... new ball joints are weird on this thing theres a 1/4in gap between the rubber seal and knuckle... the ball joints upper and lower are longer then my other old ones by about that 1/4in also... thats what i get for buying them off ebay i guess... i dunno if they are gonna wear out my axles bearings or not... it kinda sets the axle shaft off a little downwards...

then i get one all put together and stuck the wheel and tire on and have TONS of play up and down... looks like my hub assembly was about to take a crap on me... the ones in the spare axle are different so cant use them... i cant run off and spend $200 on new hub assemblies right now so its not going anywhere for a bit i guess... i need to sell this 8.8... lol... that would get me my hubs... i really HATE taking them off and on though... did that several times today too... sucks... plus i gotta rebuild the brake line setup in the back and get the bumper on... just not enough time... probly wont be driving on the beach but ill be there... lol

 

Man, you can't win for trying. Lol

 

This **** always happens to me... Lol

 

did they come with the screw in inserts?works in same manner except insert in bottom of outer c instead of top on a 30http://www.icemy.com/thread-79705-1-1.html

 

Nope... All 4 were pressed in like the old ones... Had to rent the press... Got them out and in then took the press back... Only to find the tapered side is to long... On all 4 by a 1/4in... Seems folks have found that like autozones are to long on the lower but good on the uppers... Then oreillys will be the opposite and napa will be something different or whatever... Most folks have been mixing brands... Thats what im gonna have to do to I guess...

Same issue as this guy... Im not ordering them off the net again... To much of a pain to send back if they are not right...

mine fit just fine from napa go figure also installed new threade insert tightend top joint down then scred in insert and tightened bottom joint

 

i was gonna go to napa for them and the hubs this time... 35's will eat hubs up and i figure they may have the right ball joints... my old ones nor my new ones have anything screw like to them... they all pressed in... on my 90 axle and on my other axle i forget what year it came from... think 86 or something... had bolt on style brake caliper bracket... instead of it all being one part like my 90's... i didnt know they changed so much...

 

here how they go...

 

all years have them ...http://www.jeep4x4center.com/ball-jo...-83500202.html
