Track bar replacement
So I've now sucsessfully replaced another track bar however I'm now getting a popping sound and feeling from the driver side floor pan. I'm gonna gop back over all the mounting hardware tonight. Anyone experience the same?

Finally someone who has the same problem as me. I didn't replace mine (yet), the popping comes and goes. I think mine needs greasing, I'll let you know how it goes.

Found out the track bar ball joint was bad after 20 minutes of driving. I shouldnt have cheaped out and bought the ching chong part. Replaced with MOOG part and all better. 48 hrs later my power steering pump crapped on me. Bearing started grinding and peed fluid all over mt garage floor. Replaced the complete pump and idler pulley over by the alternator. Up and running again. Busy weekend for me.

Power steering pump was easy along with the Idler pulley. I recommend when you do a pump, buy the new pulley for the pump and install. Dont waste your time with a puller to reuse your old pulley. Cheap enough part.
When you do a track bar, either use a pickle for or you may have to remove the track bar bracket to the frame with the track bar and remove the track bar from the bracket.
