[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3136583, member: 29706"] Yep sometimes it's just easier to have spares you can rebuild and then swap. Did that with a carb before so I could do the rebuild in school then make the swap in a single class. Planning to do the same thing with my truck engine so I can take the time to rebuild it and make sure everything is correct then just do a swap over a weekend. Probably rebuild the rear end the same way at some point and possibly put a truetrac locker in it. Very glad I have a full frame vehicle so I don't have to worry about bending some little tab though, LOL. But for now got the end links and the sway bar bushings replaced. The end links were toast and the bushing were probably the factory ones. The new bushings are as hard as a rock compared to the old ones. The new end links are nice and tight too. The driver side one is the one that popped off while I was turning and the passenger side one wasn't far off. Just wasn't something I normally pay attention too, generally it's check the boots on the ball joints and tie rod ends. And while doing the end links I can see the tie rod end boots are cracked through pretty much all the way around but whats another 80 bucks when I already have the rest of the parts. This way when it's all done it's brand new with good quality parts. [/QUOTE]
