Sometimes the wrenching gods actually smile down on you.
I rented a 7in angle grinder because I figured I’d have to cut all these bolts out after the first one. undid the nut for the arm on the other side and it zipped right out! Pulled out the arm and the bushing was fine!
I figured if the passenger side arm was that bad they’d all be bad but I guess it was just that one. added more grease and a new bolt and we were done.
Nice when a job is easier than you think, don’t think that’s ever happened to me.
Took the truck for a 40 minute drive and it was great. Goes down the road so much better. Before I’d let off the gas and it would want to swerve into the other lane, now it drives more or less straight.
Still lots of little jobs to do. Smells like it’s running really rich and the tank has a slow leak somewhere but at least it feels somewhat safe to drive around.
And it’s ready for Woodward!

Hi! Nice work on the build. Amazing progress! By the way, I've checked air lift suspension on 4WheelOnline after reading your build last week.
