Yep, tried that too. I messed around over 3 hours total one day and after 2 hours the next day I gave up. Wasted a half gallon of fluid too and never got past the rear brakes. The old fashioned way with a hose submerged in fluid worked and I was done in a half hour total.
If your front jounce stops are bad your rig will handle like shit. Replace them before you even think about anything else. You might be amazed. They are a critical part of a torsion bar suspension.
Bad Jounce stops and sway bar links will make it ride real bad. The suspension is designed to ride on them.
That sucks man. Must have been a hard hit. No recourse for the deadbeat driver I assume. That's a tough call on the next truck. The nnbs have that dash cracking issue.. they are more finished look but I like my steel bumpers.
At least your family is safe, that's what matters the most!
Funny that you say that. I noticed my sway bar end links are a little worn. Bushings are cracked.
I will, but man, when does it end?? Lol
Are you going to buy it back from the insurance company?
Dang. You weren't even finished with your build! Now you get to start over though.
I got ****** a couple of years ago. I had a 2001 Dakota, 145k, ran great. Hit a deer, insurance cut me a check for trade in value, nowhere near what the truck would have cost to replace but it was what they were willing to pay, by what the body shop gave their way overestimated damage. So it basically cost me a perfectly good vehicle for $2500 check. Still pissed. And note, I owned it from Day 1, paid just shy of 25k new.
