    Question about installing control arm bolts

    Set up your front axel for a forward angle of at least 6 degrees. The adjustment of the arm is to create a geometry where your caster is at a starting point of 6 degreese forward (top). you may need to change this to your drive-line dynamics.

    Cylinder 6 piston failed

    I know, I like how they look but... weigh a ton and to be honest, I like steel wheels. You can bend them back, paint them and scrape the crap right out of them! Those are a booger, they are out of balance one has like 4 lbs. of weights on it... If they did that and then ran them, the tire is...
