Well, without a garage, the weather has hindered me from doing much of ANYTHING to my ride in the past month or so. But it's supposed to be pushing 50 today, so I finally get to finish rebuilding my steering system tonight. Idler arm rebuild kit and drag link have been sitting in my kitchen for about 6 weeks. After today, she goes into the shop for LCA rebuild. The front end will be ALL NEW! Can't wait!

I like to use anti-sieze compound on the tapered mating surfaces of the tie rod ends. Makes life easier for the poor bloke who has to take it apart the next time (probably me).

thats what i do. it makes it alot easier to adjust them.
