A moan-free, '03

The suspension on my 03 Supercrew was moaning and groaning like the honeymoon suite at Motel 6. After 140K miles the OEM parts were in need of replacement. Lower control arm bushings were making the noise so out they came.

I made the decision to replace everything and purchased all Moog parts via rockauto and spent the better part of Saturday bending wrenches. Added the camber kit too.

Have an alignment appointment first thing in the morning so, she outta be good for another 140K.

I was able to do this in large part to the help provided by this forum.....thanks!

Now, the only thing moaning today is ME........it was a workout to say the least.

Here's a picture of my scrap pile......

I cant' really take all the credit for the antler thing....I got the idea when I read the book.

"Antlers in the tree"......by Whoogoose da Moose
my favorite native Indian writer.....he was MOOWn-he-cain.
