Complete front end rehabilitation...
1988 Limited, 4WD, 6 cyl, Automatic, 180,000 miles.
This all started when I went to the shop for a front end alignment. I was told that almost connecting point in the front end needed replacement. I verified that all of the tie rods and ball joints were toast. Based on the year and mileage the only justifiable thing was to make the repairs myself and put what I would have spent on labor toward the new parts. Needless to say I'm finding out that many parts are seized far beyond separation. The spindles refuse to part from the hubs. So I'm going for new CV axels. Any input on what type I should get? I see that Advanced Auto Parts offers GSP axels and hubs. Link to the manufacturers web-site... http://us.gsp.cn/main/
Any input on this?
