My driver seat was broke and poorly welded with a bolt or two added in for good measure, I didn't realize how uncomfortable it was until I put zj seats in.

I did my first drum job about 2 years ago, it really wasn't that bad. I actually held up the new shoes by the old ones a couple times before disassembling them, to be triple-sure I got the right ones in the right places (as well as only doing one side at a time)
A quick Google reveals FSM images that suggest that the front (leading) shoe should have a shorter lining area than the rear (trailing).
Spray some penetrant on the wheel cylinder fittings and bolts about a week ahead of the job - I did that and most of them unscrewed without a fight (one fitting rounded off when I put the wrench on it, but not because the threads were rusted).
Riding around a lot lately and im starting to suspect the squealing i get from the rear in corners is from the sway bar being off center or working too well with poly/thermoplastic bushings. I notice it more when the leverage is on the left rear wheel. Front could be in a similar pinch. The front links seem a bit short and i should find a replacement option.
Going to be taking it in for some serious work in the next few weeks, i’ll get it to a 4wd alignment shop and have them fix it up.
Get rid of the rear sway bar.
I’d rather not… I mean I know it’s kind of useless given the size that it is but I’d rather have it back there lol. I drove around without the front connected and that sucked.

I love Suburbans. I own two. A '73 and an '02. Both are K2500 big blocks. The '02 is currently The Bride's DD. The '73 is in retirement due to serious body rust. Previous owner used to run it through the surf in Baja. I need to either find a donor body, or decide to cut out all the rust and turn it into an open top oversized trail buggy.
