Planned on installing the FUCAs today. Gf wanted to go to a neighborhood garage sale event. So we did. Now at Dennys waiting for a table, and I'm sleepy now...

Lein's rain shields for the TrackSpec hood vents are done. The boy is lucky that I like him. Otherwise he would be waiting until after ZDayZ.

Just finished cutting the grass when the rain hit.

It won't get cut again until Monday after ZDayZ. I'm going to need a bush hog then.

Next on my to do list. Clean the Z inside and out.

But I HATE cleaning the windows on the inside.

When you start into the install. When you remove the bolts that hold the ball joint stud in place. The stock arm may pop up by it's self. The stock rubber bushings are doing this. Once the upper arm is free of the knuckle. Try to move the arm up and down. You will see how much resistance there is with the stock rubber bushings.

Do the same thing once you have the SPL arms installed but not to the knuckle. The arms will fall under their own weight.

Now think of every rubber bushing in the whole suspension system doing that. That is a lot of resistance. In the front you have 8 bushings. In the rear, you have 18 bushings.

Come to think of it. That's a LOT of monkey motion in the rear.

Someone be sure and get pics of EW AND his mythical Z... it has to be a unicorn, it's always in the shop or parked in some garage in Michigan.....

It NEVER sees the light of day... unless the garage door is up....
