Replaced my geared hub and upper A-arm.. . Dirty job!

[Monk]

I had a rust hole in my upper control arm,

And earlier on Roy noticed my ball joint hole was worn out basically on the hub.

So this weekend Roy and myself did the deed and replace the arm and a hub assembly with one of his babies he had in stock

[Monk]

I definitely have to say this was not a pretty job to do.

And Roy really knew his stuff, those two big nuts and bolts that hold the a arm were totally rusted in.

I wish I would have taken more pictures as we were removing the Hub but I was all into the job.

This is the new Hub with Roy putting the silicone on the steering arm part.

Also with the new steering arm

This mess was my arm,

If you look carefully at the left of the picture under the nut you can actually see the hole

[Monk]

This is what the upper arm off and boy oh boy what a job that was I mean for Roy that is he he


All that white is Ontario salt

[Monk]

Yup, this was with the new a-arm back on

[Monk]

New upper and low ball joints baby!!

[Monk]

Also this was the the fresh new rebuilt Hub and hub assembly.

I swear I love looking in there, at all the new stuff

[Monk]

A big thanks to Roy's shop for even tackling on this job..

I'm sure both of us will feel it in our muscles for the next few days

Do you need to check the alignment after changing all those components?
