Some of you may remember that I had a problem with axle seals leaking a while back. All better now. Thanks to all who offered tips and encouragement.
It turned out that I had pinched an "O" ring somehow in the process and had to do it yet another time. I called Bug City in Ct. and talked with...(name escapes me)...A very helpful guy that has helped me in the past. He had a German seal kit available for a bit more money which was considerably better than the ones that came with the Rancho Pro Street transmission that I installed. Well worth the extra few $$$ to end the pain and frustration. When I received the kits I did both sides again, which had me doing the job a total of 5 times . 3 on one side and 2 on the other. I think I could almost do it blindfolded now.
While I waited for the tranny to arrive ,my wife and I tore out the carpeting and seats, painted the floors, made new carpets and re-stained the dash and door cards, etc. The seats which were split , were re-done with new foam for lumbar and leg support and are now very comfortable. Everything was back together and running fine so I could put about 100 miles on just before it snowed.
I felt so good about how things were going that I brought it down to get an alignment..... It appears that I'm about to become a shade tree expert on a link pin front end.
Thanks again to all my knuckleheaded friends for all the help . I'll let y'all know how it turns out. It is fockin' madness.
