    finally painted my grille

    Done the bed liner bit on my bumpers and fenders to cover the battle scars. Looked nice for a few weeks and then the dirt got ingrained and even a pressure washer wouldn't make them look reasonable. Next step was some masking tape, newspapers and a few spray cans of grey and clearcoat. Looks...

    Drivers side front wheel bearing loose

    Around $250 for the hub assy is an average price. Not sure on the labor charge, but I reckon your tire shop must be owned by a couple of guys called Ben Doon and Phil Mckraken

    Front Drive Shaft Angle................

    Bandit Steve, you could do the cheapskate Scotsmans way of raising your ride height. Loosen off the bolt that holds the clevis onto the bottom of the front shock and pull the shocker up a bit and the re-tighten the bolt. It probably would be a good idea to fit a spacer block to stop the shocker...

    Required Fluid Types

    AlexKJ, can you advise if it's O.K. to substitute the Mopar Steering Fluid with ATF+4 as I doubt if I can obtain it where I am. Thanks

    Air Conditioner Troubles

    Also, make sure that your electric radiator fan runs continuiously. I had a bad connection on the fan relay and that caused the A/C to loose it's cooling effect and overheat the engine in slow traffic.
