ya thats what she said....


so replacing my bearing hubs today, and putting on some fabtech tierods i bought off a member here a few months ago.

working on the passenger side, got the tie rod on without any problems.
now working to replace the bearing hub... holy shiznit those 2 bracet bolts are on tight! i snapped my 3/8 breaker bar. so moved up to a 1/2 inch.


well i gave up on doing the bearing hubs today.
i just couldnt get the 2 bolts for the caliper bracket off. i might take it to a shop to have the break the bolts loose, then try again.

after i got the tie rods in and everything put back together.. i started working on the left door ajar issue i have been having.
my ass was sagging and the ride was just crap when the air ride isnt working.

im still not sure what the cause is.

i disconnected the plug in to the BCM.. still didnt work.

so i did a work around using the wiring info from this site

i just took a small bit of 10 gauge wire, and jumped the rear left door to the drivers door in the wiring plug that goes to the BCM.
compressor kicked in and now my babys ass is in the air like a cheerleader on prom night!

i had to call Fabtech about the install of these.

in the instructions, it shows that the zerk is up and spindle going down.
OEM is opposite. so fabtech told me " Nonlifted H2s go with OEM install.. Zerk down and spindle up" so if this helps anyone down the line.

also Fabtech calls for 35 ft lbs when torquing the spindle bolt in.
this seems pretty loose to me.
i ended up going with about 70 ft lbs.
i dont know how this will effect the tie rods in the long run, but i know they wont fall off.
