PNW Chit Chat thread

Yup that's what I thought. I can't even get one thread to catch. So What do you think about sanding/filing down the taper on the joint so it'll fit. That or return em but I'm on limited time. However I don't want to jeopardize the integrity of the parts' performance so I just might have to return em

Hard to say about sanding them. If you clean up the holes and still won't work return them. Get another brand. Shit, I have a set of NIB mahle ball joints for the 89 but I can't find them.

Not what I wanted to hear but that's what I thought. I'll just send them back. What brand would you recommend besides oem those are hella expensive. Lemforder?

[dereliiict]

No I bought febi control arms with joints already installed. My problem is the joint going in to hub won't go far enough into the hole to get the first threads on the nut to thread.

I feel like I had this problem on the last febi I used. I seem to remember using a big hammer and a lot of choice vocabulary.

Could be mixing that up with anything else though...

I keep my driver door unlocked in U district. So if anyone want's to steal my pile have at it.

Ahahahaha I do the exact same thing.... Got my bike which was in a u-lock stolen from the UW in broad daylight last summer.

Lemfeorder is good quality.

Don't play around with filing/sanding them - they're obviously incorrect for the vehicle or machined incorrectly. Just return them for credit and use the credit towards the set of Lemfeorder's.

Did you check/cross the part numbers of what you got with your vin# in realoem?

I don't hesitate to run into a store with all my windows down. I don't leave anything in the car to be stolen - I know it's a bad idea but i've never had anything stolen from my car. I guess sooner or later it'll happen but until than I have faith in humanity and also think I have good luck. #kanyeshrug

I don't either but people will take anything, they took my ashtray with less than 1$ in change, an air freshener, and iPhone headphones which pisses me off because my stupid phone doesn't have a headphone jack.

The uro guibos aren't all that bad I've tried everything and I currently have one in both cars with zero issues.

I would rather run a 30 year old OE part than that URO garbage.
