John S's Journal

The good news is that my Napa online order for steering rack silicone boots came in yesterday. The bad news is that my steering rack boots came in yesterday. Same part number on 2 different boxes but two very different boots and no idea when they were going to have any replacements in. So, back they go and I’m going to use the standard rubber ones that I got months ago and heard tales of woe about. I hope it doesn’t bite me in the ass down the road but I want to get the suspension done so I can get the engine and gearbox back in so I’ll roll the dice and hope the boots aren’t the inferior rubber ones that I read about.

The better news is that today’s mail brought the wheel bearing shims that I needed to finish the front hubs. I had hoped to finish both sides today but too many other things got in my way and only got one completely done. I have the whole day to myself tomorrow so fingers crossed I can make some headway. The parts are supposed to be back from the powder coater which would be awesome. So there is no lack of things to do.
