    There are good vendors and crappy vendors out there, and wanted to say thanks to the good folks at Moab 4x4 Outpost! Broke a rear lower control arm on Flat Iron Mesa last week and they didn't have a spare or new one around. I ordered a new pair of Teraflex but they wouldn't be in till the next...

    Moog Lower Ball Joint Nut Size

    Well go figure I'd run into something today... New lower ball joint nut is much larger than the old stock one that came off... biggest socket I've got is a 1 1/4 and it's too small. Any idea what size moog uses for lower ball joint castle nut for a 2001 D30? I could take the bleepin nut with...

    Crystal Geyser / White Sands Area
