I'm totally digging the upscale mellow background music. One of the many reasons I love this channel!

That lower through bolt needs looking at in any high mileage jag. Both of Mine were completely knarled, so replaced them. Also purchased new bushings that needed pressing in lightly. Point noted on the thread locker!i
