I threw on some clothes and got completely filthy & greasy again... I had just taken a 30 min shower to turn my hands gray instead of the tar black they were.

If you want to continue to stay filthy, feel free. They are light and breathe and I love the fact that I still have the dexterity to work. It has been hotter up here this summer than in Miami

Yes, we all use PB Blaster here.


So you are in good shape to replace them again in a couple months when they break again.

OE brand sucks.

yes, everyone, pb blaster and wd-40 are two different things, wd-40 is a water displacement, not a product to use on things like bike chains, it is not a lubricant. pb blaster, well it tears :q:q:q:q up, eats through rubber

I remember doing my front end links. Blech. I had to hammer that end link over and over, and suddenly it popped free.

thats how you do it. its a taper fit so it wedges into the hole also like the lower ball joints are, the answer is get a BFH and wail on it. if its the endlink stuck into the bar hit the bar close to the hole, if lower ball joint hit the knuckle, a few good hits will jar it loose.

I owe all my success to this bottle.. it honestly fahks WD-40 in the ASZ!!!! If you dont have any, get some.. It made every piece of metal it touched look brand new. My entire front end looks factory now! (But I did smell it burning off while driving =/ well worth the fumes tho - Beware, has ingredient known to cause cancer in California LOL

PB FTW!!!! you tried the foam cup test

U mean like the bushings it dripped on>>>

they should be fine if pb deteriorated the bushings all of mine would be gone by now

PB FTW!!!! you tried the foam cup test

I will have to try spraying it on a foam cup and take some pics and post it on here.

I was a Liquid Wrench guy in the past. But when I went to do my front end someone on here told me to use PB so I did. Not Im a believer! PB is some good CHIT!!!
