It’s Sunday, January 7th and I’m taking the day off from shoeing to work on this project and this page.
š ļø Heads-up, Gearheads! While I wield a wrench with the best of them, I’m not a certified mechanicājust a passionate DIYer sharing my vehicular victories and the occasional oopsie. And hey, if you click on some of the shiny links in my articles, they might just lead you to a product paradise. These are affiliate links, which means I might earn a couple of nuts and bolts at no extra cost to you. Itās my way of keeping the garage lights on and the content cranking. Happy tinkering! ššØ
The problem presented as a irregular knock on the way home from our Christmas party. It can be felt in the rear end through the floor. I jacked the rear end up and turned the wheel in neutral and I could feel and see the binding.
