Yeah I took of the steering knuckle as well. The uppers were not hard to press out at all. The lower ones however are another story. I wasn't originally going to replace the lowers but decided to get them anyways and I'm glad I did. They looked fine but when I took the steering knuckle off the...

So I'm having one hell of a time trying to get the lower ball joints pressed out. I have the ball joint press tool and the adapter kit but it's so stuck on it ended up bending out the receiving tube of the ball joint press tool. Everything was straight but it just literally started bowing the...

On my 05 trailblazer the right line is the return and the left is the pressure line. Mine broke on the strut tower which is a very common thing to happen because of the rubber piece. Here are some pics of my repair that I did. I used 3/8" fuel hose and some clamps to hold it on there.

I will keep you all posted! I'm going with uppers and lowers all TTX ball joints. Lets all hope these are good.

Thanks for your input! I might go ahead and try them. They seem to have some cool features. I guess I will find out if they are good or not and than everyone else on here will too.

I'm needing new upper ball joints and was looking at rockauto for them and was originally going to look at Moog ball joints but under the heavy duty tab they have Mevotech TTX ball joints for only $4 more. They seem nice but there's not much reviews on the TTX model. I know Mooseman has not had...

Thanks Mounce! That hose is a PITA to get off. You cant see the clamp at the bottom of the hose while your trying to get it off. It also didnt help that the clamp was already bent so when I heard it click and was thinking that it had locked it would just slip back out. I had to use a needle nose...

Thanks for letting me know what that is. Its really oily and dirty at the bottom of that hose. I don't know if its intake manifold gasket than or something with that hose. Its in a really tough spot to clean and even harder to see where it would be coming from. I can tell that at the bottom part...

Im still learning as things break and how to fix them but I have had this slow oil leak for a while now. This is my first 4x4 and today I decided to check differential oil level. It was about an inch low from under the fill plug. Tomorrow I will go and buy some 75w-90 synthetic oil and put some...

I ended up just cutting the other side of the connector off. All the pick-n-pulls around me are about an hour away and since I could fix this at home and spend nothing I decided to do that. I was just seeing if I could purchase it online but it seemed the best way to get it was from a...

So the female side broke to the abs speed sensor. I was turning my wheel and I heard a noise and the abs light came on. Checked it today and the wires on the female side broke. The number on the connector says PA6-GB20 GF10 this one is a 2 pin and the ones that I saw were not the right pin...

Yeah link did not work for me either but I could tell where it was trying to go. Try this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281169396191

Oh yeah that looks nice. I almost prefer the older vehicles just because they have less to go wrong than these new ones. They look good too. I haven't researched the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland but I could see maybe getting that, doesn't look that bad either. I also never owned a jeep before...

0F or about -17C in Wisconsin this morning. Now its 9F (-12C) and sunny. Vehicle was a little stiff. I don't mind this temperature as long as I don't have to fix anything outside, but if we got more snow it would make it better. Anything under 0F kinda sucks.

I'm curious to hear what you would choose if you couldn't have a trailblazer. I always liked the look of it, and I find it kind of hard to find something appealing to the eye like the trailblazer is. I'm finding that today SUV's or crossovers tend to look more like a minivan and it losses the...
