    Thumbs up IFS Heavy Duty tie rods & misc. installed

    The Independent 4x IFS HD Tie Rod - What a beast! Fairly easy to install too.
    Painted them and added the Energy Suspension tie rod boots for more colour. (9.13101R) The octogon style wasn't available, or too long of a delivery...

    It's a team of three; you, the helper, and penetrating oil...



    While I was at it, did the ball joint flip (shown in above) and replaced the upper bump stop with the Energy Suspension lower profile Poly Bump (9.9102R).

    Compared to stock:


    In place:


    www.planetisuzoo.com was awsome for the how-to's ! As well as some posts on this site.

    Now onto the ES poly sway bar bushings...

    Thanks! I didn't plan on a write up since planetisuzoo does such a sweet job...

    I'm pretty sure that Kenny's sway bar came from "rattle can inc." (red division)

    If ya like what he's done with the sway bar, you should see his rear rotor/ drum/ caliper...pure artistry...pics Ken ?
    Yes, I like red paint... Thanks Larry, but you started me on the painting stuff - here ya go:



    Pretty soon there'll be enough lipstick on her to call her "Mimi".
