Pulled the front brakes apart to service them (routine maintenance, and it is why I get 5+ years to my rotors and pads
2.5 years to date on hardware pictured)
ughhh.... I found that the hard hitting right strut may have been blown, at the very least it blew my bump stop to pieces. It is a gas strut.. so I don't see where this oily fluid came from?
I also found out that I have cracked my exhaust at a weld from this past long weekends camping trip, and subsequent off road trail to get to the destination..
Sadness. With all this extra BS I gotta do, the AWIC has been back burner-ed for an even longer period of time
which is totally non-heinous! On top of that I need to pull my passenger tie-rod and put in a new steering rack bushing, as I can hear the rack flopping around in there.. move it by hand too.
