He's already sleeping it off.

What's taking you so long on that Ford? :P

the upper arms were so shot that the bushings have made an oval out the screw holes so now a little welding is taking place . . . the owner didn't know why the car was not 'taking' aligment now he knows . .  this is moving back delivery to Tuesday . . .so a $420 job just turned into a $950 job . . . the 'parts changer' before me seems was only interested in 'in with the job and money/otu with car' . . .

Was the parts replacer also doing the alignments?

seems so . . . how, me dunno . . . rods, were also shot . .. according to owner he replaced the upper arms and lower balls joints 9 months ago  . .. he says that boat hauling and bad roads . . . i took pics and sent to him . ..  those parts were never changed . .  never seen an aftermarket replacemnet with a Ford brand logo stamped on it and OEM numbers too !!

Had a great time with Skylar, my second cousin, here in Oakland. Headed home in the morning. I even rowd this morning. Crew is something I miss.
