Re: The Colorado BS thread
Spring has sprung, and it's time for my wife to drive the Honda, rather than the WJ, save a buck on gas. The Honda started making clicking noises when turning, and after looking at and googling, determined the CV joints were bad.
It is a pain to replace the axles on the Honda, but cheaper than the jeep. I began the dissassembly, but ran into a problem disconnecting the swaybar from the lower control arm. Ended up with this, the swaybar link:
The links are little mini balljoints, and you are supposed to be able to hold the stud with the allen key hole in the end of the stud. Not after 200,000 miles. I was lucky though, it only took the driver side axle to eliminate the noise.
