Sunday 8/26 - Thumper Complete!
Completed the alignment w/Robert's alignment tool |
Camber settings checked. For Caster, turn the wheel 15 degrees |
We drove Thumper to the gas station, checked the alignment feel, and put 7 gallons in. |
We added grease to the end of the Power Steering control valve. |
Replaced the end cap. |
All set. |
We took out again, for another test drive. Got it hot, brought it home. Double checked that all 4 Knock-off's were tight. |
Double checked the automatic transmission fluid. All fluids are topped off and good-to-go! No Leaks. |

Wheels re-balanced, re-mounted, and Inventory of Vince's parts...
Jerry & I picked up the wheels from Skip's Tire |
Let's get those wheels on! |
Done deal! |
How many jacks & stands does it take to have all 4 wheels off the ground? Lots. |
These guys came through. The slow leak on the driver's front, was turned into the spare. They removed that tire, replaced the valve stem and resealed the tire bead. |
