    Default Uh...do you think it's time to change these?

    I was bleeding my brakes this weekend and found this.

    Is there any special trick to changing these?
    Anything going to unload on me?
    Anything that requires special tools?
    Anything I should change out while I am there?

    Suggestions are much appreciated.

    Mine look the same. No idea how to change them yet, but I ordered a set of 'bones and waiting for them to come.

    What could we expect as improvement after a replacement of those dogones ? What exactly is the purpose of those ? What is a symptom of defective dogbones ?

    they may or may not firm up the rear suspensions movements side to side depending on how worn out they are, they all look like ass

    Just do it - easy and not too expensive. Do a search of the forum for "pitman" or "dog bones" and that should get you the step by step instructions.
