    Default pics of my dogbones

    don't think they have been replaced in 215,000 kms. I'll replace them soon.

    Mine looked like that, as well. Pretty nasty, eh?

    The perplexing one, for me, was the pass side. I ended up disconnecting the trailing link, or whatever it's called, to get it all back together.

    Good luck!

    Default Mine were not that bad-but

    It made a difference when I replaced them. I had previously installed Brunos sub frame inserts. IMO, both combined took care of most/all the rear steer. However, I still have a bit of wander I need to work on this spring.
