Plenty of room to push the 944 back and put the Jeep up(side down) for a front-end rebuild. The sag is so bad it's hard to steer. Tightening everything up and threading all the bar ends so I can add nuts. Apparently the one 7/16 die I had (7/16 20) is impossible to find nuts for at Home Depot. Hopefully our local hardware shop will have them tomorrow. Nylocks would be great.

He's inspecting the wheel for damage. Safety first!

Power Wheels should make some parts easy to service by kids. Easy upgrades also.

I always go to the local hardware first. If they do not have it, HD will not have it. Next stop is fastener supply store.

See, wheel's out of alignment. It's also making a horrible grinding noise, so I'll have to swap out the bearing, and I may as well do both front wheels. It's going to be $300 for parts and $600 for labor.

Yeah, but they're not open Sundays, so had to hit HD first.
