**Update**
Painted the disc brakes today with engine enamel, which is what I was told to use, everything is black axceot the calipers are the engine orange, didn't have enough black and it adds piz-as.
Oh yeah how can I get spray paint off my asphault drive way? There's not alot but enough to piss off my dad, I think brake cleaner and a pressure washer :shruggy:
But I have no idea how it go on there :angel: I would never paint anything on my driveway :naughty:

Thanks :cheers:
I have another question, I need a new phone, I smashed the screen of mine, whoops, I can only read half the screen, which is anoying sometimes.
I have verizon which has very crappy customer service but good service, I have a $50 discount because my contract is up :D, I was looking at the blackberry storm but I think I'll break it, which would suck and I can only do it 2 times a year, I also liked the military phone, they had a guy run his over with his dually and it still worked, and it water proof! But its $250 and the storm is $200 (not counting my discount) any suggestions? I know I wont use everything on the storm but I wont use eveything on most phones.
Let it alone^.

THIS probablty isn't the place to talk about new phones.  Start a new thread in off topic.  :2thumbs:

Seems high. I paid about 275$ for all my ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, adjusting sleeves, control arm bushings, and pitman and idler arm.

The70RT

I just sold a pair of new TRW upper ball joints on eBay for 20 bucks. Most auto parts stores want 70ea. for the lowers. Go to Rock Auto and you can't beat the prices for Moog price  :2thumbs:

If I had $500 I would, but I dont, all I need is the ball joints and maby some new bushings, everything else is new or good enough for a few years, quote from before "dont fix it if it aint broke" :icon_smile_big: But those arent too hard to do.
I'm going to go cut ome metal off the charger with a fast grinder and no measurement  :D its all rusted it doesn't matter.
