It can be pretty nice driving 15 miles to the nearest food store and seeing maybe 1 or 2 cars. I like the quiet and critters running around. Never got a hard time from a little critter. Just the way I like it and its getting to be harder to find as time goes on.

Okay, I'm just about ready to pull the trigger and get this job going. I have all the parts, MOOG Upper control arm, lower ball joints, all the tools for the job. Here is my concern, when I replace the upper control arm, how do I know how to position it so that the camber is in the ball park? If I were just able to replace the ball joint in the control arm, I could mark the arm. What can I do in this case?

The control arm bolts are on an eccentric, as you turn them they adjust the camber. If you mark the position of the eccentrics before you remove them and position them in the same place you should be good to go.
