You bet... I think a lot of people benefitted from it. From what I've gathered, the MC issues are not found on the FL1A. Kind of weird, like it's a different supplier.

The HD optimization also defrags, Bill. I also have it set to auto optimize once a week. So I think it's just taken one too many lumps. It's a 2TB drive, and WD doesn't make a 2.5 Black HDD. I went with Blue, which is the "meh" series of WD. I'd take a WD Blue over anything Seagate makes though.

It took a minute to drag myself outside tonight. Only gave myself an hour of sunlight... but the drivers side is done. Moog Problem Solvers are in!

Quick survey... the inner comes with no zerk. The outer has a zerk, but appears to be pregreased. Never had one look like it had this much in it before. Are these supposed to get greased?

Outers yes; inners, no. Moog recommends Lucas Marine, 3 pumps every oil change.

Inner moves less, is more protected. Outer looks fine.

So it's good until the next oil change? Or 3 pumps now? Thanks CO.

It also appears my truck has had 14mm wheels this whole damn time.



EDIT: Another pic....

Both. I have two PDFs from Moog but they won't attach for some reason.
