Worn-out Balls

We picked up the old truck from the shop on Friday. It went in for a few minor things and the suspicion of something major, and indeed, came back to us with new belts, new oil and filter, two sets of upper and lower ball joints, new tie rod ends, a new tire, and an alignment. Ouch. I do have to say though, it does drive about $1100 better than it did before. No more hopping around in random directions, clunking on turns, and squealing in cool weather. Hopefully, it has many more mulch and stone loads to haul, trail maintenance trips to take into the woods, and commutes on salty roads to make.
