Yes, that is gear oil on the ground. I got the fronts done though which is nice.
At least the coilover part was easy so far. I’m probably going to have to undo the one that leaked out my gear oil since I gotta push the axel back in. But hey I guess I’m replacing my gear oil tomorrow too which is neat!
Will continue in the AM with the rears since it got dark and I’m in no particular rush. The bottom mount bolts were a bitch on the one side to remove. I used a 10 foot pole to break the one bolt loose but it went fine after that. So far so good. Will see how out of whack my camber is after I put the rears in and put it on the ground for height check.
Alignment is getting done no matter what though. Take a gander at the inside edge of the tire. All four are like that, at least it’s consistent. Outer edge are trashed evenly and the center is down to the wear bar. Not perfectly worn but I don’t think anything is broken aside from the alignment specs.
