I went and got new calipers all around last night, One caliper in the front and one in the back had a small wet spot on them so what the heck. Josh and I repainted the new ones . Here you can see the new shocks, rotors and calipers, all set to bleed the lines as soon as we put the pads in . I have a vacume hand pump to help "bleed" the lines. I also have been talking to a few people about the trailing arms, seems they may be ok. two differnt people tell me the problem sounds like the stub shaft going into the rear end is worn out. Hmm maybe that 4:11 will be gone sooner than I wanted.
