Jerry,
Thanks.
I guess I should mentioned that procedure too.
What I was after was a visual indication as on some other vehicles where if the bottom of the joint has collapsed a certain amount wear was indicated.
These (lowers) appear flat across the bottom.
We rebuilt the front end several years ago, and I didn't make note of their position then.
Of course I will do what you mentioned, I was just looking for another point of reference/verification.
Thanks again.
Love this site !
Mike
