Screwed up parts databases?

[u2slow]

I guess my strategy is to stay ahead of it and have the parts well before I need them.

Depending on how the part is fitted for the zerk, it may be possible to re-tap it for a larger threaded one.

Yeah but I'd rather just warranty it, since I didn't even install it yet. If the next one has the same zerk, I guess I'll just be more careful screwing it in. The other two had zerks with 7mm hex (7mm 1/4" drive socket on a hand driver) and they went in fine, and that one was 8mm and stripped.

The saga continues! ....

I took back the tie rod with the stripped zerk and the clerk yesterday ordered the more expensive brand (Precision) and the clerk today did an equal exchange.


I decided to open the kinda beat up and taped up box before I went out the door ... and it's missing the zerk and cotter pin.

Soooooo, they placed an order for another Precision, and will take the zerk and pin out from the replacement and give that to me tomorrow. Like that makes any sense instead of just swapping out the whole box/part, but whatever.

I'm getting kinda sick of this now.

Finally done. The zerk went in much better and didn't strip out.

Got the 3 ends with zerks greased up. One was partly full filled from the factory

I went ahead and greased the king pins and driveshaft u-joints too while I was all grimy.

Oh and engine oil change.

I should be all done underneath now for a while.
