Checking the door drains is something that should almost be done annually. I don't know how shit gets down there but it does. I've had my driver's side door get stopped up twice.
FWIW, our '89 K1500 has 223k+ miles on it's original ball joints....1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

It sounded like a grenade going off when the lower BJs on my 88 C1500 went at 130k. Those old Chevy's are terrible about that.

Funny,
When I had steering stuff replaced I went to get an alignment and with the mileage on it I just assumed all of that trash had been replaced at some point. Guy at alignment shop said the stuff was most likely original from what he saw. Not sure I believed him but what good was it going to do to argue with him? He said the stuff was tight so guess there's that however I see the upper BJ's are dry rotten so it's a matter of time.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

upper ball joints hold up decently, its the lowers you have to worry about. About 120k seems typical.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

If thats what it takes, sure. If they're not loose, leave it the F alone. Prime directive and all. Just make sure you check it once in a while so you don't get surprise suspension disassembly.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

A lot of things used rivets to hold it to the arm. Boxes among them. An air chisel makes short work of it. If the nut is rusted solid to the stud though, thats a different problem.Last edited by gadget73; 04-22-2017, 10:58 AM.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

"Surprise suspension disassembly" haha
I'll keep an eye on it then. The nuts are so rusted they have probably created their own unique size. Will most surely require an air chisel now. Distributer shitted out over the weekend but now at least it's running on all 8 again.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

If the charge is proper, my guess is clogged orifice tube. The drier in mine failed and all of the little bits from it were in the tube. Hopefully its that and not full of black shit. That would mean the compressor is hosed, and you need a full system flush as well.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I have a new tube and high side R134 port to install. Hopefully I can take care of that in the next couple of days, not that I need to but rather want to.

If you're opening it, I'd stick a drier in there too.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
