Replaced the bushes in the rear sway bar - they were old and got badly chewed up on my last off road trip.
I also drained the swivel housing oil on the passenger side which has had an increasingly annoying leak. I replaced the oil with a one shot grease.
The surface of the swivel housing is marked/pitted in one spot....so if the thicker grease does not reduce the leak significantly..I guess it is time for new swivel housings etc.
At least if I want to continue doing remote trips with the now close to 350k girl....which I do, at least for a while.
While doing these jobs I noticed a few drops of coolant on the floor...a quick look and here is my next job..new water-pump required.
I put the pump on in 2010 about 150000k ago..so that is reasonable I suppose.
Noticed that one of the rear trailing arm bolts was almost finger loose..that was going to end in tears..so all in all..a well spent couple of hours.
