    Dangerous Situation Today With My M1009

    1. Harbor Freight or Northern should have one. A steady hand is the big issue ($20) 2. Same as above ($5) 3. You can use a NEW bearing race as a guide along with a set of feeler gauges or if you don't have those a business card ($8) Most of the above is easy to find/purchase. I don't think...

    Dangerous Situation Today With My M1009

    The knuckle should be fine. I've seen them break/get destroyed, but usually only after the rest of the axle is toast. You might want to check the ball joints too. You have a Dana 44 under your 1009?? A new axle might be the way to go depending on how shot everything is. I would seriously...

    M1009 rear window handle.

    Service the other side if possible Replace if necessary or worn. No reason to spend money if you don't need to. I can't answer the brake question. Depends on a bunch of factors, when they were last serviced, wear, rust, warping, etc. Check belts, hoses, tie rod ends, u-joints, buy new...
