A-Frames?
99 4.0 4x4
I had my wheels off the other day replacing the brakes, and i remembered that my upper A-Frames are different, ill get some pictures.. but until then if anyone can visualize this, or w/e that would be great..
On my truck, the upper a-frame (propper name) where the Upper Ball joint is behind the wheels, has a different design on the driver side then on the passenger side...
as i said ill get pics 2nite, but does anyone know if this is supposed to be like this? it drives fine....
