Well one of my Donaho adjustable racing coilovers has finally blown it's seals, I bought them about 7 years ago and they have been a pleasure to drive on the entire time. I will contact ICON and see if I can send them in to have them rebuilt, this would be considerably cheaper then buying a new pair. My truck has 165,000 miles on it and I put the DR coilovers on it at 75,000 miles. I have kept them adjusted to 2.5” the entire time.
I figured that while I ‘m waiting for the strut to be reworked by ICON (assuming they will work on a DR strut) I'll replace the LCA & UCA Bushings, and ball joints. A few years ago I attempted to change out the UCA & LCA bushings with daystar poly bushings but; because, I was also doing the stabilizer bushings and the steering rack bushings the same day, I was only able to replace the UCA bushings before I ran out of time. I'm actually glad I didn't put the Daystar Poly Bushings in the LCA because, after a year the upper bushings started having a real annoying squeak that drives me nuts. So my question is, when I'm shopping for ball joints do you guys think it is better to go OEM or should I consider Moog or Raybestos replacements?
For Anyone who is intrested I'll keep you posted on ICON's responce to my rebuild question.....
