John, thank you so very much for the help!

How is that parts order coming?

How would it be different than the prior tests? Want to do it the way you expect.

I am not talking about the guide rods, but the mounts. The driver's side clicks most of the time driving, and clunks every time braking, especially hard stops. Also rough roads cause clunking.

Getting no real significant temperature reading; about 10 percent warmer on the driver's side. Remember, brake steer is to the right, not the left as you might try to say.
