I wanted to say thanks for the stickey.
I did 1/2 of this install yesterday in about 2.5 hours, including installing some dynamic wheel balancers, inspecting wheel bearings, and removing tire weights.
It was a very easy install, the bushings pressed right in with a 4" "C" clamp after sitting in the freezer for a few hours.
I opted to remove the zerk from the wet bolts for installation and it made it much easier than trying to work around them.
I was expecting my ride height to be slightly lower, but it looks level with the drivers side still on the OE AL-KO setup.
Speaking of the AL-KO setup I have 7K miles on my TT and 2 of the bushings where nearly worn thru, so I am glad I did this.
I also will need to go a major wheel bearing service/upgrade before my next big trip. They looked fine, but the grease was worse than expected and the bearings look cheap.
