3 of the 4 wranglers were past their sell by date so it was a good thing to have the 4 Pirelli's in the boot.
did not try the diy jack method (although greatly appreciated) but for a tenner a piece, fitting & balanced, could not be bothered.
only 2 advisory notes :
1) slight vertical wear in all 4 front suspension ball joints
2) slight wear in steering drop arm ball joint.
any comments on this by the techies ? because this will probably become an issue for next years' round.
So new shoes, new oils & filters....it just feels a bit smoother...tighter...better...driving home......(or is it just me?)
Might be snowing again tomorro......bring it on !!!

Lets face it, you probably have such a "fist full of dosh" waiting to be spent it's not gonna hurt too much is it
More realisticly - pound the bastards until next year and see if Mr. MOT passes them again, if not, get them done then!
Or from another point of view:
Why spend the money on a Jeep with Mother's Day round the corner - got to think of priorities here havent we? (Laundry v LSD - no contest is it).

some ball joints have a dectable amount of lift when new ...they get advised on or failed but are perfectly servicable
unless there is any side play or the lift becomes exesive
mecedes sprinter is a fine example of this
