What are one-ton tie-tod ends?

FWIW I have had a good run out of Mevotech joints. I have also had bad runs out of Moog and Doorman.

Tie-rod ends off large US pick-ups.

I still need to take apart one of the Moog joints that failed.

Well, there goes my Saturday!

I had play in my RH rear wheel bearing and replaced it just 6,000km ago. At earlier the time I thought it odd because the bearing was not that old, 20,000km. I only use Timken so they should last longer. The last time I replaced it I also replaced the retaining plate with a genuine Mopar one in case that was the problem.

Now the play is back. It is axial play. This time, rather than replacing the bearing/seal I took a close look under a magnifying glass. There is nothing wrong with it. I measured the axial float and got 1.2mm (!!!)

What I did this time is added five x 0.25mm shims in the axle housing behind the stationary race: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/22432641...r=523415118129

It seems to be okay for now. I have read this is a reasonably common issue, so posting this to help others.

I had a spare fuse box laying around for almost 3 years so I took it apart and then took apart mine to add fuses for accessories (onboard air, led lights, winch remote).

I still have 3 large spare fuses, 2 small spares but no more spare relays because of the headlight setup.
