Thanks Zip, we did that before we tightened everything, used the original bolts. Upon removal, we saw that the rubber bushing portion was ready to fall out. The repair, both sides took about three hours...97 degree heat. She rides nice, no alignment problems detected. I think she is ready for a road trip to Georgia now.
~.update...But Alas, now a pothole has bent the rim a little inside...and took it to have it aligned and guess what? Now supposedly only the camber kit will put it back to specs. This should be fun. I have the printout of before and after specs for the alignment, but not in front of me. I'll have the rim repaired down in Orlando and then begin the camber kit procedure in a couple of weeks...Drats!...this takes away from the "Grin Factor" immensely.
