[T3] front end woes

[Keith Park]

DONT replace stuff that doesnt need to be, the aftermarket replacements are
never as good as the original and often crap.  OEM ball joints will go 200K
mi. and some of the aftermarket tie rod ends have gone in 10K mi on me.

Lloyd came over today and we jacked it up.  Turns out the steering box is
shot.  He showed me how the thing at the bottom is leaking all its grease
and moving in a way it shouldn't.  The ball joints are all OK, but we are
going to replace everything, since it is all original.
