Started an arm joint rebuild on the rear upper arms. Pretty worn out. No grease was getting into the ball and bushings. It’s a Teraflex long arm set up. Had to make my own bushing compressor.
The saga continues.....
The bumpstops are corroded/rusted in. I did prevail though
EDIT: Passenger side was even better. The bottom popped off and the pipe wrench collapsed it enough that it stopped moving, the top cap locked up too, that was were I put cold water to shrink it. Had to drill 1" holes across the bottom and use a 4' pry bar to move it back and forth. Puppy's were really froze up.

I swapped out my OEM clock spring because I was getting codes P0581 Speed Control Switch 1 Circuit High, P0579 Speed Control Switch 1 Performance, & P0591 Speed Control Switch 2 Performance. The cruise control would go off after a short period of time or when I turned the steering wheel. So far it has corrected the issue.
Hardest part was getting the steering wheel off.

Forge the way! My clock spring is about 5 projects away. How did you get the steering wheel of?
I rented a steering wheel puller from O'Reilly's. However, the soft aluminum on the wheel let one of the pullers pull through. I took a rubber mallet and smacked the back of the wheel with one hand while pulling with the other. IF you do it this way, leave the bolt threaded in so you keep your teeth

Swapped the wimpy factory horn for the PIAA 85110 dual tone set up. The second horn wouldn't fit in the same area as the OEM, so I moved it off to the side.
