I reserve the opinion that it just sounds that way, because I don't want to believe they did sell-out, but it sure does sound that way.Īnyway, so the low points are "The Fight for Freedom", "An American Trilogy" and possibly "The March". And the timing and the lyrics themselves just sound like a sell-out. Now if you buy this album now, it may not bother you too much, but this album came out sho rtly after 9/11 and while I was rolling my eyes at all the dozens of seemingly "patriotic" songs that all of a sudden flooded the airwaves in the country and pop genres (like I believe it for a second guys, you were cashing in on the latest fad!!), my favorite band to "NOT" sell-out wrote "The Fight for Freedom". Personally, while the Elvis cover would have probably better belonged on a single, it isn't the one that I feel is Manowars low point, that would be the song "Fight for Freedom". This album didn't disapoint, but there is some headache-inducing filler here as well. Manowar has a very distinct sound and when you buy a Manowar album, certain things are expected. Now, I'll be honest, I review Manowar albums very differently from how I would review other albums. And while in general this is a great album, there are certain songs and elements to this album that drive me up the wall. Jerry Lemond see his posts on 4x4wire Isuzu tech forum.Well, I guess one can expect that when a group like Manowar starts doing Elvis covers there's bound to be some falling out. Louis, MO) (Merlin) He's like Cdan of Isuzu! Is an all makes board, and it has possibly the best isuzu tech forum. You can see my ball joint replacement and c-clip pix there. Here's links to tech tip if you aren't already aware: The C clip sits about 1.5" inboard if I remember correctly. This is a simple fix, buy a new clip (a pair, go ahead and replace the driver and pax side), pull the auto hub and you'll see the splined end of the axleshaft. There's enough play in there that when you hit a pot-hole, it will make a "clunk". If you have OEM auto-locking hubs, it is a good possibility. Given 140k miles, I'd say they are due.Īdditionally, the clunk could be due to a "c" clip coming off the end of the outer axle, inside the auto locking hub of either / both front wheels. If there is evidence of grease splattered on the suspension arms, they're likely shot. Look for cracked seals on the upper and lower ball joints. Turn your wheels fully to the left and inspect the driver side, and then right for the pax side, or vice-versa.
I replaced mine last summer, and though it is a long, dirty task, it isn't difficult.
My '88 Trooper has 182k miles and the OEM sway bar rubber shows it.Īlso, the ball joints are suspect.
Visually inspect the sway bar connections chances are they are worn out and need to be replaced.
