    Horseshoes? Lol. Got a question, would that spacer be the same as on what they call "spicer" for the ball joint? Sorry if that is one stupid question.

    I think the more common terminology is "ball joint spacer". Off roaders still use them: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...ntSpacer.shtml

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
