Any a jet wash today and all is good again :)

A good day was had by all except I almost killed my Jimny :unsure: Went through a rather large puddle and was lucky I didn't take it enough water to hydrolock the engine.

Be careful jet washing a radiator as it can bend the fins and cause more overheating problems
You're best using just a hose pipe an no pressure

You only need the bearings and an axle oil seal, they are fairly cheap. The kingpins very rarely wear, despite what Suzuki would have you believe.

(And there are 4 ball joints but only 2 are track rod ends, as there is only one track rod, the other is a drag link/rod ;) but the joints still fit)
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
