    Dumb dumb strikes again. I was able to move/force them by hand. Never thought about LUBRICATION!!!! One of the ball sockets had a torn gasket/shield/protective thingy. Water had infiltrated that. Just needed to pop it off and lube it up. Best part was I am parked over a mud hole and that gasket fell right in.

    Keep it simple stupid. Every now and again I look over the simple stuff.

    I cannot open that other than a picture. How much and how has it been driven?

    Stick your finger in that blow by tube and see if there is water droplets.

    So you're losing coolant too? You've got issues then. Need to pull the pan and pressurize the cooling system. See where the coolant is coming from
