A 3" lift will take 33's np without all the need for the extra mods require by a higher lift (adj panhards, could even get away with castor correction).

Power steering leak through reservior??

Got a strange one. Recently had the power steering box recondition in the '89 diesel GQ. About a week later I noticed power steering fluid leaking, but it appears to be coming out of the reservior.

Wheel bearing lock washer question

Hey guys, just doing the wheels bearing on the GQ with the lock nut upgrade (round ones). Just wondering if I keep the lock washer that goes up against the outer bearing, not the one between the old lock nuts (hex ones).

Cheers.
