Replacing the upper and lower ball joint, shock absorber and the center post

Good day steemit friends! Its Sunday today and its supposed to be my rest day but its not, i have to assist our mechanics men Mang Tomas and his son who will assemble all the replaced loose parts of our delivery truck.

Since yesterday, i visited Mang Tomas shop to check the condition of our delivery closed van L300, its under repair for a week now.

Then we went to nearby auto parts supply to buy the replacement parts of our truck. But while on our way to the shop, we witnessed a road accident.

The man wearing green shirt (lying on the pavement) was hit on his left knee by a speeding motorcyle. The impact throws the man in air (4 feet) and landed on his left side body. We immediately run towards the victim, he is concious but we dont move him, and we advised him not to make movement, it may cause more damage on his leg and knee.

Moments later, rescue team arrived and take the victim to the nearest hospital.

After that, we proceed to the auto parts supply.

The first shop dont have the other stocks we needed, we only bought the break pads cost P1,650.

This shop have the parts we need to buy, got the new parts with a receipt, new parts cost P10,500.

Time to assemble the new parts to the truck.

Mang Tomas and his son started to work here, they carefully figuring out the best way of what they will do assembling the replacement parts.

I hope you enjoy your time visiting my post about on repairing and replacing truck parts, its really a hardwork for mechanics specially if they dont have power tools equipments, our mechanics usually worked using manually with their strength and some tools they personally made.

Thank you steemit friends for your precious time! Until my next post see you soon!
