So it's a bent wheel. Moved tires one side at a time and it went away. Kinda feel it in my seat now.

Anyone cruising tonight?

Sway Bar is a more Complicated job when you strip the bolt. Fml

When it rains it pours...

Rear brakes wouldn't stop making noise. Battery warning light came on, drove to my girlfriend's place, slowly died while parked so I shut it off. Battery is flat.

Sounds like the alternator is shot if the battery died with the car running.

Went and took a look after I calmed down. Serpentine belt snapped.

Got it all fixed up. Took 2 trips to Parts Source, to return the rented tool that didn't work.

Bought a tensioner release tool and clip tool at PA. Wrench didn't fit with the adapter. Could just get the adapter in on it's own. Went back to PA and bought two wrenches. One that fit the adapter and used the 2 wrench technique. Had the belt on in 20 seconds.

Went back and returned everything no questions asked.

Starting to think I got some air into my abs unit when bleeding my caliper the other day. Fluid level dropped way quicker than I thought it would.
Now to find a tech 2 for an abs bleed procedure.

Car just doesn't have the braking force it used to.

Dropped my fuel tank to put my new pump in. Well the sending line fitting on the top of the fuel pump assembly snapped off like butter dropping the tank. Soooooo now I need to get my hands on an all new fuel pump assembly. FML.

Play it by ear. Roll around till I get bored. Then throw pistons and rods in it so I can put the turbo to good use.

Ya I can't see that being fun lol. Did it Atleast fix your clunking issue?

yellow dragon

iTrader: (1)

Ya I believe it has for the most part any ways. The damn thing makes so many noises lol. Took just under 4 hours.

I wonder if mine are effed too. I also have a clunk. Would it clunk when you moved the steering wheel and as soon as it loads pressure it would make the noise?

yellow dragon

Yes. and bumps. Bushings cost like 10$ but it is not a fun time doing it. Should do sway bar end links at the same time.

Was the difficulty because the bracket bolts wouldn't come off or because it's tight in there?

The rear bracket bolts are a bitch they are a 10 mm bolt that is inside the sub frame with a 15 mm nut on top of the sub frame but under a double layer of sheet metal that doesn't have room to put a socket of a box end wrench on need to use an open end wrench. the 10 mm side stripped on me so I slammed on a smaller socket and I ended up shaving a 15mm box end wrench on an angle and trying to bend as much of the metal flange as possible. also there are brake lines on the driver side that limit your access even more. Its designed that you should drop the sub frame. Fookin stupid.
