Okay I bought steering rack spacers, and a ottp H/E.

I didnt feel like figureing it out myself. So I took it to a shop.

Tomorrow is the FOURTH day they have had it.
Left a message today, it might not even be done by then.

Anyone else think this is insane?

 

ooops. sorry for u

 

damn man. sorry to hear that. both items should not take more than 2 hours to install. dont let them rip you off

 

^ Its insane, If i didnt have headache problems id figure this stuff out.

Thought this would be easier, now im getting more headaches from the stress of having to use other peoples cars.

 

Thats crazy. I had steering rack spacers put in along with Pedders springs and SS/TC shocks and struts and my garage did it all in about 5 hours. They said the steering rack spacers didn't fit perfectly and they had to make some modifications. But the install looks perfect and clean. Maybe they fucked something up and had to get some parts. Four days it really strange....Cover up?

 

test drive!

 

^ Please dont say that, lol. I was talking to my girlfriend about that today.
Also, just saw those videos someone posted about people doing that.

 

So that was your cobalt on the news? lol

 

nooo.

Wait.

Then again, they have had it long enough to paint it blue, and repaint it yellow.

 

Thats rediculous the amount of time they had it.
However, why do you take your car to a garage if your gonna install cooling/suspension upgrades? Dont wanna get anyone mad, but if you want to mechanically mod your car, it would make sense you do it yourself.

 

I get really bad headaches, i havent figured out the problem yet. When ever i try to focus on things and figure them out in depth, like adding stuff to my car that I havent done before. I get a crushing headache.

Im in college, so that makes it hard enough, its literally almost everyday. And on the days I dont go to school, I just try to relax.

 

uhm dude I'd seriously be like *** u and u I want my car and my keys now, and im not paying thats rediculous, I couldnt stand for **** like that, I seriously would be thinking crazy thoughts like them driving my car and ****** **** up just to take a joy ride, or just fuking it up period lol, I dont let them drive my car for nothing, when I get new tires mounted I take the rims into the shop and mount when I get home, they dont touch my baby. whew out of breath lmao, good luck to you.

 

dang man that sucks! hopefully you eventually get to the root of that.

 

Yep. I hope so.

Somedays, believe it or not, I can wake up, and within 45mins have a headache.
Even when I havent really done anything.

anyways.

off topic.

haha

I have taken it in to this guy once before.

Had decals off, painted stripes, and lowering springs.

Ready for this?

over 3 weeks.

 

man id be renting a car and having them pay for it after that...

 

Family friends shop, id never hear the end of it.

 

I'd get an MRI if I were you.

 

I would walk in there and kick them in the dick... I did 4 springs on my car in 45 minutes!

Helps having the right tools!

 

Ive been to a doctor, just gave me some med that worked for a little while.
Im prob gonna go back soon.

 

sucks aboot the headaches man, i agree about the mri for sure

and it doesnt matter if its your friends garage, theyre slow as fukk and you shouldnt use them if you like driving lol

did you write down your mileage before you dropped it off??

 

I have before, everything seemed okay though. I really wish I would have this time, the whole thing seems weird to me, my girlfriend as well.

She has taken her car to him for body/paint work twice, and its been ready on time.
Mine is late everytime. For stupid reasons.

This time he said, they cant figure out where to mount the h/e.
Are you serious, I didnt even return the message.

If it isnt ready friday, I'm picking it up.

Im driving a 94 paseo right now. I dont think he understands how hard that is when you drive a cobalt ss daily.

 

Go in there and talk to them in person and tell them you need to get something out of your car so oyu cann see for yourself whats really going on. thats what i did, I took my car to a shop to have my clutch installed and after 2 weeks it still wasnt done and i really had no real answers on why not so i just drove to the shop and walked back by the lift and was like ok so why isnt this thing done yet? And i found out that they broke a clutch line and had been waiting for one from the local dealer the whole time. I felt a lot better just knowing what was going on and seeing the car so i knew they wernt covering anything up

 

The guy that runs the shop, I trust, but the guys that do the work, I dont even know them.
I notice everyone with a cobalt doesnt let anyone drive, or hardly ever leaves it far out of sight.

I'm the same way, and im prob going to do what you just said tomorrow.

 

what do steering rack spacers do?

 

Helps bump steer.

When the car hits a bump.

They raise the steering rack to the same height as the outer tie rod ends.
