you say that like a person who's used to getting free rides

on one hand, yes I could resurface the rotors, and buy new pads, but on the other hand, I can spend absolutely nothing, and get it fixed...
umm, yeah, I'm going with the cheaper route on this one.

Ya but I thought that since the cruise is coming up, you would try to get it fixed beforehand. But I guess if it's free I would go that route too. But since mine wasn't, I decided to get it done sooner, rather than later

Well my summer vehicle thinks it's time to let the fat lady sing. Got a really loud tick/knock that keeps pace with the rpms til the exhaust drowns it out. Hopefully I make it back to Calgary tomorrow. Maybe my T/A will start after 6 years in the trees! Lol

Jon if its brakes it wont be covered by warranty most likely as it sounds like lots of people dont have much luck getting that covered. ( just from peoples posts)

good to hear. well for anyone on here that needs a garage and some help feel free to ask to come up to my house if you need a garage for the work. I dont mind helping out and if something goes wrong we can leave it in garage for night.

Mark did you end up buying out your car

i would just wait till end of month and we can do your springs at same time man, no use in taking out everything 2 times as its just worse to take things apart multiple times( you have to drop shocks to get rear springs out.) Come over after i pick up your springs ( 1st weekend in June) and we will install one night ( it will take us about 2 hours to do struts and rear)

that worked when I had three, or even (for a time) four insured... but of late, I only have two current plates.

I have three pairs of cars;
Two Firebird's
Two Grand Am's
Two Cobalt's

But truthfully I'm starting to think about just taking this cobalt apart... since I don't have, or even have access to a techII, I can't get it running, and dead weight in my garage is becoming tiring.

I know. But you said this cobalt so my first guess was your LNF.
