Today my car gets a new water pump, timing belt and head gasket. Thanks to my super son! Hope that fixes the problem for awhile.

 

yes I greased them like hell with that stuff from energy suspension, formula 5 prelube.

You know how the rear camber arms mount to the inner body and to the trailing arms? Well when you tightened the nuts down after getting the correct lenght, the end part that seats in the trailing arm would slightly twist. So whenever the camber arm has to move, it would bind the bushings on both ends. The little metal bushing inside didn't really help keep the bushing straight inside the trailing arm either.

Plus the rings that hold the bushings on the end that mounts towards the inner body seemed to be coming loose, so more dirt/grime would get caught in them. I greased these arms twice already and the problem kept coming back.

The front camber arms and rear lower control arms, all sway bar bushings are quiet and they were greased once.

The buddy club camber kit with rubber bushings seat perfectly in the trailing arms and if you need to tighten them, nothing twists.

 

Used a pressure washer at its lowest setting to get the stuck on lovebugs off the front of my car.

The swamp betwwen here and Melbourne looks like a bad parody of an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

 

installed tints on back 3 windows, washed, waxed,

 

found out that my tire that had a nail in it acutally has 2 cracks on the rim so now im looking for cheap rims, also purchased a new crankshaft sensor going in tommorow

 

I got new control arms,oil pan,head cover gasket,valve cover, torqued down the head the right way,added the MISSING 2 engine mount bolts, advanced the timing a bit and i NEED to wash it lol.

 

I finally got my new drive axles installed. No more grinding. Yay!!!

 

installed new "used" power steering pump.. original was bent in an accident and squealed non stop.. replaced and no squeal! wooot

 

My battery died on us 19 and i pushed it 3/4 of a mile in the slow lane lol. Sooo I had to rig the **** out of my alternator belt set-up. Moved it further away to make the belt that was too big fit. Just so i can get the right size today. Also i realized my timing belt does not have a cover (trying to remember if it was there be 4 the mechanic played with it)..so thats going on in a few hours.

 

I gave her a big hug because I finally got her back all fixed. Thanks to my wonderful son, Jay!
