• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Yeah everyone says so.

I ordered my rear suspension stuff a few days ago and thought my rear sway bar links would be okay at 113k since they're a ball and socket style. I went out to check just now and nope, the left one has a little play on the top joint. So I ordered 2 of them, they're pricey. Almost $20 per link by moog.

Wait til you see the difference in size. You'll ask yourself why you didn't switch them out sooner.

Well if I got a whole new trunk lid it would have to be local. Just the spoilers on ebay are selling for a decent price. And whatever route I go it will have to be painted.

Edit: http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/pts/4491664010.html

ebay spoiler was $150, whole trunk $180. Of course I'll make sure a gp trunk lid will fit in a gp trunk..I think so.

you can just see the handle of my breaker bar in the lower right, lol all by hand. it popped free real easy this time around.

ive not need to pound one out yet. this one took a few good taps on each side and it fell off. but then again, i just installed this one a year ago. and its a timken. thanks china.
 
its swapped already under warranty. and it seems timken suck now, one is good still this one, not such good luck, i blame china parts.

like i said i put this in last april, and now its shot. so if you buy local, you take it off, walk into the store, hand them the old one, they hand to a new one. you walk out with a smile. :th_thumbsup-wink:

funny thing, ive only bought one hub. replaced the right front. then the d/s went bad, so i used the other sides warranty to replace the left side, now im warrantying the free one lol 3 hubs for one, and i still got a year left on the warranty. more mayhem to come? tune in later lol
 
Do they send you a pre a paid label to send it back or just send you a new one. And whats the turn around time on ths2t process

whole job took just over a hour, with driving to the store to replace it. no labels. i bought it local at autozone. they hand you a new one on the spot.

this is why i buy hubs local. i cant lay my car up waiting for parts to come.
 
I think when I do mine I might just get one from Napa so like you said if I need to do it again I dont need to wait weeks for it to go through the rma process.
