Thanks Adam and the rest of the EF family. Always coming through.

That was my best guess as far as the busted disc. You just never know until you get the dang thing out and take a look inside.

Took a few mins and got the car in the air, and busted the axles loose a few days ago. Just havent gotten back to it yet. It's on Wed night.

That's saying a lot because I had the AD08s on my S2000 and they had fantastic grip. They didn't last very long, though.

My brother is wanting to sell his Tundra in favor of a Land Cruiser. You should PM me with all of the details on it. He's serious about traveling to find one.

I'd really recommend these, I have em on my car and I love them! kinda wish I'd have gotten the smoked version, but no complaints.

Guess these'll wait until the spring when I have money again

Bushings + Ball Joints + Corner Balance + Alignment = $550 out of my wallet

Compared to 750 + I've been quoted elsewhere.....cheap

One place quoted 730

JUST FOR THE BUSHING INSTALL

profunction is kinda THE honda shop in chicago...they are busy, and might take a bit..but they are good mechanics.

tell mike or pat that stupid fat dutch adam jabaay sent you....they'll probably charge you more. haha

its a lot of labor to do all that stuff though..and a shop charging 550 realistically is pretty fair. didnt know you were so close man, i'm right on the south side.

Yeah $550 isn't bad...I was expecting at least $300ish for the corner balance tbh

There are two things I can't stand. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

How often do most of you guys adjust your clutch cable? I feel like I need to turn it once or twice every so often just to get the car easily in gear, otherwise its a hard push and a slight clunk in. Just wondering b.c I dont want to go too tight.
