Where was that bolt from? Did you guys figure that out?

LOL--don't you just love road trips---I blew the L/R shock, broke off the return line fitting on the A/C, and found out the window seal problem is much worse than I thought---I can just now hear again.

Ain't that the truth. I couldn't wait to drive my Mustang because it's so damn quite compared to the Camaro

We haven't gotten to the bottom of the problem quite yet. As for the bolt, We're pretty sure it came from the power steering pulley. It threaded back in there, and noise the car was making before stopped. Today we put the rear bar on the car, which probably would have helped on the autocross, and then pulled the right axle because I noticed it was leaking a ton of fluid all over the brake and into the wheel. Everything looked good, so we just replaced the seal. I imagine that's why I'd have to pump the brakes once after the long stretches on the way back. Then we found two more bolts that had backed off, one on the spring pocket, and the other for an exhaust bracket. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't need a new windshield after all the debris that fell off of our car, lol.

The good news is that I did get to sit in the car and turn the steering while on the lift at the end of the day. Something is screwed up, and likely in the rack. When you turn the wheel quickly to the right it pulsates and feels notchy. Chris was watching outside the car, and said it translated to the wheels. It doesn't happen turning to the left though.

I guess we'll know more tomorrow...
