You do realize that each time you make a fix like this you are going to have to learn the car all over again, right?

Nice work!!
It was horrible feeling in the car man, turn the wheel then wait for the car to change direction.

I am still learning to drive it anyways so not much time lost there =)

At least I am out using it and getting seat time instead of just looking at it in a parking lot or a field at a car show. Dont get me wrong I like a few car shows here and there but would much rather be out using it.

Someone sent me that yesterday. Was pretty awesome to see it on there. Thanks for sharing!!!

When I got over to the passenger side, the nut and bolt were also loose, not as bad as the drivers side but still, not suspension parts tight like it should have been.

I done have any fancy machinery at home but since this isnt a pretty part, it just needed something to allow it to bite into the crossmember I had at it with my hacksaw to give it some teeth.



Performed same treatment on this side, drilled out sleeve to a tight .50" hole, replaced the lower control arm bushings with the superflex black "Race" bushings Used a new .50" bolt, heavy washers, stover nut and lock tite on the bolt.

Took the car out for a quick stroll to see how it was. Most solid the car has felt since its been on the road by a long shot. Curious to see if these stay tight over the weekend if they do I think its problem solved and move on to something else.

Turn one pump showed up last night looks nice, billet pulley is sweet but the pump is not drilled to accept my brackets......so call them and figure out whats up with that.

Now to get some sort of an alignment on the thing before the weekend.
