well i was having some grinding/popping problems for a while now...
i knew the CV was bad, and had always thought it was a bit short, but couldnt find the receipt... so i got a new one somewhere else..
the new one, (im thinking also the RIGHT one.. is almost 2inches longer..)
so after i replaced that, the car was ok.. but it still had some grinding... and over the weekend, it got waaay worse.. and REALLY dangerous to drive... the car would just kinda pick a direction randomly..
so i snagged a new hub assembly as well
once i took off the axle nut, the old one literally fell apart all over the floor.. looked like this
it was bad..i had .5 inces of movement at the bearing with it on the car!!! thats a helluvalotta travel!
cleaned it all up
nice and new
on! (dont worry i did realize the brake sheild was off, took the hub back off, and put the sheild on.. just no pic)
wow it the ride SOOO much nicer now!! a WORLD of difference!! im so looking forward to DAYTONA!!!
and i need to update my sig!!

Hey Babadoo,
Are those the vent covers from silver 85 sc? How do you like them? Do they have a brushed finish, it's hard to tell from the pics?[This message has been edited by FieroVin (edited 02-29-2008).]

soo... anyone got one?
washed her before school to rid her of the salt plague.. WOW ..
did some more work today...
did the 2nd tranny line
not the bestest, but a HELL of a lot better than they were.
replaced this in hopes of ridding my baby of the code 32....
it has some wired washer thing that makes it universal..
YAY its on!! no more code 32.... right ?
wrong  IDIOT light popped on still... car definately ran better with snappier response.. but im not sure where the problem is..
on another note.. i think i may swap my 4.5 into Betty sometime late this summer.. but my teacher thinks i should do something else.. id like a peppy 6cyl honestly... with a nice 4spd auto tranny.. but thats not even being started till april..
