Default Vibration Went Bye Bye

Why didn't you guys tell me the vibration in my steering wheel would go away if I replace all the universal joints. My car is fun again.

P.S. - Got a lot of compliments on the new paint this weekend. I think I'll keep it.

Thats cool... ....and glad to hear it smooths things out.......
I replaced my half shaft joints this week. I used "brute force" brand. I haven't driven it yet, but it can't hurt, can it! Also did a LOT of frame clean up while I was there.

Hey Dean....I am embarressed to say.....it is Rustoleum in the can....called "rust reformer".....upc code 215215.

Dries to a nice satin finish..."claims to kill rust forever"...easier to work with than por15.
It does fine with the TAILPIPE heat, but I'm sure it wouldn't handle much more.
