I know what u mean I am hooked and cant stop Bought my car drove it a couple of years stock then it happened :crazy: started with a worn out carpet and just kept goin :D Last summer went to get my car aligned and the guy said he couldn`t do it cause there was too much play in my rear wheels he thought it was the wheel bearing but wasnt too familiar with vets.went home jacked up the rear took out my half shafts to ck for rear bearing play there was none.I found missing shims at the trailing arm.problem solved?just the beginning.might as well change the ta bushings while the half shafts are out heck doin the bushing might as well send the ta to be rebuilt.why stop there let me do the u-joints thats connected to the rear might as well do that also while everything is apart.Well thats what I have ben doin for the past couple of weeks.I hope to finally drive my car this weekend.new exhaust and new rear tires are on the way.I tell people I am almost done ha ha thats a good one.I dont think it will ever end
