Hiya Pete,
Need you to cleann out your pm box.
Also what was that stablizer bar you suggested to do when I get the control arm bushings done...you said to be careful of them. I need to tell Ed so I can order parts.

...a mind is a terrible thing to lose.

Yeah guess it is lol. Do you feel like his father at times??
Sometimes I feel like his wife...Pete this, Pete that, Pete did you say something??

But this time is my fault, he told me what I need to do with my car and I was in classes and had a million and five things going on and I forgot what he said

These constant pleas to Pete to clean out his mailbox are getting old. A Supporting Member subscription cost $25 per year and among other things, would allow him to store up to 500 PMs rather than 50. I personally will contribute $10 toward the cost. Who else wants in on this?

I had no idea that it was that inexpensive. I will do it.
The forum has been quite good to me, I should certainly do the right thing
I truly get 20-30 a day(or more) and I hate to delete some of them, if I am helping someone with a problem.

I hope you realize that I was just teasing you. Considering the quality and quantity of the help you give out, we should be buying you a Lifetime Gold Membership...

Absolutely! I knew you were kidding. I try to help out the best I can. Going to do some new stuff to my trans to help the r&d process. Hopefully, I can be better help in 07.

Laurie,
If memory serves the sway bar bushings were the ones that were bad. Both the main bushings and the end link bushings. Ask Ed to size up the rear sway bar with an open end wrench to determine the correct size. It is likely a 22 mm bar, but double check it before ordering.

Thanks Sweetie,
I remember we were looking at the trailering arm and you mentioned the one to do while I was up there. Just forgot exactly what you called it. Did you get your ignition done? Wanted to know if you wanted to ride down with me to e town. I don't want to go by myself...I need an escort (parole officer...keep me out of trouble)
