It took over an hour to get each bolt loose from the dang bushings because of the stupid wi rust.... I had to cut the lateral links up to the the bolts out. The lateral links were rusty anyways, but I think I would have been able to reuse them had I not cut them....
    i would have told that dude to suck it.

    Thats about how i felt when i tried to get my rotor off and the whole wheel bearing came off.

      Thats why you shouldn't let your wheel bearing get that bad.
      My pads and rotors got here today. Now I just need my stainless lines and I'll install everything and flush the fluid.

        I check the slack every tire balance and rotation, ie 5xxx miles.

        So idk when the slack came about. But its been fixed with new spindles, wheel bearings and hubs on both sides.

                  in other news, I think I'm gonna part out the wagon.

                  I want something that doesn't require constant attention so I can focus on the S13.

                          Yeah that's a fair point, but it still seems wrong for you to be wagonless.

                          Whatever makes you happy though.

                                kinda hard to see in the picture but the tower has a nice hole in it too, if you hit a bump the right way you can hear pieces of metal falling off the car
