Still getting wear on the inside of my tires, even though camber/toe are in spec...probably going to need new tires soon

I guess I'll start with replacing the axle...autozone lifetime warranty axles, here I come.

damn dude well thats wierd your still getting toe/camber wear, if you live near a bunch of pot holes then your alignment can be fucked up in a couple weeks. oh and the coolant drain plug, put some teflon tape around it and reinstall it, that should stop the leak.

Yeah the leak is minor, it's just the principalities of having to drain and refill/bleed the coolant system, and take the header off. I still need to fix my AC...the bolt that holds the bracket for the tensioner pulley to the AC bracket broke off while I was driving down my street a few months ago...so I guess I'll do that while the header is out.

damn how did the bolt just break off? invest in one of those non-spill funnels, and drain your system and hook up the funnel and let your car run for about 20 mins, no air in the system everytime.

I have no idea. I could understand if I was torquing it too much with a rachet, but I was just driving down my street.


And I love my AC...keeping it.
