Car now has broken parts
Permalink  

when we were putting the shocks in i decided to rotate the tires and when i pulled the front wheel off i found grease on the fender liner from the cv. also after the shocks were in the steering was floating and felt loose. i thought it was because of the one spring being not seated all the way but i jacked up the front today and i can wobble the wheel back and forth. the tie rod steering knuckle is worn out and i could actually see it move about a 1/16" each way.


so for the cv joint i ordered a new boot for it from ecs and im going to try and get them to send a steering knuckle with that so i dont have to pay double for shipping. then after i get everything installed im thinking about trying to do the alignment. like this http://www.audiworld.com./tech/wheel17.shtml            you guys think it would turn out? or go straight

sucks abt your broken parts.  i've read that the alignments were doable, but kinda hard.  a lot of measuring and time that you have to put in to them.  I'd say go for it though....oh and my dad has a laser lever if you need one while i'm home.  Would be cool if you could do your own alighnment.
