One side down...

Got the passenger side off today and cleaned it up a little and got it back in with the new bushings and torqued everything and now I got wait till I can get to the scrap yard and get the drivers side to finish that up. They only want $20 so it ain't too bad. I noticed I will also need the sway bar end links soon. YaY. Coming along...next up on the list is installing the steering coupler repair kit.

Old next to new ones. a bit of difference. The passenger side was worse than the drivers side.

Busted Nut

I got new strut rod bushings so I can hopefully stop the rattle from underneath. I tried to get the nut off and it went horribly wrong.

I got the nut off, kind of. Now I need a new strut rod. Looks like I won't be driving van for a while.

First Evant

Went to a van show this weekend and had alot of fun and I just got back and am really tired. Maybe I will edit this later I dunno. Just wanted to post that I got trophy for first in my class! I will post a pic later.

Hosed

So the upper radiator hose got a hole in it from somehow hitting the AC pump too many times. I got a replacement hose today and to get to the hose clamp by the thermostat I had to remove the alternator. Got everything back together and nothing leaks so I guess I did good. It seems though that it don't wanna stay running in reverse. Hopefully that's cause the computer is still trying to reset everything since I disconnected the battery.
