Notes from the field today: frozen tie rod end, broke non-OEM bolt in early strut, removed entire front suspension, replaced rotors + bearings.

FYI - I hung my front brakes on the front anti roll-bar arm with some bungee cords then dropped the entire front suspension...shouldn't have to mess with bleeding the brakes at all.

I have new and powder coated parts to equal a 95% brand new front suspension. Pelican, PMB, and Livermore Performance should be getting an order from me Monday for the final bits.

Tech time Dave (if yer still watching):
Should I order "Desk pad, F 47229 19032" to go with my other new parts ??
I've never heard of this but it is on the diagram...

Does anyone in the NorCal SF East Bay or North Bay have the Ball-Joint socket to lend me? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
