don't you hate it when ...
you barely make it to the shop with your car while you're afraid it's going to fall apart on the way only to get there and then, when they (the friendly shop employees) look at it, ALL of the really loud and weird and scary noises are GONE and of course the car now handles PERFECT (unlike during the drive TO the shop). the squeeking is gone too as is the "loose" feeling in the front suspension that made you sweat like a pig while you were on the freeway, in the right lane doing 45 wondering if you will make it in one piece to the above mentioned shop.

and just to clarify (hi brad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) ), no, i'm NOT taking drugs.
in fact, i had a witness with me in the car!

WTF is wrong with my car?

btw, on a slightly related note, anyone wants a aluminum crossmember that's already notched for a 23mm brake-MC ???
cheap!

I had some wicked bad noises from my front end @ various speeds. A couple of times the crunch and wheel wobble were so bad I pulled over to clean my soiled self.
Turned out to be, again, the strut coller was holding on by a couple of threads. Tightened it down and have not pooped again while driveing.
Still seem to piss myself quite often though.
