Right, so I noticed the other day that the rear trunk was sitting high on the driver's side. Popped it open, lowered, opened, lowered, open, up, down, you get the idea. Only thing I noticed was the roller was cracked and wasn't really rolling, more like sliding. Added some white lithium grease, much quieter, but still not sitting right. (note: the torsion bars are still in use in case you hadn't gleaned that yet)
Stop by PP, pick up some aluminum rollers (very sweet btw), pop in the driver side. No change. Hmmm.... I start pushing the lid forward and back and notice that the hinge/pivot is moving was well. I assume this means that I have a busted weld in there, but I want to make sure. If it is the case, am I looking ay JWest as my best option? The trunk is sitting flush now, but I don't want to make this problem worse. TIA. |
