preping for the road trip...
As we get closer to the the 10th Anniversary Meet, I want to have my car as good as I can get it (and funds permit) for the big road trip...
I picked up my car yesterday from my independant Subaru shop in Denver, after having the following done:
---replaced both front and rear struts. The old ones (the originals )were shot; leaking bad, no rebound at all.
---replaced the steering rack with a new rebuilt; seal was bad, and leaking fluid (more than a drop)...the rubber boots were full..
---replaced tie rods
---replaced ball joint
---4 wheel alignment done...
---recently did rear wheel bearings, and valve cover gaskets...
I'm about 2k lighter, but what a vast improvement. The car handles like new; no more "bump noises" or shimmy, all is nice and tight. The owner of the shop took my car home one night, and now he wants an SVX!
now if I could just get the damn visors to quit drooping...
