my little suspension buddies
so, to start out, my alignment is off really badly
and ive noticed that when i apply the brakes i can hear metal-on-metal scraping every time the wheel rotates (coming from front right wheel) so tonight i decided to take off the wheel and have a look at my pads to see if there was actually any pad left got the wheel off...no pad left on one side...and grease everywhere in the wheel well from a previously broken boot i ordered some new pads and a new rotor tonight(the metal was eating away at the rotor) and just decided id clean off some of the grease and put the wheel back on until my order shipped i had my head in the wheel well and i was kinda looking around and as i look up towards the top of the suspension theres this wolf spider about the size of a silver dollar if not bigger staring me in the eyes  so i got out of there pretty quickly and decided to take some pictures as im taking a few shots, i see legs poking out of the holes of the suspension mounts (i believe thats what its called) which means i have numerous wolf spiders, big ones, living in my suspension...  the camera's battery is charging now, but ill post the pics tomorrow

Are you going to replace both of the rotors? I would do both of them at the same time and both brakes as well.

Up until a month ago I had a spider inside each of my side mirrors. Everyday I'd wipe the web off and every morning there'd be a brand spanking new spider web. I decided to kill 2 birds (or 2 spiders) with one stone.. I washed my car with the water gun and I went nuts with the gun on my mirrors. Gooooooneee, poor spiders need know not to go near my SVX

Ohhhh wow, it's a beast.
However I wouldn't want him in my SVX. Yea I was thinking about carb cleaner also. Ohhh yea, I'm glad we're on the spider subject. I was taking my car off the lift and I saw this small spider, I don't know the name of them, and he was walking on the upper driverside window. and I tryed to shoe him off but when I did he retreated and ran inside throught the open window. and I opened the door trying to kill 'em with a napkin. Then I followed him onto the door pannels to the dash board and then he ran in to the crack where the dash board meets the windsheild. And I waited for him to come out and I tryed to kill him again. and he runs back into the crack. I let off a sigh and the wind from my breath scared him back out..................................... so everytime he came out I'd try to kill em for 15 mins. so I decided to let it go.. But then When I was driving home I saw em come out on to the dash board and near the vent near the door. So I got the napkin and squashed got em. and he hit the mat and I decided to pic him up when I got out. BUT I COULDN'T FIND THE COARPSE.

That's a big spider. Anyway, I don't bother spiders and they don't bother me. If they do bother me...I put them outside or shoo them away.

It would probably take me a while to get that ominous creepy feeling that one of those things was going to crawl on me while I was driving to go away.
