Repairs to my SVX

[Lookin4SVX]

Well lately I been posting the cosmetic things I have been doing to my SVX.
Today so I thought I would list what I have had replaced mechanically.

These parts were installed by professional garage on April 13-16th, so one month ago.
Unfortunately I was unable to be in the shop to take pics while repairs were being made.

It was my job to get all the parts together for them, I tried to make it as easy as I could for them.

I bought new nuts, bolts, and washers for every part that was to be replaced.

Ended up getting a box in the mail with over 100 pieces in it.

I didn't want to just hand them the box with 100 miscellaneous pieces and hope for the best, so I bagged and tagged it all.
Each bag included a diagram of where the parts go with a Ref#, and a sheet listing part numbers to matching Ref#.

Mechanic said I saved them a lot of time and encouraged me to bring in my own parts anytime.

Rebuild Both Front Calipers:





Replace Ball Joints





Replace Outer Tie Rod Ends





Replace PCV



Replace Valve Cover Gaskets - Both Sides:
Both sides packs have same parts, didn't bother to take pics of second pack



Pics of Everything:



If you look carefully at the papers in the picture below you can make out the diagrams coming through from the sheet below.
The REF# on the printout corresponds to the diagram showing them where each nut and bolt goes.


Cost:
Parts: $553
Labor: $640
Grand Total: $1193
Time: 4 days

-------------------------------

So $1200 repairs + another $1200 for the new wheels and tires = $2400.
Add in the Gaskets and nuts to reinstall the rear spoiler. $35
Add in the new Oil Dipstick. $15

That is $2,450 I spent on the SVX in a 30 day period.

It hurts, but she deserves it.

I told the previous owner that I would take good care of her, and that is a promise I intend to keep.
