What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[Trent0]

I've been overseas where they drive on the right so yes, boost, rooted rears and driving on the left made me iffy lol.

[FGTimmy]

Took my cradle out to do the diff bushes, all done and back in now but when I jacked the car up the cradle was hanging 10mm from the body on the drivers side, I think someone forgot to do one side up properly or didn"t use thread lock.

No harm done, lucky I am not getting any Dukes of Hazzard airtime in the big girl!

Might be something for people to check if others are taking the cradle out to do bushes though.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Fark me. No symptoms of that while driving?

[FGTimmy]

Nah just the usual clunky diff noises when driving, all good now though.

Posted that incase peeps have others working on their cars, doesn"t take long for a quick look - mistakes happen sometimes.

That's a pretty big mistake.  When I first stated working as a mechanic on customers vehicles I was so paranoid I use to check all bolts at least 3 times. 

[bossmang]

how many times do yo check them now? ahha

[bupalooga]

Today I bolted in these little puppies. Still have to wire & plumb... But after that I am so going to get arrested [emoji23][emoji379]

 The second one is done mentally and the third is a physical check if necessary for me. Gotta have a good memory lol. 

 

I take the time to mentally check as it is much quicker than checking with tools. 

 

I didn't do anything with my car today. It has been 46 degrees for 3 days straight. I was outside working on some other stuff and noticed the car needed a wash. 

 

I've been planning a tuning day when it cools down. Tomorrow is supposed to be 32 so I guess a clean and a bunch of tuning is in order. 

 

I should probably have another try at finding that rear clunk.
