MBirch said...: apparently it needs all new brakes and my front control bar is about to snap. my brakes haven't been working too well lately and my rear control bar snapped a few months ago. so i believe that it's fucked up but i'm gonna take it to a mechanic friend of mine and see how much cheaper he can fix it.; December 18, 2008 at 9:02 PM
lane-fu said...: yeah dude you can do cheaper.

control bar... sway bar? They don't usually snap... I bent the shit out of mine after driving into an embankment but that's what happens when you drive into the side of a mountain. sway bar links break.. that's what holds it on.. they're cheap.

Do you have a lot of extra body roll during turns?

Maybe you mean control arm... again a very rigid item.. they don't usually snap.

Anyway I hope you buddy hooks you up better than those clowns.; December 18, 2008 at 10:24 PM
MBirch said...: i don't know what it's called, really. i thought he said control bar. it's all greek to me. a few months ago, my rear control arm or sway bar or whatever had rusted so bad that it literally just snapped right off. it's an old ass car.

i'm sure my friend can do it way cheaper but after putting 3 grand into this car over the past two years, i think i might just get a new (used) one; December 19, 2008 at 1:24 AM
