Lulz, I'm 2 hours in today on the RF corner and I can't get the shock/spring combo out of the upper A-arm. End link on this side was ok(-ish) and upper balljoint is loose. It might be that I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks or my mechanical retardation:noob:

if you did the long bolt method you'd of had the entire car done in 2 hours.

Oscar 10-23-2013 09:41 AM

Tried that. Long bolt is practically welded in there for life. It's not going anywhere.

mgeoffriau 10-23-2013 09:42 AM

Don't know why anyone would do anything other than long bolt.

Get a longer lever and some Kroil.

To be honest, I'm surprised she help up this long- Lexi was a very obese little chihuahua. But despite her age, she was so playful and filled with bouncing-off-the-walls energy that she might as well have been a puppy. Every time I flew home to visit, she'd practically explode when I walked through the door.

That kind of made it worse, actually. She didn't seem like an old dog...

I know this is a cat forum, and I've never even fessed up to dog ownership before today, I just thought I'd share.

I's sorry to hear that, Joe.
I'm a dog owner, too. (Well, I do not "own" them. We live together.)

It's been soakin in oil since last sunday, no dice. Long bolt never worked for me, balljoints always popped loose in 4 smacks of the BFH.

Oh well, shock came out, swapped the spring and it's all buttoned up now. Only thing left is do drivers side and cut off the old endlink that has fused to both the lower arm and swaybar. Such joy:party:

Braineack 10-23-2013 06:46 PM

I just called the police. I didn't get assaulted and they didn't shoot my dog but they also weren't helpful.

Just looked it up. Never tried unbolting the hub from the lower arm, might as well give that a try. I failed at step 2 though, that endlink wasn't going anywhere. Time for :fael:

From the Nature is Weird file, I present Cymothoa exigua, or the tongue-eating louse:


https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1382617446


This parasite enters a fish through the gills, and then attaches itself at the base of the fish's tongue. Once anchored, it extracts blood through its claws, eventually causing the tongue to atrophy from lack of blood. After the tongue rots away and falls off, the parasite then replaces the fish's tongue by attaching its own body to the muscles of the tongue stub. Subsequent to this, the parasite actually functions as a sort of prosthetic tongue, allowing the fish to feed normally while continuing to feast on its blood.

After a lot of consideration I changed my major.

Finally pulled the trigger to get a second supercharger.
Got a deal on a good used unit, and thought it would be wise to have a spare since these things are getting harder and harder to come by.
Not a whole lot of support over here, gotta think long term.
