So i can no longer wait for Rob to update his own worklog so i'm gonna post an update for him, lol.
I have no pics but i think rob took a couple so hopefully he'll post them up soon.
So a couple weeks ago rob went to an alignment shop to get an alignment and was told that he needed a driver side CV axle and a passenger side ball joint and since i was already ordering parts from rock auto i just put a couple extra parts on my order for him.
We ended up getting him two ball joints just so both sides are new and i also suggested he get outer tie rods since those take no time to do and i was already ordering 2 for myself.
For the new CV there's a little bit of a story but here's what i think it was, Rob had a friends dad who happen to buy a.....95? RS and the seller had 2 reman CV's he never got around to installing and his friends dad only actually needed a passenger side CV. He needed a new headlight so Rob gave him extra headlights he had laying around and in return he gave Rob 3 quarts of tranny oil and sold him the driver side CV axle for $20 but the core return is $90 so technically Rob got paid $70 to take a new CV axle, Rob is one lucky guy......XD
So he came over to my place to get some help from me since i have a bit more mechanical experience than him.
For some reason i thought we could do this job without a pickle fork but quickly realized that it'd just be a lot easier to do with a pickle fork so we went to princess auto to pick one up and while i was there i picked up jack stands and a hydraulic jack since they were on sale ($45 for both win!). Both of his ball joints were seized in place along with the thru-bolt holding the ball joint in so this 3-5 hour job ended up taking us about 8.5 hours to do XD
It was a long tiring day but we had great fun doing it and he shouldn't have anymore problems if he goes to get an alignment.
Oh wait! i do have a couple unrelated pics just to make this post more interesting =D
BTW, my car's lower than Rob's, win!
