So it was your power steering rack. Wonder if that's my issue. I made a appointment for next Mon. So we'll see. Just curious since you went to dealer what did they say it would cost if you didn't have the warranty? My next pay day I'm getting my allignment depending on what they find. Why did they not let you drive car before an allignment was performed?
Yeah, the bridge is complete. Also the harbor is pretty much done. It looks nice especially at night. We just need a Casino in MD instead of going to Dover,DE,AC & Charlestown.
Oh, is your car lowered or you still have all your oem suspension?

I dont know how because never taken time to learn. I usually take mine to Mr. Tire which is alot cheaper than what dealer charge. Dealers are good for most part. As I see it I go there for certain things.
What kind of rotors/pads did you get on ebay?
I need rears. I'm going w/ brembo blanks & hawk hps. I have brembo pads/rotors up front.
What color green do they call your GSR

its not hard at all, but as with most any car work, if done wrong, the mistake can be costly.

also, if something can go wrong, it usually will. having the right tools and the know-how to overcome the snag is vital. if you've never done it before, have a friend who's done it before help you out.
