Don, go **** yourself. And **** Texas too...

My parents used to stay in an RV park during the summers off of Ten Rod Rd.

I say used to, because they've decided to stay in Florida this summer.

Today I finally started to see the end of a nearly week-long project involving new front shocks (Bilstein Sports), springs (Neuspeed), upper and lower control arms and inner & outer tie rods. Of course the outer and inner rods were fused together after 14 years, no PB blaster or map gas could separate them. So I cut off the outers, got a pair of new inners and loaner removal tool from O'Reilly's. Tool adapter thingy not quite the right fit, but managed to hammer the largest one on and twist the inners off. Then it turns out I have a metal boot mounting cylinder where the inners screw on at the passenger side, covering half the ball joint (anyone else has this? it doesn't show in the manual), so my new inners that only have grip for the tool at the innermost quarter inch (the rest is rounded) cannot be installed on the pass side as the tool won't reach. Then I somehow f'ed up the threads in the steering rack on the drivers side while trying to install the inner there - I blame poor fit of the cheapo new inners (but more likely I did something wrong...). The useless inners and tool go back to O'Reilly's, I order new ones from ECS Tuning that's supposed to be exactly like the stock ones (2nd day air shipping because I'm friggin getting these done this weekend). Then run all over town today (no time to buy online and wait for shipping) trying to find a place that sells a tap to clean up the messed up threads - the third store had one (it's 16 x 1.5 in case you wondered), and I just finished "re-threading" the steering rack, phew.

Now all I need is the new inners, which will arrive tomorrow, and everything goes back on the car - high expectations about the end result (but will still have to do the rear shocks and springs, which should be child's play in comparison - I hope)!
