I'll start with our Little Pony has 95,000+ miles now. She started to wear the tires on the inside all of sudden real bad, especially the right front. NO we didn't hit anything. The car seamed to make more noise on rough roads (all roads up hear in Nor-Cal are pretty rough now) and we could feel it try to follow irregularities in the road. I am 70 now and jobs I used to tackle are tough on me. I called the front end shop that I trust and take Little Pony to for front end alignment for a quote to do control arms and strut tower bearings and alignment. HOLYCRAP, I was shocked. $1500.00 Well, I said to myself, looks like i'm ordering the parts and doing the job myself. Ordered the parts from LMR, great prices fast shipping. Parts came and I started the job Wednesday. Just finished today at noon. That was a difficult job to do with out a lift. Even with a lift it would be tough. I see the shop would have earned their money. The factory had some bolt and nuts torqued so tight that I broke a wrench loosening one of the bolts on the right control arm. Ridiculousness. Welded it back together and finished the job. Still have to have the new tires mounted and the alignment done but a short drive tells me it is going to be good again. WOW what a job. Grandpaw is getting to old to crawl around on the floor and underneath the car anymore I guess. That was a big job for Grandpaw:hide:
