My 04 SXT 0344 is a PITA!!!!

Well, I got new wipers.

And today found some interesting stuff out. Went to get my oil changed at a friends shop (much easier with a lift) and found out that my lower motor mount is completely toasted (as in, moving a good 2.5-3 inches side to side) so I'll need to swap in the one I bought from Crystal at some point here. Pretty easy, right?

Also, my outer tie rod on the pass. side is ready to fall off... so that'll be happening pretty soon as well.

And just so this post isn't a total worthless fail...

Holy airbrushed photo! And damn, you still have the MM laying around? I thought you installed it already

Nah, it's been laying on the floor of my closet since I'm a lazy fucker.

Dude, I replaced my tie rods. Do it now, you'll be amazed at the difference between new and worn.

Drivers side was done a year and a half ago, just the pass side needed now.

Still didn't touch the motor mount or tie rod...

but I did make a deal to trade a part from my car for a part from someone elses car. I think I'll like the new part much better!

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:19 pm

A flux capacitor...chrome and some new muffler bearings.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:23 pm

Nah, flux capacitor doesn't work with the auto trans unless you get the adapter and those are too rare to find.

Fine fine fine, I'll tell you guys...
