Daily Driver

Post by AoT »

The past few months my daily driver, 2002 Tribute has been sending up lots of flags that the front end needs some attention. Lots of clunking on uneven roads, turning and accelerating/braking. Found a bad ball joint two weeks ago and when the noise didn't go away brought it back and found a one of the motor mounts had a stress fracture. There is still some noise so I have to bring it back on Friday so the mechanic can isolate the location. Getting better but not done yet.

I changed the rear shocks a month ago so looking forward to a smooth ride and getting some work done on my ACVW's.

:P

PS. Mike I was not able to upload the photos from the attachment. I used PB for these. It just inserts the attachment location where the picture should display.
Keep working at it and it gets done!!

I'll look at the attachment system
I suspect it has to do with the gallery not having any permissions.
They each look to the same directory on the server for images.

Nice work on the Mazda, I'll be ripping into the bus this Sunday taking apart the air box in the nose and putting new seals on the turn signal buckets. Not looking forward to it...

Ouch. Got to keep these old cars in shape. Good move staying on top of smaller issues before they become bigger issues

Dropped off the DD today for the follow up on the front end. Turns out the control arm with ball joint that was replaced two weeks ago was defective. New one was installed and now I can hear the radio!! :lol:
