Modern mechanics are so sad. I've had many places that say they can't diagnose any issues without OBD2. First off, there's codes like this, secondly, even without codes many issues can be narrowed down or even fully diagnosed with a bit of inspection and knowledge of how the car works. It's always a sad day when I have to send the car off to a mechanic due to tool limitations haha

How do you fix the negative camber on the control arm I’m guessing
@operationoverhaulКүн бұрын
You do it with the rear lateral link. It has the adjustments on it and lets you adjust the negative and positive camber.

Thoughts on the recommended aftermarket part vs OEM? The sway bar links are failing on my wife’s soul but they lasted 80,000 miles!

The aftermarket parts are usually good, but OEM will last longer in my opinion. I would just compare the price and see if the difference is large enough to go oem. I will say depending on what brand you go with aftermarket depends on how long they will last as well.

Hey bud, just got done with the first strut, thanks for your help! Not to be a stickler, but I did notice something that you would probably want to know. The steering knuckle bolt doesn’t attach through the hole on the shock absorber/strut. I came to that same point and almost quit last night, but I checked the other strut and that bolt actually goes over the entire little ear/tongue on the strut. It’s supposed to rest along the circumference of the shock on the raised area where the brackets for the beak line and speed sensor are located and torqued to I think 77 lbs which is more than tight enough to keep it secure, trust me, I almost broke my face with my torque wrench. Hope that helps!

I do see that the right side is the most common to go bad for some reason. I do not know why the right side does that more than the left but I would put some grease inside the seal, then use rtv sealant on the outside of the seal before installing it into the differential.
