So, after many long hours fighting the rust that bound my suspension together, I got the SVT kit installed and all new poly bushings around. Pretty sweet. So, I was backing it out of the garage to clean it up, and i've still got a clunk in the steering, that I had previously marked down to terribly worn sway bar endlinks. So, I do a little looking, and find that not only is my inner tie rod end bad (at least one, if not more) but my rack is leaking. yay!
So now my old rack is laying of the floor of the garage, my new one is coming to oreilleys tomorrow afternoon, I leave for school on friday morning, need an alignment even worse than before, and I haven't started packing yet. whee!
Ahhh car's going to hell
