[QUOTE="Darrin kirby, post: 211676, member: 5211"] I didn't get as much done over the winter as I had hoped - life gets in the way, and that was a lot this year. I have managed to replace the rear trailing arm & spindle arm bushings, rear sway bar end links/bushings, and the right front wheel bearing/spindle. Still on the list from the failed winter plan: - cooling fan controller - left front wheel bearing - both rear wheel bearings - axle shaft u-joints - front suspension bushings - front sway bar end links/bushings - sill seals - driver's side door panel (ribs are cracked) - driver's side window motor (working, but locks up once in a while) - fix window alignment (don't know what the prev owner was thinking) - Fix grounding of fog lamp relay to play nice with LED headlights - more LED upgrades/swaps - fix dead temp gauge (digital display works, gauge itself doesn't) - new wheels - fix up hack-job stereo install And the list keeps growing. A lot of this stuff is not critical - the car runs & drives fine. I am still chasing a cyclic vibration that varies with speed. That's why the bearings are on the list (and they look like they haven't been replaced in who knows how long). The axle u-joints also. It could be wheel related - the C6 wheels on the car have seen better days. Likely not tires as it was there before replacing them late last summer. Shocks are new too and didn't fix the problem. It'll be a practically new car by the time it all needs to be fixed again! :D [/QUOTE]
