the power steering hose was the return line, it blew off the rack in spotsylvania virginia, i found a firestone and they had me in and out in less than 90 minutes. thank god thats all it was! Bud i was stuck in New Castle Deleware from 3:30 pm saturday until 8 am sunday until the roads were clear enough to drive on again. this is what the car looked like saturday night at the Quality in off 95 in New Castle. remember, this car has never ever seen snow!!

Congrats Jamie,except for the PS hose letting go it looks like you had a great time driving back down to Fla. All the way down that poor car was saying Damn it's COLD, get me some fur tires please.
 
lol yeah it was cold, by the time we got to southern georgia the dew in the air had taken most of the salt off the car, it was weird how it cleaned itself almost!! i dropped my buddy off at his house this morning and went to the power wash before i went home. i did a quicky wash just because i was getting funny looks, no one down here sees salt on a car like this!!
 
Jamie, I've got a pair of those rings for the rotors if you need them.
Also, get a set of proper rings for those wheels. I bet the ones you have on there are lose on the hub side. The beauty of aftermarket wheels. JP has the dimensions somewhere.
 
hey jeremi what do you want for the rings for the rotors? also, how do i tell if i have the right rings for the wheels, because driving down the road the car rides great, doesnt feel out of balance and no shimmy, its only when i step on the brakes that you can feel it in the rear. i do know that he put spacers on the front so the wheels could be brought out a little and not inside the wheel well like the stock wheels are. this weekend i plan on looking the whole car over very well, but i know if i take the back wheels off, i am going to throw the rotors way off, because they got them as close to true as they could and tightened the wheels up to keep them there. this is all new stuff to me!! unfamiliar territory!

I can send you those rotor rings for say $25 ? Let me know if it's out of line.

I am surprised about the spacers in the front. Those wheels shouldn't need them, at least that's what CWM tells everybody ;)

Take the wheels off, and see if the wheel hub centric rings have any play when installed onto the hub. They might be stuck in the wheels. If the rings are what CWM sells, they do have play, since the hub is not 63.9mm and their rings are. They should be 63.36 ID as per JP's measuring skills.
