Misanthropy
Information Junkie
I have had shaky suspension for quite some time now. I swapped air ride out for coil/spring, added http://store.summitracing.com/partd...907910+4294906849+4294925130+115&autoview=sku
had the front upper control arms replaced. replaced my rear shocks, replaced front rotors (ebc green pads and black cross drilled/slotted rotors), replaced the front sway arm links, had brake booster and master cylinder replaced.
I didn't have my car aligned when I replaced the suspension and my steering wheel sits at 10pm instead of 12. When I brake my steering wheel constantly vibrates and I am sick of it.
Here is what I plan do once I find a reliable mechanic:
1.) have all rotors/pads replaced with stock
2.) have e-brake cable replaced (it is broken near the rear I believe)
3.) have car aligned front & rear
4.) have mechanic fix the off center steering wheel problem (no idea why it is like this
5.) wheels balanced and rotated
Questions:
1.) It's going to be hard to find a mechanic that isn't going to rip me off by doing more work than necessary. Does anyone know a good all around mechanic near Sacramento California? (I live in lincoln)
2.) What else should I replace myself before doing this or have the mechanic replace while doing this? Possibly lower front control arms?
3.) Would my Calipers be in need of replacing if my car is at 160k ? Or should I upgrade
