My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

Well I got nothing done on my compact Saturday. I did however work on a Alexs compact with him and Andy=D
We spent the day doing trans mounts and replacing the csb. When we got it all apart the csb was absolutely destroyed. The rubber around the bearing completely tore and the bracket was also snapped. We installed the new one and buttoned everything back together.
We did this because when the car would be getting into torque, the driveshaft would slap right by our thighs. This was obviously the driveshaft moving more than it should at the csb.
Well when we went on the maiden voyage, the car still maintained the issue=( There are only two things I think it could be. Either the output shaft on the trans is garbage or one/some of the bolts attaching the diff to the subframe have become loose. Both of these are easy things to diagnose. I felt so bad having spent all day feeling that we had fixed the problem.
Anyways my build will resume Wednesday at the latest=D

earl, when ever i come to your shop barely anything gets done. remember when we were lighting stuff on fire and then we were kicking a piece of paper around? or when jake came over and we played frizbee for a good hour? or when you were getting upset cause your car wouldnt go any lower, so we spent the day trying to figure that out, and then we found out your car was already laying on the ground?

HOLY SHIT. I was over here thinking "why does he just know how to change a suspension" and "why does this guy have a dedicated garage in milwauke" and now I see. This guy know how's to build a car! I am impressed. Passion at its finest. This is for an off road set up? (I didn't read the whole thread)
