    Ahhh... The luck i have!

    Sooo... i go to bleed the brakes tonight... Doing all 4 because it pulls to the right like a bitch on crack, with a black eye.


    Any how....

    Low and behold... I find a broken spring in the front Drivers side.... The Rear Passenger Side ( this one is just hanging there, waiting to puncture my tire!, and a broken Strut on the rear Drivers side.
    To make things even better, i have some play in the front end on the passenger side axle/CV what ever... its fing Wrong wheel drive.... So im not sure if the cv is junk going into the tranny, or if my Diff is missing a few teeth....

    FUN STUFF!

            why bleed the brakes if you have a pull? Maybe I am wrong but I have never heard of this before. Second, your driving it with broken springs and struts as well as a fucked up axle? you have a death wish, please dont drive on the same roads I do.

                      No.. but close.

                      the A arm Bushings were completly gone.. so the driver side a arm sat back a little bit.
                      Took a chain ratchet strap, ratcheted it forward, tied it off with wire. Drove it like that for 11 months.

                            just watch out with that axle. i had a honda one time, and the final drive in the tranny got excessive to the point that the cv axle would pop right out of the tranny going down the highway, i'd pop it back in on the roadside and go 10 miles and do it all over again. but there was probably 1/2" of play. after about 5 times doing that in subzero i drove it to the junkyard and got $9 cash for it in scrap.

                              Don't we all know it?

                              Tell em the Lumina still runs good. Fixed 1 oil leak (Valve cover gasket... now timing chain cover leaks... Oh well)
                              Need to do a wheel bearing but may say f it...

                              Runs good otherwise.
