Early this week i loaded my grease gun for the first time and lubbed everything i could in the undercarriage with synthetic grease.

Over the last 3 days i took out the electric motor of the driver's side power-window, bought the required parts, rebuilt the motor and reinstalled it. Also took care of several messes left by so-said mechanics and lubbed the window mechanism. I'll post a little write-up on the rebuild soon.

Trust me....3k doesn't entice me THAT well....I can put up with taking an extra 5 minute head start to get going....

Also, for the hassle and 3k I was looking spending, I can have a stout, RELIABLE, and UNIQUE engine.....Just saying.....But yea...I will have to put up with the I6 whine....Sigh...

sanded & painted small rust spots on underside of hood, removed all visible winter salt residue from all parts in engine compartment. Hit up all the grease fittings. changed the oil & filter, hoped for the best with the little tranny issue.

So i guess this should not be rubbing on the spring any ideas on how to fix it? i might try and rotate the spring but this is how the shop left it after they alighned it. goes striaght and true. but just a little concerned. i know its becouse of the new caster camber bushings that came with the lift. but dang looks mighty wrong.
