Assorted problems

Thought I would list my projects that I am slowly playing with right now.

Drivers side window, will not go all the way up ( wrong motor installed I am sure )

Back Drivers side window will not go all the way up (completed at lunch greased tracks )
Back passenger side door will not lock or unlock.. just got done checking voltage at front drivers side door, and passenger side drivers door, voltage present, need to check for voltage at actuator.

Need to replace bezel for passenger side door window and door lock after checking voltage..

Clunking in front end ( ball joints maybe ) when hitting bumps..

Might be time for the tin foil mod on these Pat

Could it be swar bar bushings? I have the same thing and I know that it is the sway bar bushings for a fact.

Do you feel it under your feet? If so then it is swar bar bushings that is a $25 fix

Tow type, or regular??

Exhaust, I have a 4" mugffler sitting here in my office, might have access to the tail pipe, have to touch base on that.

Tires.. to far away, i think after shipping, you could pay to pour your own.

Let me know about the mirror, if it is a tow type, I dont think I can get you anything, but the regular ones there was a craigs list offering the other day I can look again for.
