Ok, got the old front LCA cut out and i am not able to seat the new LCA ball joint. just will not go in. any tips???

Hi, trying to cut that same bolt out now. How did you get the nut out? i have the lower bolt cut and the shock free, however the nut end is stuck in the steel flange mounted to the back of the mount plate. i can't get that off...

Thanks for the link, ever heard of them? the price on amazon is fantastic, even if i just get a couple of years out of them... just concerned they are junk to the point of safety hazard...

Hey All, anyone have an opinion on DTA shocks? they have an incredible deal on amazon right now. they seem to have decent to good reviews for other cars, nothing on a pathy though. thanks,

I just had my tranny checked while diagnosing an issue, the fluid was noted as being brown, was tested and came up clean for cross contamination. (thankfully). Hope this helps. the dealer recommend a flush/fill but did not think there was any damage being done. (2010 se)

Thanks for the info, and the link. that web site estimated 200-298$, if i my non dealer mech will do it in that range i may go that way. if not i'll give it a go. thanks again!

Hey all, So i was just quoted 400.00 at the dealer for a plug change on my v6 se. that seemed outrageous to me?? It was in for a tranny check and they had recommended the plugs due to my mileage just passing 105k. Can anyone tell me what the average cost is for a mech to change the plugs, and how to...
