What did you do today to your 3/S?

[Ange]

Swapped these bad boys out. A lot easier task than I expected...

how did the rear one go, had to remove turbo? or was a few extensions and joints enough to get to the bolts?

need to do mine too but havn't been arsed seem like a pita...

Rear is not that bad, no turbo work needed. Remove the battery, and intake pipes. The rest is reachable from the bottom.

I already had my turbo out for other shenanigans which made it a 15 min job. Did everything from the top.

yeah don't really feel like removing turbo. Fear of broken studs and also timeconsuming... Needs to come off some day though but not right now

I Think the precat needs to come off though. That's what they say in other threads I've read anyways. Already replaced last year with aftermarket so bolts shouldn't be much of an issue anyways. I just hate working under the car with jackstands. Always that unsafe feeling.

Here are a couple pictures of the steering. Notice the pivot joint comparison of the lower control arm and the steering rack. Also notice the wheel clearance.

Will that throw the caster off? When I messed with the position of where the tie rod hooked on my rail buggy it made the wheel pull badly in my hand. It could have been another issue but I blamed it on that.

Rebuilding throttle body and replacing injector o-rings thanks to a leak test.
