Hey Pete, do you still have that suspension clunk on the front? My has developed a bad one, as some of you heard at the P&P event. Got it on Tim's lift yesterday and noticed a bad bushing on the front LCA, inboard bushing. Just saying.

I think you meant yes. If my choices are the balljoint, donut or "inner bushing". Then I just described the inner bushing to you. Vince called it a forearm bushing.

what all did the plumber have to do for you? Being a homowner you should learn a few basic skills... the internets can haz how-to's on just about everything.

should be an interesting weekend. I'm not buying into all the weather hype just yet though... I plan to lock myself in the garage and not come out till I'm done installing all the parts I've accumulated for the e30.
The race is on Speed.

As far as the drain issue, I did what I could. I took the trap out and the blockage wasn't in there. I tried to snake it, but it didn't do anything. It was literally the entire pipe that runs from one side of the basement to the other (under the concrete, about 25ft long) where it meets the other drain and goes out to the road from there. 45yrs of build up, he had to snake it 3 or 4 times. I have no clue the last time this was done, if ever.

My cluck was sorted when R/T did all the suspension work on my car in the spring, haven't heard it since. *knock on wood*

These? They're fairly long/cylindrical in person. The picture doesn't do them justice.

I don't mess with plumbing. No way! No how! Last thing a plumber did in my house was replace a pressure reducer valve and install a thermal expansion tank to the water heater. The problem was that the pressure relief valve on the water heater was leaking heavily. There is no way I would have figured out that the pressure reducer valve and thermal expansion were the issues.

Those are it Dan. Marc, the arm isn't rubbing on anything. We used a prybar to move the arm back and forth and it made the same exact noise.

I got home late so I didn't get a chance to check the STFT bro. Will do this weekend!

Dan, you ever see this car driving around? He says he sees you often and you two share awkward almost homo-erotic stares passing by. He was at njmp with the bmw even too
