A little history before my question. Last fall I noticed a noise in the rear
end. It turned out to be a loose hub that had chewed up the key. In taking
that all apart to fix, I noticed I had a leaky axle seal, and decided to fix
that too. On a hunch I looked at the other side. Yep, it was leaking also.
Well as long as I'm doing that, I might as well just rebuild the whole rear
end, and if I'm doing that, why not put in posi. Of course I had to cut the
exhaust out of the way to get the rear end out. When I installed the rebuilt
rear end, I figured I might as well rebuild the rear brakes as long as I was
there. Then I decided to rebuild the brake booster that a previous owner had
unhooked because it leaked vacuum (I don't recommend that for the faint of
heart). I then remembered that the car would pull to one side if I dynamited
the brakes real hard so why not rebuild the front calipers as well. I found a
set of Walker mufflers that would fit under the car and welded them in because
the old mufflers had some holes in them (another job I don't ever want to do
again) and I'm ready for a test drive. Here's the problem. My "new" car is
quiet, the rear end doesn't make noise and it doesn't pull to one side when I
brake hard. I kind of miss the excitement. How long will it take me to get
used to this?
