Thanks for all those who shared your stories. Believe me, I DO feel lucky at
not seeing little bits and pieces of my little car all over my neighbors
driveway, not the mention the damage $$$ it might have caused to his new
Nissan mini-van. I guess I need to start getting in the habit of applying
the emergency brake even in the garage.

As a form of therapy, I drove the car around all day today. Burned about 5
gallons so I figure I put around 125-130 miles on it. Can't tell for sure
cause my speedometer is on my "to fix" list. Everything went well and I got
to try out my new sway bar and new (tight) suspension components up in
Anaheim Hills. I need to adjust my steering box because I think there might
be some play in the internal gears. I'm going to look in the manual but
would like to hear if any of you have done this before and have any advise
on making adjustments. What type of oil does it use?

still working on it but getting closer!
