Did more 850 repairs

Post by Smash »

Did anyone take advantage of the IPD sale? My new ball joints arrived today, along with my tie rod ends. $100ish for all! Probably put on the ball joints over Christmas, dunno about the TR ends, whenever I'm close to sears I suppose.

About 4 months ago I bought the two idler pulleys because I had a chattering when the car was running that became louder with the A/C on. Well today I replaced both pulleys plus new gates belt - WAY quiet now, very impressive.

Any questions on that belt/pulley change, I'll be glad to help. It was sure helpful to take out the overflow tank and ECU receptacle - much more room!

Happy holidays.
