ra attendee warnings

[kevin]

didn't know what else to title this.

i've been wrenching my car to prep it for ra and found a few loose items. ya might want double sheck yours.

first, ya should wrench top to bottom, end to end regardless.

front struts, under the hood: (both sides) ya have two nuts and one bolt showing. the two nuts on each side where a bit loose.

front struts, at the wheel: ya have a nut that holds a bracket. this nut was loose on both sides..

front cooling ducts: clamps were very loose, both sides at the rotor.

regardless of the above, check everything.
