Well, my driveshaft was toast so they're building me a new one. I'll still have it this weekend so I can get it in the car. I'm ordering the cowl hood tomorrow but I don't know if it'll make it in time.

OUCH, that really sucks. Damn, you need to figure out why it did this as well. Did they find some more kenny brown stuff for you, or are you goign to throw something else in there?

Rick

They said they can get all the kennybrown control arms needed, however they are under a different name...they said they can buy the kenny brown parts from some company... i forget the name...Anyway, im going to have them order the parts for me and get me an estimate on what the cost will be to replace all of the control arms...if it is way more money than i think, then would you be up for the task Rick???
They said i cant buy one rear lower control arm and one upper, im going to have to buy and replace both sets of the upper and lower control arms...

Rick-let me know if you'd be interested in doing the job and i'll let you know what they quote me to replace all the control arms...
I have no idea why it snapped, they said it may because it was one of their earlier control arms, and apparently they have improved them since then...i dont know, they havent put it on the lift yet, it should be a day or two before they can look at it.

Are you sticking with Kenny brown for your replacements? Out of curiosity, are the KB's the only ones compatible with your car since you have the whole KB package?

I had my stock control arms at Brad's but not sure if they would work...also, Brad has a Kenny Brown IRS that i'm sure you can make a deal on.

Probably white rice, since your car is white.

I am going to a Navigation pipeline school
