tie rod ends helped mine alot. new bush is not an easy install so i have put that off for now. struts would be something to look at though. put some koni struts and shocks in and i cant believe the difference. sam helped me out with some long phone calls. great guy. also told me about the hose mod to lower the rear.

yah if u can get it at a better price then go for it. he tries to keep compeditive and the advice and service is worth the couple extra bucks. at least u know hes not bailing when threres trouble with a product like on ebay.

ive heard that u dont want to mix certain types of antifreeze so try to stick with the same u have. the dipstick jimmy. mine comes out easy. could be its bent or put in wrong. the dang things are so long and if u dont get them the right way they can be a pain.

brown is a bad color if u ask me. sounds like someone either mixed antifreeze or there may be a rust issue. i would say u need to flush and change the coolant to be safe.

the recomendation here is use dex-cool only and do not use the greed stuff. not sure why but that is the word.
