so sunday i changed the 93 back to a standard height coil spring kit for my wife, i knew i was gonna do this so i never had it alligned after i replaced all the front suspension parts. well since i finally raised it back up i made an appointment to have it alligned today and have the tires balanced. i dropped the car off at Flammer Ford last night after work. they call me at 9:30 this morning telling me they need to speak to me, i didnt get this till noon. so i just stopped there on our way back to work, the service manager says we havent alligned it yet, you need to see this. as we're walking out into the bay he says you know you have a power steering leak right, i said yeah i'll fix it soon, he says well you might want to fix it now because the pump is empty, i go under the car and the driver side inner tie rod boot is like destroyed and mushy and wet, he pulls on the boot and fluid pours out, he said the seal at the end of the rack is blown out, and he says look here too, and points to the crank pulley, soaked in coolant, i said son of a bitch what else you gonna show me? so he says well its here, we can fix it, i laughed and said oh yeah, throw me a number, so he says we can fix the rack for $455 and before he even said the water pump is.... i said put the front wheels back on and i will pick it up at 4:30 and fix it myself, i said i understand you guys are in business to make money i said but i am one person who wont support your overhead! i said i'll fix the car myself and bring it back for the allignment, so i got a ford reman rack with a 3 year warranty cost me $92 bucks and a brand new water pump was $40 with a lifetime replacement warranty. took me about 3 hours total if i cut out all the swearing and throwing :q:q:q:q, jake came and helped me with the water pump, coolant flush and rack, i couldnt get the dreaded high pressure line threaded back in, god the :q:q:q:qing morons who designed these cars needs to be shot if he isnt already dead. what a :q:q:q:qty night!!
HAHA!
