Ok I got the ball joints installed. It wasn't too bad, other than when I was doing the first one I wasted about 30 min. trying to get the bottom nut off by TIGHTENING it. Once I figured that out it went well until I had the first one back on, then I remembered that I hadn't put any grease in it yet. So I had to pull it off again and fill it then reinstall it. The second one was off and on in about 25 min. now that I knew what I was doing. I'll try to get pics of the old ones tonight to show how bad they were.

I like the leds in your interior. I am going to have to do that and get a underhood light wired up. Always remember It is usually the simpliest answer when something doesnt work.(as in the case of your starter)

Thanks, and yeah, the problem with that logic, is there are alot of simple things to go wrong. But it's usually right there staring you right in the face.

Haha I hate it when I forget to do a step in a repair. I did head gaskets on my bosses 5 series bmw last week and when I was putting the valve covers back on I forgot to put the inner gasket on. So off it came! Owell I just try and look at it as experience Good to see you got yours all finished up though.

Well I got my leds and boards in for the tail lights. Now I just need to find a way to get the junkyard tail light apart and get to work.
