I need to get them done now. How much effort is it to remove the entire lower control arm? Judging by the parts diagram, just looks like the Swaybar endlink attaches to it, along with only two other bolts. Is that it? Is it easy to remove?

I'm thinking of pulling them off tomorrow and taking them to a shop to have the new bushings pressed in. Too cheap to pay to have it all done
Biggest issue people have is the rusty bolts. Then pulling the old one and putting the new one in. Nothing difficult per se from what I can see, just annoying because cars aren't exactly clean. Prob worth shooting with PB blaster for like a whole week prior to doing the job.


I might do the brakes on Sat, Sunday being Mother's day and shit. @_@

The beauty is that my swaybar endlinks are all new, all around. Those should be a breeze to get off. I'm not too concerned about the bigger bolts though- I assume it'll be no different than removing bolts when doing brakes. We do get rust build up on our suspension/brake bits around here, but it's not as bad as you guys have it out east.

Ive never needed anything more than throwing a socket wrench on and giving it a few love taps with a hammer

Oh then I guess it won't be too hard. Rusted bolts are terrible here. When I first removed my front bumper one 10mm bolt head snapped off and another bolt raped the plastic of the bumper underside by actually twisting the receiving clip (that's clipped to the bumper). Hard to explain, but point being, even the smaller ones are a bitch.


Prob going to go with powerstop blanks front and rear with powerstop ceramic pads. Should run me $300 or so.

I definitely agree that Mayweather didn't 'win' that fight but that's not going to stop him from bragging about it. He doesn't have that trait called 'humility' that I was hoping pacman could serve.


A lot of people calling "RIGGED" now. Whatchu guys think?
Meh - I'm torn on Mayweather not "winning". The "running" is part of Mayweather's style...part of boxing is strategy. Make the proper adjustments you need to make in order to win, which Pacquio didn't really do. For Mayweather, you have to cut the ring off like Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya did to even have a chance. Mayweather kept it technical and used a strategy that worked against Pacman. No frills

The rigged part is possible but it would be like all major fights. Even if it was a much closer fight that could've went either way, the judges were going to lean Mayweather's way. Pacman would need to win convincingly in order to really win, if that makes sense.

My counterpart/friend at work is a boxer...coaches the boys & girls club too...he thought the fight was exciting and thinks Mayweather won it fair and square by a mile. He said it's the equivalent to people that don't know basketball/football and want every play to be a slam dunk or a huge touchdown and the masses that don't understand the game, being bored if that doesn't happen.

Bingo, all the Mayweather haters are saying we watched him just do cardio...

Mayweather won the fight outright. His moves were calculated and punches were definitely more accurate than pac man. I think people often times confuse boxing with ufc and hence they were expecting more action. With that said, I think Pacquiao has come the closest to challenging mayweather in the last few fights I've seen.

Every match with Mayweather is rigged.. you play by his rules.. he's the money draw. Unless he gets KO'd, they're not winning.

Betty kept saying...that guy behind him is famous...but his head kept being hidden by Pac...then it was obvious and what threw me off was that he looked like he was 7 feet tall at that angle...plus, pacman is short as heck...so then I go, damn...that looks like a tall Kimmel look alike...then we all realized it was and started laughing our azzes off.

It's always weighted / rigged for Mayweather. I think Manny pressured him to the ropes / corner quite a bit. The tough thing about Mayweather is he has a wide stance with great speed and reach. He picks you apart before you can get in and then gets the fuck out.

Even when Manny pinched him in, Money had great defense / head movement. As Manny started a flurry, he'd slip or block out, then wrap Manny up and either be separated or duck out. Very frustrating to say the least, but everyone knows this is Mayweather's game. Manny didn't want to punch himself out or leave himself open. He still showed aggression and cut many of the angles without leaving himself vulnerable, but he needs to put it all out there if he wants to put a hurt on Money.

He executed his game well, but I don't think he won. If outbox you mean jab and move, slip and grab.. lol. How can you win a fight with a jab?!

The biased scoring and judging is bullshit. The sport is losing because the decision is made before the bell even rings. Pacquiao didn't nearly come as close as Maidana. Maidana put a fucking whooping on Mayweather both times, of course it goes to decision and Mayweather wins.

That was the last two fights, did you not watch? What about the Castillo series.. I don't follow compubox stats because it's a flawed, but even compubox stats showed Castillo outpunched Mayweather.

I'm not saying Mayweather is shit. He obviously has a tough defense to break and is frustrating to many boxers. But who has he whooped? I'd rather watch pacman vs de la hoya, cotto, marquez, hatton, mosely etc rather than Mayweather's matches against them. Toe to toe, mano a mano. Leave it in the ring.

The reason Kenny is so controversial.. the Maidana series. It's a bit chopped to make it look like he stopped Maidana from knocking him out, but it was actually to stop for the bell. Floyd even said he got fucked up on that punch. What's controversial is Maidana got a legit knockdown and Kenny's like.. nahhhhhh....

Who will be Money's last payday? Amir? Broner? Maybe that can Paulie? Rios? Bradley? Vargas? Shieett... Kell Brook has the IBF title but that sucker has been fed cans.. we'll see.

Can't see those vids at work but I'll check em out later, Maj.

As for Money's last payday, who knows. I doubt that Mayweather would really put his undefeated record at stake against someone who'd actually have a chance to beat him. However, it would be a shame if he did end up taking an L though

Wouldn't that be fucking hilarious if he did.. it's happened to so many. My guess would be Kell Brook to unify his championships. He's currently the WBA, WBO and WBC champ. He was the IBF champ but he let it go back in '06.

I'm addicted to King of Thieves by the same company who did Cut the Rope. Completely different genre though, but I've went as far as use a dedicated phone (old smartphone) I had laying around to make a bot to play it for me.
