So i just gave the suspension a once over..
- Locking nut is tight
- Coilover is dry as can be ( )
- No balljoint play
- Outer tie rod has some movement (replaced last year )
- Inner tie rod boot is greased up
Assuming the clunk is the tie rod & more than likely need a new rack…

Well got the car checked out & the suspension passes the test, except there's "slight" play in the passenger lower balljoint (replaced last year with OEM )...
Tech gave me his professional opinion & says it most likely the strut but can't confirm without taking it all apart..
Contacted D2 and it's $130 US for a replacement strut which isn't bad but still a piss off considering they're just over a year old..

I THINK you passed me on the hwy last Saturday approaching Burloak. You went North, I was heading South.
You were right behind me getting on the QEW from Bronte.....if it was you.
You have your OEM winter wheels on, now?

Pics of your hella sunk movement? lol
Also I have a question about the axle thing. Ive replaced my pass side axle on the TL, but the drivers side is still the OG unit then I lowered the car with coils and I'm getting a little wobble at around 30km/hr. Ive read that its most likely the older axle is tired and the geometry/angle of the old axle is being thrown off from lowering. Did you experience this and did you experience the car wanting to sort of dive to the side with the newer axle?

I'm almost at peace with it now ..So many little things the car needs, drive me nuts
Definitely need an alignment before winter really kicks in, shit wanders on the highway

Haven't updated in a bit. Here's a couple winter grime pics...
Managed to find a wrecked RL locally and went to go grab the windshield trims since mine flew off on the highway due to broken clips..
To my surprise the interior was completely intact and found this little gem… Not bad for a whopping $50
PS.. Such a great feeling knob, love how it feels in my hand, soo smooth..

Contemplated selling it for a decent profit but it feels too damn good.
Now I'm on the lookout for the matching wheel..
It's a Yakima rack. The snowboard attachments are Thule from my old CL-S

Finally got around to install the J37 IM/TB (09' RL) that I've had waiting to go on. It's literally bolt on and go. The only difference between the manifolds is that the J37 doesn't have the IAT sensor in the manifold so I just ziptied it to the engine harness till I get around to relocating it.
Here's some pics, the J37 TB is HUGE..
J35 TB Stock
J37 TB Stock
While I was in there I also took the intake resonator out and dropped in a much needed K&N filter
It's been a few days for the ecu to adjust & the car moves with much less effort. I do a lot of city driving so that's a plus but the car REALLY comes to life at highway speeds, too much fun.
