Ride was decent . Looks like we forgot to bend that that little metal thing onthe pasenger side shock. Also I noticed when the car is at idle andI turn the steering wheel, I hear a little buzz sound like it is coming from the power steering pump or something. I'll try to figure out those lights tomorrow but overall everything is great. Learnt a lot of new stuff today

Yea man yesterday was great. I suspect there shouldnt be any real drawbacks for not bending the bad. If you think about, if we were able to bend the other one easily, the pressure on this one will eventually bend or break it. Turns out the rear side marker is shot, I hear a lot of stuff inside when I shake it. I tested them this am and the driver side works out of both sockets. I wonder if that has anything to do with the inverter that was plugged in.

I really doubt you'd see a different from us not bending that tab,'cause we already used the top bolt to hold that part so its not like its gonna be moving around. I suspected that sidemarker was just dead,but what inverter are u talking about? Did u also get to check out ur headlights too?

The inverter that was used for the laptop. As for the headlights, I just went ahead and ordered 2 bulbs as I am not trying to take off the bumper just to test. Is it normal to hear sounds coming from the shock/spring combo after install? I try to drive on the bumpy roads to see if I find faults and I can hear some sounds coming mainly from the back. The power steering sounds is gone. I think you and Justin drove the heck outta my car on the test run

Now I have to find an installer. Im definitely gonna pay if anyones interested, if not Im going to take it to ASAA. They quoted me 175 for the install.

is it only hesitating from going into drive or is it any gear?
could be the brake switch
