Re: Motor Meter or Quail
They will even steal your regular radiator cap.
Doesn’t matter where you live. If you leave your car in a parking lot, your asking for trouble.

Re: Wishbone question
Fine a new axel that is not bent.
I had a wish bone that did the same thing.
I had the axel straighten, everything fit fine.
Enjoy.

Re: Prices going through the roof?

Re: Front and Rear Brakes, Drums
How were your brakes working before you took everything apart?
Your shoes along with everything else look great.
