Took the Blazer in for an inspection and front end alignment. Passed inspection, but he couldn't do the alignment. He said the 2 lower ball joints and idler arm was bad.

Ball joints were easy to swap out, that damn idler arm is sure a PITA. Had to remove most of the smog pump to get to the 2 bolts on the frame.

Now I have an ABS light on. Hmmm, which wire did I break now?

had abs codes on my yukon and bonnie so i heard that you can get dirty/salty especially were they salt alot. but i couldnt get any of the sensors out with out breaking them and had to replace the hubs. expensive but at least the codes are gone and i got my abs back

Worked on bubba yesterday...Here is a teaser oh you can see my new lighs also in this pic
there will be a full write up when im done today got sidetracked with everybody elses crap yesterday

Just got the last of the parts delivered to get my suspension completely re-done.

Front LCAs, and rear uppers. Going into the shop next week to have them all replaced and the whole thing 4 wheel aligned. The drivers rear upper took a big hit. Its bent pretty bad, so the car really doesn't want to go straight without a lot of input. The tire had a nice chunk of tread taken out as well, so that got replaced.
Stupid lower passenger side LCAs were on national backorder, even through Rock Auto. Just came FedEx about 10 minutes ago. Yippee. Tons of parts.
Only car guys get excited about a porch full of new car parts.

This car should handle on rails when everything is said and done!
Not many Buicks you can say that about!

cleaned all the salt off the cars, i think it may stop snowing for a while finally
