Some badly needed work


Well, I decided to keep the car for a while, so I ordered some badly needed new struts. I got the KYB AGX 4 way adjustable in the front 8 way in the rear. I decided to go ahead and change the springs since everything would be apart anyway and decided on the Progress Springs because they have a good price, a lifetime warranty, and lowered 1.5 inches. While I was into everything I replaced the passenger side front CV axle which has been clicking since I bought the car. I knew that when I pulled the axle out, about a pint of gear lube would come out of the tranny, so I decided to put in some GM Synchromesh.

Costs
KYB AGX struts (set of 4) $360 shipped from coximport.com
Progress Springs (set of 4) $150.15 shipped from Options Auto Salon
Rebuilt CV axle with lifetime warranty $52.99 + tax from AutoZone
GM Synchromesh transmission fluid (3 qts) $30 from Mckenzee Motors (GM Dealer)

The old axle was clicking when I turned. I didn't think it was this bad. :)
