Default I need a good mechanic in Baltimore Maryland .

I am in the US ARMY and I had to drive up from Ft Campbell Ky to see my terminally Ill Father (Red-cross Message) and now once again my rear end bearings are noisy as hell (second time rebuild in six months) . When you run your car at a 100 plus MPH for eight and a half hours for 758 miles something is bound to happen. I need a trust worthy mechanic, plus my pinion angle may be off ( I just installed an adjustable torque arm , pan hard bar, double adjustable lower control arms and torque arm mount relocation kit about a month ago). I would also like to get a set of long tube headers and Y-pipe installed. If any one can you point me to the right shop it would be greatly appreciated. I am taking care of my Father at night so my Mother can work her night job and not worry about my Father (their bills still have to be paid). I do not have the time or tools at my fathers house to do it while I am here and I do not want to get stranded on the side of the road on the way home, but also I do not want to pay a small fortune. If anyone can do this in their garage I would be happy to pay them cash. I can be reached at (270) 874-7121 or emailed at killed71@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Wish I could help. Unfortunately I'm not in Baltimore. How long are you on emergency leave? I'm no certified mechanic but, like many others on here I've done a few things to these cars. I'm down by Andrews AFB.

What headers are you going with?

Thanks guys, I am looking at OBX headers and resonators instead of cats (I already have O2 sims for the secondaries). I will be on leave until 04May10 or longer if he passes away.

Sorry to hear man. I lost my dad to cancer a couple years back and was in the same boat you are in. Just hang in there and be a rock for your family to lean on.

God Bless.

Update. My father is very weak and is still holding on. Unfortunately I had to return back to Ft Campbell. Rear end still noisy, but it made back to Ky, but now it has a vibration between 65 MPH and 75 MPH.
