I got my car back so now I can "Tech IN" hehehehhehhe. LOLOL anyways The story goes they replaced the right front strut, and then they got smart and replaced the rack, lined it up, and then cut the front rotors. Car drives better than new! The steering is so tight! No more aclop'n and aclak'n. Better yet when i get the survey I hand it in to the Service Advisor and he'll give me $25 of gasoline!!!! And some krill for the whale!!!!!

My impressons after a week...My original rack was boarder line light.. this new rack is a bunch heavier in feel, which is something that I am more used to. I really like it alot....Still steers the same. The whole experiance thus far with my dealer has been better than average. My only grips... the Finance Manager was a douche....My car couldv'e been better prepped....And I like black but that's a hard color to manage... really wanted blue wth white interior.... But black is the Whale ........ could've have a blue whale!!!!!!!LOLOLOL. I haven't been challenged on the street yet...I guess because I don't like to engage other drivers outright...I like to let them pass and then Hang with them from behind so that they get the speeding ticketLOLOLOL Except for the early '00 Monte that wanted to show me a thing or two.... 1/3 thottle was more than enough. Anyways I got the lobster back on the road and that works beutifully and passed inspection. So I'm running both right now.
