Starring to do my next round of maintenance. This go around I'm doing both front control arms, power steering pump, alignment, and new tires all around.
New PS pump should be here in 1-2 weeks. Went with a Tuff Stuff unit from summit after reading some promising reviews on them.
For the control arms I went with some Mevotech units off RockAuto.
Still undecided on tires. Probably downsizing to 305/30 in the rear, and keeping the 285/30 in the front.

Are you downsizing because of size availability or some other reason?
Nice, the Mevotech arms are a decent piece at a real good price.
I agree! Can't beat the price. Couldn't spring for any UMI ones just yet lol

Mostly cost and availability. The 325s I have on there now I got for my old 19x12 C6Z wheels, so I just transferred them to these 19x11s. Figured it'll clear up what little rubbing I have as well.

Finished up the install today! Gotta love when you have a smooth install with no hiccups.
Decided to add a power steering cooler while we were in there. Went with a Derale 13224 cooler behind the air dam after reading many of the PS cooler threads on here.
Front tires came in as well. Just waiting on the rears to get here and then get them mounted, balanced, and then get an alignment!
Here is a little sneak peak at a project I've been wanting to tackle for a while...
Designing and 3D printing a side mirror bracket for the TA to remedy the floppiness of the broken stock ones. Still in the fitment/prototyping phase, but it's coming along!
Got the first working prototype installed on the car. Could still use a couple more tweaks in the model and in the print settings but it's at a good spot.
In it's current form it takes right at 5 hours to print. It was sturdy when I put some weight on it, we'll see how it fairs in every day driving situations.
Looks good, that bracket looks impressive. Any way to cut the process time down?
Thanks! Yeah there is a few ways playing with the print settings, supports, and the model itself. I don't foresee it cutting it down more than 30ish minutes though
Had to switch power steering pumps because my replacement pump was whining. They only had polished pumps in stock so that's what I ended up with unless I wanted to wait. New pump sounds a lot better!
Got around to installing the driver side mirror bracket. Been very tricky getting the ABS to stick to the printer but I finally got it. Took a few tries lol
