I took out the stock cooler a while back before I added the auxiliary cooler, so I hope not lol. This rack is a AC Delco reman from rock auto, little over 2 years old I think.

May just bite the bullet and get a TurnOne rebuild

Flushed my power steering and added new synthetic fluid. Seemed to help at first, but sure enough the creak came back.

Tentative plan is to search for a core and send to TurnOne and then replace the rack, motor mounts, and oil pan gasket at once.

you are sticking running your stock engine mounts? Probably nothing left of the rubber in there. Lol.

Latest example in the gauge pod series. Had someone ask me for one with room for TCS switch. It was tight, but Was able to incorporate everything into the plate.

Car was riding noticeably rougher, and making some noise from the right rear. I got under and noticed the lower bushing on my Koni was gone.





after I removed it the stud basically fell off. The shocks have certainly seen better days, though they are pretty up there in age. Replaced it with a brand new Koni Yellow.

ordered the other rear shock last night.l too. Going to be looking at the fronts ones soon as well

lol I thought about it! I couldn’t justify almost twice the cost though. Figured I could put that money towards better tires or something.

Did I mention I got a TurnOne rack? Need to find a weekend to install that

I will! Think they have a 6 week lead time right now. I was luckily able to find a new one on marketplace here. Which I’m thankful for bc I really didn’t want my car to be sidelined for 6 weeks

Got in a nice run with a 2018 RS5. Quick cars! Ran from maybe 65-115 and we were really close, I had him by maybe a fender/door. He said it was stock. Ole LS1 still putting in work!
