I thought you were swapping out some bushings to solve the problem.

I was but I still need to buy them. I actually am going to try the ball joints first. Not a huge deal for me because nothing else appears to be affected. the car runs well anyways 8.44 at 85.95 so until something breaks... crosses fingers knocks on wood.

meh they were color sanding the car, and taking car of a few other issues i have had, i am kind of worried, after paint and clear the car has pretty big dips in the paint, like a gold ball or orange, but rather then just calling it orange peel, this is random, no paticular pattern just a bunch scattered all over, they assured me that after color sanding the car will be perfect. well needless to say, not a very good image to go home to for the weekend. shitty but whatever

i'm pretty sure that's normal after a clear coat, that's what rubbing compound takes care of... i think
