After all the work that Bill Boost37 did to the GP, I decided to go ahead and get new rubber all around and also finally get those Monroe Quick Struts Installed.
With the Quick Strut System, It literally took longer to jack up the car and remove the wheels, than to install the struts.
Out With The Old!
In With The New!
The driver's side for some reason came out even easier than the passenger side.
New Firestone 225/60/16's all around should last me a good bit.
After working the air gun up at Bill's place, Richie wouldn't let me do anything "air tool" related. Fine with me!!!
Final check to make sure all was okay and we were done. Took about one hour total with jacking and removing the wheels.
Sitting a might taller now, probably to the chagrin of some, but I need her high and tight to pull my bike and trailer back and forth to the track.
I will say that even before the alignment, the car now tracks perfectly straight, soaks up all bumps, and the steering is beautiful now. So I get back to the tire place to have her aligned, and the mechanic comes back upstairs to tell me that the driver's side hub needs replacing and that it would be senseless to do the alignment now since I'll have to do it again. DRAT!!! Oh Well! I'll order two new hubs and install them next week. And I thought I was done getting dirty!!
