Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

got this iin the mail today - still wanna see how good it is, i gave the big OBDII bluetooth, but this one is super mini

Decided to let the GP sit so I could wash and drive the other car:

Washed her yesterday

Today my window switch decided to break all of a sudden. The part of the switch that makes the initial contact, well, quite making contact from some little piece of plastic coming off. Rednecked it by breaking off the switch to get to the mechanism then using a screw driver to close the contacts so I wouldn't get robbed tonight. So sometime soon I'll get a new switch.

Tomorrow I'll probably order some new Konis for the front.

rotate your tires before you go back, tires if worn un evenly can make the car drift. been there. even with a dead on alignment.

Yeah. Crazy eh. Saw no movement myself.

Yeah. But woulnt rotating cause more possible issues?

the rears should have been running correctly, and tend to wear flat across the tire, unlike a front tire thats been out of alignment.

my fronts were all un even so i rotated them before i went in for the last alignment i got. ill run the fronts on the back till they wear flat and even, then rotate them back to the front.

my 03 gmc had 33's on it, the front tires would cup by 5 to 6000 miles, so i'd rotate them every 2 months as i did 3,000 a month, but after each rotation it made the front end feel like new again. (so the fronts would wear back to flat and even being used on the rear.)

So i should swap them to the front, then take it back to have them realign it?
or rotate them and say screw the redo becuase its fine its just my tires?

flip them and see how it feels, if your still not happy take it back to be checked over again.

if its pulling to the right or left, swap front tires around, if the same thing happens to the other side now, its the tires for sure.

a shop did that to prove to me it was the tires. not the alignment.

i figure ill rotate em and give it a few days, i highly doubt they would begrudge me not coming back right away.
