Looking good man. I'm jealous of your exclusive access to a lift haha. I have an inspection pit...

yea its pretty nice to have a loft but i can only work on my stuff when its stupid slow

f**k it get one for the driveway too haha. and my rear tie rods were seized up too when I did an alignment on my car.

ok n they r just called rear tie rods right?

No. They're called lateral links and some call them track bars

oops my bad. when i bought them from carquest over the phone i said tie rods and the right parts came! haha maybe i just ended up talking to a smart guy.

This video explains how to remove the oil pan. if you do this you should be able to get the motor mount out too.
