What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think a lot of people would and post in the lighting thread

OMG, I want that Charger.

 

You are correct... I do have a plastic bushing at one end of the torsion spring - and I did not replace it. It wasn't exactly clear to me when I bought the replacement spring - what all came with it.

I actually ended up with 2 springs (only needing one) and it did not come with the bushing. I did not know enough to buy one separately. Oh well, at least I know the next likely point of failure, although the more likely failure point is the sleeve where the two 1/2 axels connect

I had one of them fail before and I decided to cut and re-drill the axels on the one I just replaced because it looked a little sketchy to me. I think that's due to the original installer's work - the center mount point is lower than the end points on all 3 of my doors I personally believe it causes undue stress on that joint. But... maybe that is by design too - so I left it alone. With a little luck, I'll have a new house when these next fail.

 

Alright then. Thanks for the link. Don't know my way around here just yet.

 

It takes some getting used to

 

I broke theirs, he...........broke mine.

Now to wait for it all to get here and figure out what I want next....

 

Why do people call wheels "rims?" Is that a regional thing? I was taught that the "rim" is the outside edge of a wheel.

 

Showing your age Bob! I was singing that song in my head too!

 

He does that quite often and I can relate.....

 

Just smile and nod.

 

Regional and an age thing. There is even a few tire and wheel shops in my state that is called “Rimtyme”. They rent them too. Imagine that.

 

Wheels for rent? What a novel idea.

 

And yet people do it... remember rent-a-center? Gross

 

At my age I'd just burp and fart!
