    No pics, like a dumb a$$, but i did the steering clunk fix. pinned instead of tack weld. Theory being that in the event of a crash the broken tack would still not allow the steering to collapse. 5/32 roll pin. Once i figured out how it all came apart it was easy. Now i guess i need an alignment (seeing as how in 11 years i never have :-SS). Also did the axle wrap fix, with just a u-bolt clamp, made all the difference. Ill say this, if you're steering feels a bit loose, do this. OMFG WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!

    I prefer floating like a butterfly down the highway. Feels like an old Ford :rolleyes:


    I hate the sloppiness. Plan to tack mine as well. Eventually. ..

    Our spark plugs on the V6 are dual prong right? I went to Vatozone at lunch and the dude was telling me that those are no good. I told him that's how they come from the factory.

    amirite?

    What exactly did you do? Just replace the OEM pins with larger pins?

    did a bit of research and it looks like stock is a dual. I'm never going to VatoZone again :mad:

    I used a drill press. And honestly its only two allen bolts, two springs, and one bolt at the bottom. Easy as hell...hardest part i had was clamping the joint to the press. I didn't remove anything so i had the whole unit clamped down, and it got off center on the way out the other side... (shhhh! Dont tell anyone)
