New plastic for all the wheel wells including new retainers
Cleaned up all the suspension removed underseal and cleaned up all the calipers.
I stripped all the driveshafts, cleaned and repainted the cv housings.
Front wheel wells ready to paint
Today I recieved the factory paint to spray the wheel wells and have the tools in hand to assemble the rear uprights which I made based on drawings of the tooling in the factory manual. I then measured the uprights and the bearings and the hub to get dimensions to make the tools. I will post some more pictures soon of those tools but I am really looking forward to getting a lot done tomorrow.
Here are the inserts out of the housings, you can clearly see the marking in the hardchrome of the insert where the strut has been binding. I have regreased these struts and replaced the mounts with the STI hardened strut top mounts while I was at it.
I found this unsusual flat spot today on the rear tire, it is the only one and I never locked up the brakes to cause the flat spot on the tire. I am not sure what caused it to occour but I now believe this is what the noise is that I was hearing during my trip
