01.24.08 Replaced front axle shafts

The car was still making some nasty noises in the front suspension such that I was scared to drive it. I took it in to Jeff's and figured it was the passenger CV joint. It turns out they were both bad and they were replaced. Suspension is much better with no horrendous noises emanating out of the front in. $423.00
forgot to have him check the master brake cylinder as I think it needs to be replaced. In stop and go with regular use the brakes fade to the floor and will only work with pumping.

12.13.08 Oil change

I have decided it would be a good idea to add maintenance and repairs to the blog so I can see what I have done and when. So this is the first oil change. I also thought that maybe the wheel bearings were bad but they checked out fine. After talking with Jeff it is likely the CJ joints/axle and I will have to take it in then. Got off pretty easy. $40
