Took 1552 and got an alignment today. I think it is safe to say she is actually now roadworthy! I'm so excited!

No clue. After they are off and cleaned up, I'll likely post them on here. Need to make sure the threads and/or perches aren't damaged. I think corrosion on a Chicago car is why I couldn't get them to adjust but if hitting the threads with a wire brush and pb blaster can't get the perch...

The ride quality sucks for an old guy like me. Car bounces and bounds over bumps like a lowrider on hydraulics. Some adjustment might have improved it, but I went to lift the car and the perches seem pretty frozen which caused the spanner to bend.

1552 has sat for over a month. After bleeding the clutch hydraulics, I had no improvement on the situation that lead to them being replaced. I finally ponied up this week and had the clutch replaced. Found my problem in the process. So... That will be fixed by this afternoon. Also having...

Good seller, btw. I received the above items in a fair time frame and at a great price!

1552 received a new clutch master and slave yesterday. FYI, this is a two person job unless you like to cuss. A lot. Main issue was getting the rod from the pedal into the piston while mounting. Once you get past that, it isn't that bad other than getting to the nut at the top of the master...

Center caps for wheels, engine cover and passenger side rear floormat shipped to 47136?

Center caps for wheels, engine cover and passenger side rear floormat shipped to 47136? Manifold heat shield as well if it is still available.

Maybe. Part number was one I found on here in multiple threads. K80104 for 01-04 Escapes.

Started the passenger side endlink job this morning and learned a valuable lesson. Check the items in the boxes before you start the job. I was shipped a counterfeit Moog link for the rear. Luckily, I at least looked at it before I tore the rear apart. The difference was apparent as soon as...

Do the Escape endlinks they said. It'll be fun they said. I must have missed where they said it would be over an inch longer than stock. I did like that they are cheaper, but they are no beefier than the correct part number Moog links going on the back, so I'd imagine the correct Moog front...

I've been busy this week. 1552 got a new oil pan, had an exhaust leak at the downpipe sorted, and got new tires. Today, I took some time and buffed out the paint on the roof and trunk. I also took it and got the transfer finalized and the plates in route. Started to get something...

I relate on so many levels. Only, my purchase of the MSP was an attempt to stop daily driving the RX8 as opposed to selling it, and I still have to be able to haul 2 kids and not hate life driving an appliance. I think you made a great choice.

Oil is changed on 1552. Source of the leak has been found. Lower oil pan has rusted through. Yay. I need to figure out if it is something I can tackle on stands at home or if I need to farm it out. First quote from a local shop was just over $800. Is changing the lower pan significantly...

Spent all day cleaning jams today. 1552 had been sitting, undriven since June as told by seller but it looks like longer, under a couple of trees. Every body gap was filled with leaves, twigs, acorns, and sap residue. Thick black nasty stuff. Decided to work on the interior along side so I...

Coils, plugs, wires, and PCV valve fixed my issue so I'm running good again and I got a new stereo installed. Well an old stereo that has been in the garage for many years, but it works so a great improvement. 1552 marches on.
