I've done it a few times. You don't have to completely drop the rear subframe, just loosen the two large (22mm iirc) nuts and get a touch of play. The rears really aren't that bad. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks, will do.

I just found myself from 2010:
http://www.6crew.com/forum/showthread.php?6394-DIY-Rear-Shock-Install-*Under-Construction*

subbed for future reference

I've still got perfectly good MS6 shocks and springs if you're interested, Nate.

The shocks were replaced recently before Jake bought it. I've got the receipts at home I can double check the mileage with.

I'll keep them in mind. Not in a hurry to do anything since everything is still in working order. Just got bored at looking at Camaro suspension stuff since I'm 99% on the direction I'm going there.

Good enough. You're in.

I have a few pics of that car from Daytona a few years ago. I'll have to look for them.

I are confused. Wasn't "Evil Monkey" a user name on here?

Your house looks awesome.

Your house looks awesome.

I agree.

 

[Kiseliok]

My guess is that those are condos?
Or you have a huge family.


or you are a baller. Which is cool too.
Looks like a damn fortress. haha

Looks expensive and difficult to maintain, but that's just the home owner in me.

slow day in here, What's everyone's plans for the weekend?

I'm going to be doing oil changes on both the Escape and Wagon, Napa has their synthetic on sale for $3.49

And we're going to potty train Kennedy all weekend.

 

[THE Phen]

I want to do nothing. Probably going to hole myself up at home and wrench on the Bavaria. I've had problems de-stressing and have been on the attack of people. I don't like that.

 

[bigsho]

Working all day today, no plans for weekend. Might try and catch up on sleep

 

[WillD]

I'm headed to Wilmington to autocross this weekend.

 

[princess peach]

@ 4AM tomorrow I'm headed to Lebanon, PA to have the MSM tuned. A few hours later I'm heading back, so I should be back home around 7 or 8PM...

Sunday I don't think I'll be up to driving, but I might go to the range to have some sights installed and may go to a miata meet

Take pics to update you thread.


And after reading some of the OMS posts and following comments, I would like to take this time to apologize for any noob-ness that led to arrogance I might have had when I joined this forum. It's getting really annoying to read anything on there and the main reason why I don't post. I'd like to think I was just annoying with my crazy ideas about the MSP and what car to get next but if it falls into that category I would also like to apologize for that as well.


Side note- looking at Napa's website, the Escape & Wagon have slightly different sized oil filters even though they are the same 3.0L Ford Duratec engine

 

[tweiss3]

Wife works this weekend, so I'm going to my dads to hang out, he hasn't seen Tony in a while. We are going to do a valve cover gasket on my sister car while I am there.

 

[Perro del Sol]

Going to install Lauri's exhaust and Top Mount......or just relax, as this looks like the last week of nothing scheduled to do. Nate and Phen, as you get older things change and as the old saying goes, "youth is wasted on the young"! You see things in a different way, as you mature...this generation and its sense of entitlement, gets to me...I just sit back and laugh when reality kicks them in the ass and they get so confused and lost........

 

[pmartz16]

Have school then a little bit of wrenching tonight, wrenching all day Saturday and selling my old rsb, then Sunday is homework and gf day. Hoping to get the car mostly put back together this weekend if not running.

Your 2nd guess wins. Six kids (all sons).
Looks bigger than it is.
Fortress? I wish. Exterior is EIFS stucco. Could shoot through it with a pellet gun. If the blue helmets come for me I'm dead.
