I drove #3406 on the road for the first time Thurs. morning. I was going to the get the alighnment done. At first I was very nervous, after a couple of miles I decided to give her some gas! Wow, what a sound! Forget the stereo idea! Anyway, about 2 miles down the road I hear something fall out of the engine compartment and bounce around under the car! Holy Shit, easy on the brakes and watch the guages. everything seemed ok so I continued to the shop thinking I might have missed some kind of something laying around under the hood. I went to the shop and pulled her on the rack. The tech hooked her up and crawled under, he informed me that I was missing 2 nuts from the adjustable A arms. I really meant to tighten those a long time ago!
Needless to say, I am one very lucky person, if those bolts went up instead of down, I would be toast!
This should serve as a lesson to everyone! No matter how much you think you have checked it, check it again!!!
I consider myself very lucky and I know that someone was looking out for me.
One very important lesson learned. This may be a kit, but definatley, not a toy!
Be safe everyone, enjoy your hard work but be safe!
She goes for paint next week!
