    So I've been hearing a clunk in the rear of my car for a little while. I did see that one of the struts was bad in the back. Sooooo.... Tonight I started putting the new struts on. Got the front ones done. (just happened to have a set of Prodrives laying around). Then I got to the back ones. The first one I got to was really tight. The axle is in the way of getting to them (easily). So, right now, I have an appointment for an alignment tomorrow at 2. I need some help. If possible, tomorrow morning would be great.

    WRXboy2003? Maperformance? GrimmSpeed? Can I bring it to your shop? Anybody want to make a few bucks? Can you help in the morning? I'd love to get this done before my appointment at 2.

    Thanks,
    Derek

    LOL...

    Yeah, I have car care for church in the AM and a suspension job in the afternoon. If you still need we can hook up around 4pm....but you'd have to change your appointment...
