[-$MOKIN-]

You always have the nuclear option. Get an angle grinder with a cut off wheel. Cut the bolt out. Then replace the alternator and bracket.

Hahaha i would kilt it with a 5 pnd sledge from the side and replaced what ever i broke .. with this one...LOL
Look at it...

RAZR ...
You might wanna do a complete walk around thew your engine and check all of your grounds ...You have alot of condensation in there bro..Grab a wire brush and hit a couple little rust spots around with it. Spots that look like that and then afterward shoot it with some wd40.

What happened ?

what do u feel to blame on ur self?

but he also replaced both axles fixxed my idle issue and replaced all the belts accesory belts so it not to bad but still expensive

actually he didnt really get me cause the bottom knuckle bolt is fused to the knuckle so he had to disasemble the axle but it in and reassemble the axles were 78 a piece. it prolly would have been cheaper if i had gotten the parts but the only thing that i have let is the brakes and then i will hopefully be maintence free for a awhile. and yeah WHEELS!

if it only started after he replaced the axles i would take it back to the mechanic. be sure to be really nice to him and ask him to take it for a test drive and look it over. explain to him that none of this happened before you had the work done. if you outright acuse him its likely he'll be an *sshole and it won't get you anywhere. if he tries selling you more crap find another mechanic, and get a second opinion. i'm glad you got the other stuff fixed by the way

Yeah it did happen after he put the axles in
And he is a trust worthy mechanic

well then it sounds like you shouldn't have much trouble gettin him to take care of it. i'm not sure what it could be, but the axles are directly connected to your tranny. i wouldn't be driving it until he looks at it; you don't want to tear something up due to a possible improper install. on an unrelated note, are you planning on stock replacement brakes or do you think you'll be upgrading?

I'm planning on vetting brembo blanks for my rotors and I haven't decided what pads I want. Any suggestions on pads??
Y do u ask what kind of brakes I want???
(I'm just curious)

mine need to be replaced as well and i haven't decided which route to take, thats all. i will prob just buy some cheapo pads and shoes until i can afford the rear disc swap and 11'' rotors up front(still doing my research on what caliper). i'm not sure what kind of options if any we'd have for pads, w/ using stock calipers


www.ebcbrakes.com has performance "greenstuff" pads listed for our cars. didn't see any prices but might be something worth looking into for ya

[RAZR]

EBC would be good but it depends on you whatever you like to do with your car... or ask some guide on whats the best pads to have, since your in Illinois ask some of the best mechanic in some Illinois auto repair shops...

I actually wound up not getting brembo blanks because they do not get very good reviews. I got Napa rotors and the best pads they had. I would have gotten ebc pads. Put they were a special order and they would take 8 - 10 weeks for delivery so I decided just to go with Napa.
