It really didn't become an issue until after Randy installed the H-sports and Koni Yellows at AMVIV4. One of the delrin bushings was installed (Brian) backwards and was starting to creep out when I first had the swaybar installed the year before and Randy re-installed correctly this year. Then it developed a clunk that was linked to one of the heim joints, which Randy replaced. Once that was replaced, I was still getting the squeek/groan like a dry, metal on metal "creak" and installed the TSW droplinks, which didn't cure the noise all that much. So with the droplinks removed, the bar didn't pivot smoothly in the bushings and that's why I pulled it all apart and put the antisieze on it. The TSW droplinks are a little short for my liking, so I may go back to the WMS droplinks. I was just getting tired of jacking up the car, removing the wheels, testing/troubleshooting, for what seemed like every other day. I'm going run with the way it is now to see how long it lasts.

That little 4 letter word..."WORK" has been kickin' my butt, but hope to be back out there soon.

When you are the Project Mgr., Field Service Technical Support, Installer and all around "grunt" from Fresno to Redding + Reno, makes for a long day.

Sorry about that. Next week would be better. We have 2 MINIs in here right now to get done.
Drop it off one night, or 1st thing in the morning, and we will get it done.

The area is on the old Applegate/Lassen Emigrant Trail and from some of the spots I've seen I wouldn't want to have ridden a wagon train in the 1840s and 50s through there. I'll tell you more sometime.

I have to disagree theres no such thing as good coffee.

HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY RIGHT HEADLITE. IT DOES NOT AUTO ADUST AND LEVEL. I HAVE NOT PLACED THE CAR ON STANDS AND CHECKED THE AUTO LEVEL SENSORS YET. MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH MY SLIDING INTO THE WEEDS THE OTHER DAY? I HATE THE IDEA OF A 3 HOUR DRIVE TO THE DEALER IF I CAN REMEDY THE PROBLEM. ANY IDEAS?

Be sure and pull all the durt and plants out from under there when you get under there too... The dealer might ask questions.

If it were both lights, I would suspect the level sensor. But, since it's only on one side, I suspect it's a problem with the light itself. Check the connector going into the light assembly.
