Something's wrong.

Last night I was driving on 696 when it felt like I had a flat front drivers side tire. It was pulling and making flopping sounds. Pulled over, nothing. Everything looked normal. Shook the car and the wheel. Nothing. Ball joint doesn't look weird.

Took it out for errands after work (biking to work this week) and drove around in circles. It clicks when turning sharply left. CV joint? I can't wait to spend another $50 on this car.

Rear camber arms and the lowering springs arrived yesterday so I plan on fixing whatever's wrong and installing the suspension parts, then getting it aligned.

Within five years this pos will be totally rebuilt, lol.

Oh, and apparently you can convert automatic window doors to manual windows pretty easily so I will try to pick up a not screwed up door soon. Gotta watch the budget though

Also considering a more subtle UFO Recovery Bureau paint job. Might do it tonight. Might not.
