Worked a bit on Aerocivic today! I started on the driver's side.








Even though the wheel bearings felt fine, I went ahead and ordered a pair of Timken front bearings (no sense in taking it all apart again soon, just going to do it all at once), and I'll drop them off with the knuckles and lower ball joints to have them pressed in. Lower and upper control arms replaced, axles replaced, all bushings replaced. I had to cut the tie rods in half to get them out, but those are replaced now.

I also began to assemble an MPGuino. The SuperMID that's in the car works, but it reads exactly half the real fuel economy (limit of adjustment) and the screen is getting rather tired.
