a weekend with my new suspension
its tight, man is it tight. I gotta get used to it for sure.
One thing is that now interior bits shake and rattle and I hear that some things need to be tightened. For one my glove box handle. OH MY GOD! That sound is getting annoying of that rattly little sqeak. Can I do anything about that like tighten it? And I think some door panels are loose. I think I may try to sound proof some of it as best as possible.
Well the results I am pleased with. The alignment could have been better but oh well.

Tightening up the panels is not what you need...
you have too find out why it's rattling. Something rubbing against another? There is not much adjustment on the glove box handle.
The door cards do have adjustment features thou. Audi used small pieces of velcro like material and what appears to be a filler material made of some sort of mulched material. You may have lost some of it through the passing of time.
Check it out. As for the alignment coulda been better? It either was done to spec or not, what happened?

it was ok.
I was there with the guy the entire time I was in the Sears work bay for 3 hours. I even help the guy to release the tie-rods. They let me use the impact to tighten a few things that my then weak muscles couldn't. I've never seen an alignment done so I was quite interested.
I had to get a tire patched and it was all under warranty as well. Not too bad if you ask me. I get aligment for the life of my tires. I think I may go back to try to get it perfet, since its pulling to the left, before I drive to TO on Thursday.

of mine?
yeah, I'll get to posting all of it. Its been busy for me recently patching up some small car issues after this GINORMOUS job.
I'm gonna try to replicate a picture that I really like with mine too if I can find the time.
