BTW while I really like Steve's car and his mods....when I see the view from the RH drive it really throws me off. My postal carrier drives the RH drive vehicle ....don't know how he does it at work then drives a LH drive car home after work. We also have to do something with Steve's OEM stereo...just looking at it these days makes me cringe. But I am way off topic....

Agree about the stereo Bob, but I rarely use mine because I prefer to listen to the magic noise that my custom exhaust makes.

Why pay a fortune for an exhaust and listen to the radio instead...lol, but then again I do like you Beatsonic setup.

Best regards
Steve

No problem Idaho. Have to wait till the weekend though.

Thanks in advance, Wil. Gonna start with lubrication (can't hurt, right) and see if it smooths out operation. If not, it will be back to the dealer to have it diagnosed with the OBD reader as Bob indicated and see if it is throwing any fault codes.

Hi Idaho

Here you go, best I could get, very bright today.
As you can see, plenty of grease in there.

Best regards
Steve

Thanks Wil...you're a prince!

That is certainly more gooped up than what I did here in my garage the other night. That is the dealer's work, eh?

Yep, had the car six years now and never done anything in that area.
