So what, I already spent a ton on the car (purchase price+gas+insurance+tires and other wear items) I might as well enjoy it. Otherwise, I am spending way more trading it for a bimmer because I hate its stock handing...
-pavel.
-pavel.
true indeed i hear ya bro
but again be careful with altering those mounting bolts and/pr adding to them , i inspected my rack today with my son turning the steering wheel and i see no movement within that area but i did see about a 1/8 inch side to side movement from the pass area where that grommet binds the rack , so i ordered a new grommet today to replace it tomm before having a high end alignment done

i will take some pics tomm the grommet costs about $20 and grips around the rack in a bracket
they wear out due to hot and cold cyling and water and oils
