Wake up, kids feed kids, get kids dressed for daycare, put Brian in baby carrier. Buckel him in. Remove him from babby carrier, change diaper, return to carrier and buckel him in. Get Carlees coat. Remove Brian from carrier and change diaper! Again! Buckel him in. Hed out to car with baby carrier in right hand, Carlee in front of me, lunch box in right hand, coffee maker under right arm and slide out door! Screen door handle catches belt loop and stops me in my tracks! I cant twist to unhook myself. I cant bend over to set Brian down! I cant back up because I locked and closed the door and my keys are in the runniong car! Start cursing!!!!! Drop luch box! (it spills) rip belt loop from pants! Kick lunch box across yard! Load kids in car and get a lecture about "naughty words" from my lil Punkin and she tells my I am getting a "timeout" and no "treat" after dinner. I apologize and we head to daycare.

Get to work, explane why I'm late and we all get a good laugh. Kid drops off gas for his truck. I pull it in start alignment. He put 4 new ball joints in it and DIDN'T TIGHTEN THE NUT FOR THE STUD TAPER!!!!!! He put the cotter keys in though! Guess thats all it takes. I torque all the bolts. remove brake calipers to untwist the brake hoses. try and set camber and caster. and there is no nuts or cams on the uper control arm on the right side. Did I mention this pos has 35 inch tires a 6" of lift!!!! How do these kids not die doing this shit!

My week was bad enough, but damn I feel better now.

By the way, I cringe everytime someone informs me they installed their own chassis parts.

<Jumps up and waves enthusiastically> "Me! Me! I did! I did!"
Do you think I needed new strut mounts?

A real mechanic could've fixed the old ones.

What stupid f'in engineer decided that cast zinc mounts would work on a steel bodied car? The replacements are e-coated but still.....

The one that didn't design them. It would have been the one that the bean counters went to and said, "This is great, but how can we make it a bunch less expensive and still get through the warranty period?" It's all about the nickel. My Mom's '08 Malibu is a great car--never a lick of trouble--but I swear, the guys that did E-body door panels would be proud of themselves after looking at what little advancement had made it to the production line in terms of plastics in 39 years. Were it not for advancements in sound-deadening materials, those doors would sound more hollow than a '70 Challenger's.

We found out Wednesday at the shop that the flywheel on a 2006 Mazda RX8 is not only the sealing surface for the rear main seal is but is on a large tapered shaft with a large square key and held on with one giant nut measuring 2-1/8" across torqued to 289-361 lbs-ft of torque. Just plain weird. :wtf:

It's always something with those Asian cars.

My week was positively uneventful. I feel pretty good about that now!
