I know. I cant believe it.
It feels so good to go outside and start her up.
I need to go through the passenger side and see whats causing the shake on that side.
The new coolant sensor will be here soon. That will get rid of my CEL and blinking D4.
I am going to be saving money up to rebuild the front end. Bushings. Paint, and Brakes. Also lowering the rear another inch and a half. I want to get it sorted out and painted before I buy rims. I do want to get those sunflowers from AAPOQ, sometime soon.

It feels so good to say that its driving.

warped rotors?
unbalanced wheels?
ball joints?
tie rods?
bad tires?

Im going to rule out the tires on the front, their great.
The back ones are real bad. Ball joints are a good possiabilty,they looked pretty bad on both sides. Tie rods also, replaced the boots for the tie rods. I am going to double check every nut and bolt. I am sure the aligment is bad. I had the front end ripped apart lol.

You need a sander. Eliminate all rust. prime and paint.
I don't really know how to teach something like this without being right there with you...
