How many miles that old girl got one her now? 180k....I dont "need" them per se. If it was my work car I'd run these for another 20k but I noticed there is a little tick when you spun the bearing so it's going to fail sooner than later. Its apart so I might as well change them.

Shocking how good condition ofsome of the original parts is still. This car is in far better mechanical shape than a domestic sports car would be after 1/3rd the miles. No rattles , everything tight interior wise etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
