This time I have a Dodge Avenger… initial feel is better than Maliboooo, at least it doesn't have the 20 -degrees play on the steering on EACH side like the Malipoo… but the susprnsion of this car is just weird~~ feels like its nose rise when braking n dive when accelerating.... something like that……

That's right -- I am the "master-repper" (master-other-stuff too).

hi mr.alcheng! sorry to hear about your canvas woes.

Its a broken 7s26 movement. Taking it apart to see if I can repair it.

I'm upset because I need a watchmakers screw driver set and they cost hundreds of dollars. Not worth it when a 7s26 replacement is only 50!

More than likely I'm just gonna scrap it or keep it for parts.

Dropped my baby off at the shop this morning for a wheel balance and alignment. Hit a rather huge piece of wood yesterday while exiting the highway at 70 mph. Fun times.

Did you take it to NTB? If not, I just wanted to remind you that you can get unlimited alignments for 5 years for about $250 and it can be transferred to one other vehicle during the term.
