work on your car. brother helped me out a few weeks back. told me he tightened them down. there are 2 bolts that bolt the crossmember to the tranny. both of them were backed almost all the way out. now i know what the banging was from. my fault for believing him i guess.

on a side note, did some soldering to get my reverse lights working today. the tko 600 reverse sensor was slightly different than the stock sensor, so i had to splice the wires, solder them to the sensor, and siliconed them to keep them dry. i shoulda taken pics.

Almost biffed last weekend. Rotated tires, lugs hand tight. backed it out and parked in the driveway only to realize 20 minutes later i need to go grab the torque wrench...
