Changed out the transmission mount yesterday. Finally my exhaust isn't knocking on the crossmember anymore!

But i did snap off one bolt on the drivers side that holds the crossmember on. Hopefully this damn rain lets up soon today so I can get outside and drill/tap a new hole.

So, after replacing the broken tierod end on my track bar the other day I noticed a God Awful scraping noise coming from the front end when I turned. Couldn't figure it out for the longest time then realized it was coming from the passenger side. I hadn't messed with that end of the track bar but, I figured what the heck. The bolt turned maybe a half turn tops then the torque wrench clicked. Batta Bing Batta bang, no more noise. I couldn't believe it being loose just that little bit was making that nasty loud scraping noise when I turned. Just goes to show you how much a TB can be effected even when just a little loose let alone adjusted wrong.

I pulled the headliner out today, was sick of it hanging on my head. The plan was to replacing it but I kind of like it without. We’ll see how hot it gets.

I pulled mine out, and I notice the noise increase more than temperature.
