Did you try a 4 lb hammer and a pickled fork from harbor freight?

Drop the bracket and order an Iron Rok trackbar. Probably cheaper than Pep Boys and way better than stock.

Changed the oil for the first time since ownership a week ago then went to investigate why my passenger window motor would make noise but wouldn't do anything. The regulator cord is stripped out but that's not surprising. What was is that the previous owner (I'm assuming) wedged a sawed off broom handle in between the door floor and the base of the window to keep it from falling.

Once it cools off (I hate the heat), I'll see what I can do about it and change some spark plugs just because.

I got them to do it for 64 bucks. Not too bad in my opinion. I couldn't get over the steering to drop the bracket.
