Great, so First the Alternator is shot, now after getting that replaced my steering wheel is shaking like crazy when on the road.... After 6 years I really hope this car hasn't decided to follow in my dad's Buick footsteps...
finally had a chance to pull up in front of the house, pull the wheel off and fix that scraping caliper cover. Just needed to file the ends down to increase spacing between the clip and rotor. I'd finally be back on the road, but now I'm stuck at work... Can't win :(
Thank you all for your advice, I decided to go STAGGERED. Ordered last Monday, delivered Friday, got them on Sunday. Unfortunately now I got a new problem, I added in the MGP covers, the wheels made all clearances, yet when I drive above 15 - 20 mpg there's a extremely loud screaching/scraping noise...
So far been lucky, unfortunately my friend a few blocks away has his apartment flood, his block is under 3 - 4 feet of water, luckly he got all his stuff out before it hit. Best part is his brother saying he was walking away when the basement door blew off the hinges and water gushed in like a movie. Also pretty suprised how water proof BDU pants are, walked around in that 3 feet of water only my socks got soaked lol.
Jalopnik has had a lot of interesting info on the '14.5. Apparently 2 members from ALLFORDMUSTANGS were invited to see a couple of concepts and compare it to competitors cars. What they describe sounds like its worth waiting for...
Finally got that Optima battery under the hood, yesterday. Just to lazy to update my status until tonight lol, surprised how easy it fit compared to all the negative fit comments I had heard.
