We'll have to look for one in that little shop on the left side of the road

I really wish my suspension didn't pop and squeak every two seconds.

A lotta words.... I'm lazy and I'm pretty sure it needs more than just grease, but I've checked things are tight and what not. I think it's these endlinks I got from Stazi, though even though they make noise, they seem to work good. I really gotta find a place to test my car out before I come up there. Might have to go back home to test it on some of the roads I'm familiar with. Everything I found around here is straight and flat.

Well on your way through Chattanooga, I'll take you around some of our roads. You'll get a pretty good work out before the Dragon.

I need some practice before then. Also might have to tweak tire psi, tighten anything that comes loose,etc.

My rear suspension was upgraded, but didn't really squeak. The problem isn't the Stazi endlinks, it has more to do with the cheap metal used on our car. I paid $200.00 to have a local shop (ATI Motorsports) re-inforce it. This shop also does the V8 conversion on the Focus as well and they've done a half a dozen CSVT's already, so they know the problem. Good luck with your ride, I'm sure you'll get it all straighten out.


Eric-break down and get those rear disc installed and/or get some new shoes back there BTW, check out the cabins too.

Man Roger, I would if I had the parts. Quit thinking I've got neat safety upgrades laying around. The only stuff I have yet to install is important stuff like go-fast goods. No rear discs for me.


And why would I want to stay in a cabin when I live 1.5 hours away? Or 1 hour away on I-75?


You're crazy Roger. You shoulda got your head adjusted while at the shop! LOL!
