Does anyone in the Detroit area have one of these that i could possibly borrow??? CD4E was recently rebuilt and engine and trans were out so i'm trying to align everything again. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could lend me one of these things! 1998 Mystique LS: -2.5 Duratec ATX -Vibrant White -------------------- =Pics= =Info=

I've just replaced/fixed so much crap at this point, i dont want to half ass this because i know that rear RR will be a PITA to get to once i put everything back together. Without the tool I dont get how its possible to know that you have the bolt in the middle of the roll restrictor...i even used a system of mirrors and i cant see crap...why the hell did they have to make the sleeve so large? 1998 Mystique LS: -2.5 Duratec ATX -Vibrant White -------------------- =Pics= =Info=
