Diagnose noise

Noise from open axle

New one

Replace all 4 brake pads and rotors

S2000 exhaust (stock and new exhaust)


Install tranny mount and endlinks

Radiator found empty from the fluid level check after clutch and brake replacement

How can the unknown shop install the pilot bearing halfway in?

All 10 wheel studs damaged


The most tedious front brake replacement plus new clutch

Oil Change




Finally, an oil change after 10131 miles

Oil change & brake bleed

Leaking CV from coilover adjusted too low



Customer request to adjust coilover, but the previous adjust set spring preload too low, shocks bottom out, shock damaged

Off set 2 inches

Also off set 2 inch and leaking
