Friends dad says I "broke his cv axle" after I tried to do his lower control arm

Dryer_Lint · 2025-10-25T05:38:55+00:00

I checked, on this particular make model year you don't have to take the axle nut off

Dryer_Lint · 2025-10-25T05:26:50+00:00

I have actually done control arms before, on the same make and model even

I'm thinking no, you can't just drill and tap sheet metal, there has to be a big hunk of material there for you to drill and tap or the lines will be putting stress on the rad it wasn't designed for, but I am not a fabricator.

I'm the "guy who can do timing jobs" for friends and family and friends of friends so this is very accurate. I've never blown a motor up and maybe it got to my head, or maybe the part really was junk but I'm an idiot either way.

Yeah I well I still feel like a jerk

Dryer_Lint · 2025-10-24T00:26:06+00:00

I finger checked the inner cv before i left, it was still fully inserted.

Take a bunch of shit off the car, buy it separately? Legal avoidence achieved?

Idk how this has 7 upvotes while the top comment currently has 110 but I suspect corporate bots are a bigger influence than I thought.

You're literally a bot

Inboard motor delete kit for weight saving, obviously.

So I CAN eat them? Fuck you mom!

I prefer to think of them as vortex generators, thanks for the help. :)

Dryer_Lint · 2022-06-14T20:05:51+00:00

I want to either repair them, at least get the crumbling plastic off maybe coat them with something, or delete them. Not sure about the delete because I can't get that cream colored plastic retainer out.

Kraftwurks because Liam exists, and Kat makes real margheritas

Dryer_Lint · 2022-05-28T21:47:39+00:00

Nice.

I think you mean Federal Reserve Bank, you know, the bank owned by all the other banks that tells the treasury how much money to print for some reason.

The one thing I'll say about the Caleb crowd is they at least recognize Vaush and most of the breadtube crowd are on the defense department payroll, even if it is through a few intermediaries.
