Well I do plan on tearing into them when I work on it (IF the rain stops), worst case is I still need new ones which has been planned and budgeted for anyways, so if I dont need them thats a plus, if I do well I am ready for that. Just need to go get a new jack since mine blew out the rear seal today, another reason to ALWAYS use jack stands while working under the car, seal blew out while lifting the car.

 

^^ word. I always use jackstands under the car, especially since my floor jack was a combo package from walmart with the jack, two stands, and two folding chocks for about $30...... and that was more than 5 years ago. Eventually it will get replaced with something much better, but eventually always seems like it's further away.

 

never give up too early!
