Could be LCA’s rear bushings or sway bar end links? Still worth looking and replacing

Today a drive out for lunch!

Could be sway bar links. But if it’s rust-free everywhere including underneath (and in yer climate it prolly ain’t,) I’ll come and get it from you. Why keep if you hate it? I prolly love it.

Unhappy Wifey's Lunch Box Trying to Save for Memories

Wifes 2010 SS was on the way to guys house for timing chain service. Vehicle has 105k miles and has been good vehicle until the day after her memorial service in January 2025. Started with losing serpentine belt that I should have replaced years ago. Belt frayed and vehicle had to be towed for replacement. Month later and hard shift, no odometer/speedometer, 3 dashes on outside temperature display. WTF Found the vehicle speed sensor wires cut in two places through the conduit. Repaired and good to go.

Fast forward to March and headed out to technician's house to drop car off for timing chain service and got caught in construction/accident traffic for almost twenty minutes and coolant temperature high message displayed. Check temperature in Info Center and it's high 250's. On goes inside heater and blower to try and get it to come down while I scan to see if I can get off the Interstate to at least start moving. Once moving got temperature to drop to ~188-195 degrees. So is coolant fan working? Finally arrive at techs house, he checks and finds coolant fans inoperative. SMDH Car continues to fight me. But I'm determined to win!

Broke out the floor jack and lug nut wrench, swapped the winter tires for summer tires, relearned the TPMS sensors and torqued the lug nuts, good to go for trip to Hamilton tomorrow for visit with new oncologist.

You're optimistic that we won't get any more snow, eh?

If we get a lot more snow this winter, I'll know who jinxed us!
