That started a long time ago lol. Not sure if you've ever experience having your key stuck in the ignition or losing loss of steering which was part of the recall btw. Anyways, if I/we could get another 6k or more miles I would be happy. If it gets to 250k miles I would be even more happy. It will still need a water pump (I think) and I think the shift solenoids might be going again but, I need to check the fluid. Timing chain was replaced once and the cylinder head was redone 10 years ago but, I don't think they touched the bottom end.

It has some rust already floors, rockers, and the back wheel lip on the passenger side and to be expected living in the Rust Belt for nearly 17 years.

Anyways, update on the hubs. The passenger side wasn't any better but, I got both front hubs replaced finally. I used I cleaned the inside of the knuckle as best as I could and used Antiseized the knuckle where the hub mounts. Thank you all again.
