Seth, what did you use to clean it? You have to be careful not to use something that would take off the coating. A little too late to tell you that, but that may be the problem. You really ought to bring your car by to let me have a look at it. I need to check all of your mounts and did you call Marty about the axles? All of us New Englanders need to get together again, I am about to do some brake stuff and Shawn needs his warped brakes done too. I am about to drop my car so I am doing springs, struts and brakes all at the same time. Anyone else up here need anything done?
