[WPTA] Isolation list

[Joe Stout]

So, I finally got to play in the garage a bit today...

I started noticing a "NEW" spot on the floor under the MG - it appeared to
be near the rear drivers
side wheel.  Found the shock body pretty wet with oil, and after looking
closer actually found two
newer spots and an old one - this has been brewing for a bit apparently.

I pulled the shock today and hope to run to Jays and pickup one on Sunday
:-)

On another note - I also found that my front drivers side wheel thread was
not wearing well - after
consult with Jay - we determined that I need an alignment.  I was
recommended to see Community Motors
in Canonsburg - Anyone else have a good recommendation for a "good"
alignment person in the South Hills?

Also  - time for 4 new tires after my alignment - I am wearing evenly, but
down to between 4 & 5 32nd's

Helped the neighbor replace his window mechanism on his Hyundai today - boy
that was an adventure :-)

That is all from South Strabane....

Peace out...
Joe
