Control arms in, that passenger side inner ball joint nut is a total PIA

Not as much a 'POS' as I have come to expect when browsing r3v, haha! Good work, she looks pretty nice so far!

story of my life.

Got new universal cat and muffler last week to replace the rotting original one. Now 2 weeks later I have a nasty exhaust rattle...

Is there a common fail item on these cars that causes an exhaust rattle only under load?

Also, do I need those heat sheilds between the driveshaft and exhaust? I'm thinking of removing them to see if they are the issue...

Car looks great so far :) Though I could be wrong but it seems like the valance lip is on upside down?

Correct you are! It actually fits much better upside-down. I can't take credit, its been done before. Also, still messing with my valance. The PO bent the crap out of it and the bumper needs some adjusting...
