Yep, is that a problem?

Yep. Most of the cars might be the same, but there are always new ones. And the drive is always fun. Which was the main point of my comment.

David and I thought you'd be impressed with the amount of old cars that were running...
Figured you'd ask them how to get your fleet back up and going.

Lolz. I've been to that meet before. Same cars every week for the most part. It was definitely cool the first time though.

Heard and saw a Lambo Countach S, Jaguar XK150, Jaguar E-Type, DeTomaso Pantera (600whp), and an Aston Martin DB4 GT racecar this morning, among other cool cars. I can die happy now.

Y'all missed out.

Thanks everyone for the help. I will look at it tomorrow and see whats up. I am assuming they have never been replaced like everything else on my car. I'll let you all know what I find.

[iamsam]

Yeah, they don't know what they're talking about.

You likely have a frozen tie rod. This is very common. I have some tools to help that, but if they aren't recently replaced I would probably just replace both front tie-rod assemblies and then get an alignment.

I do too, Mister Mini, let me know if you want to borrow it.

[Roland H]

Well, I'm out. I went to get an alignment (Sorry, Chris. SCR is just not close enough from when I get off of work to make it on time) from Firestone and they said that I have a "Frozen right control arm". Now, that does not make sense to me at all, seeing as when I turn the wheel left and right, there does not seem to be any odd suspension activity going on. My thoughts are that when I turn the wheel and the control arm is busted, the wheel would more or less lift...??? right?.

Anyways, I am bummed about this, but havn't actually diagnosed anything yet. I still think that they might be yanking my chain. Well, figuring out what is wrong is my new plan for tomorrow. :p

Aaron Blair at the Arapahoe Crossings firestone knows what he's doing. I have him align my car when I can't make it to SCR. Also helps that Firestone has/had free lifetime alignments for the price of one SCR alignment.

People from firestone are usually yanking your chain, or know less about cars than you do.
