Finished putting my car back together. What a fucking nerve racking experience. On the plus side, suspension is tighter in front.

I agree. Or alternator is dying and not fully charging the battery to begin with? charging it right now and the battery is at 0

Just finished getting an alignment. Also forgot to mention earlier that I changed my front pads to something less dusty.

Okay. So how do I test this out? Any tips would be nice.

Took it for a drive through GMR (Glendora mountain road) last night to test out the new suspension. Was fun! I have to take this drive at least twice a month.

Discovered a mutalated lower ball joint. Any tips and tricks to changing it.
I had to replace one on the 6th last summer, they're just about the same as ours. I pulled the following:
remove axle nut
remove tie rod end
remove upper and lower ball joints
Remove hub assembly
From here you'll need another set of hands to support it while you apply some brute force with a hammer. Once lower ball joint starts coming out, you can use a ball joint puller with an air gun to pull the rest of the way out. The socket for the axle nut actually fits well when you hammer in the replacement, just don't hit the cap area in the center. I believe it took about 2 hrs.
Today I changed the oil in the 6th gen and replace the output shaft speed sensor. Transmission still not shifting correctly. On my car, I rotated the tires and inspected my suspension. Both upper ball joints are on there way out, DS lower ball joint on it's way out, both compliance bushings are cracked/broken and a rubber mount that IDK. It's located between the frame and the lower control arm mount. The rubber is split right in half. Wish I had taken a picture. So now I'm thinking about buying new upper and lower control arms with bushings, whatever mount that is, maybe I'll just get a new car.

I just discovered a hole the size of a dime in one of my fog light lenses. Going to make some new lenses out of polycarb tomorrow.

Changed my spark plugs today, then went to change the air filter and proceeded to snap one of the retaining screws in half. Now I'm going to head over to Lowe's after dinner in my mom's TL and hope that they even have the same size screw.
