Already learned a bunch from your posts.

Thanks,

welcome to the forum and the Jag family. What part of SC?

 

I'm in Mt. P. Looks like we're neighbors.

Welcome to the forum ,

Good to have you with us Rick.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Cool - as you can see you'll find a ton of info/support here. There is a great mechanic in the N Charleston are off of Ashley Phosphate - if you need parts or service (have only ordered parts through him), but good to know there is a reputable repair shop other than the dealer. Might be a little bit of a drive for you but if you want the name - let me know.

 

sklimii,

That would be great. Please pass along the info. I could use a reputable contact.

Thanks,

Steve,

Took my car to Gerald's today. Their computer says I need a pair of eccentric camber bolts. Checked w/ Advance Auto and no luck. Found two part numbers online JZB100086 -$40ea and JZB100085 - $75ea.
Have you crossed this bridge? Thanks, Rick

 

This forum is a mine of information!

The name 'Ashley Phosphate' intrigued me and I've been on an interesting diversion learning about phosphate mining in SC.



The eccentric bolts aren't exactly high on the list of regular requirements for replacement.
