Default Sovereign Update

I drove the new cat home this morning, a good 58 mile ride. I think the steel belted radials in the rear are causing a nice hum throughout the car from 68mph-72mph. I changed the tail lights from the vdp, chased down a notorious orange lightning bolt on the dash, got rid of the bulb out icon on the dash as well. I pulled the antenna out and fixed that motor, I just ordered a replacement antenna. I replaced the switch that turns on the lights under the hood, and put a new key ignition from the vdp. Also changed the main brain by putting in a new battery. I stepped on the brake for 30 second with the battery out. Hooked it all back up and now have a clean instrument panel without any codes. Only thing left is pads, new plugs, distributor and wires, plus oil change.

The above quote was wishful thinking on my part . Bad LH Rear Wheel Bearing.I do not have the tools nor knowledge to do that job. I will just replace the entire wheel from my other car.
