Man wish I could do that. Any mods planned for it while it sleeps ?

Planning on going with the German Auto Solutions Disa repair kit?
Yep! That's the one.
Great thread & nice car

Sweet.
Hibernation was short lived due to the XJ still having front suspension issues.
Love driving her!
So does this mean that you have a new fresh coby wheel installed?
No never shipped it out due to the XJ not fully fixed. Just bought a 200 steering box :/
Aww man. I was hoping you got the boots too
Car is done up nice and proper Whammy! Looks like it will be fine throughout the winter season :thumbsupQuote:

I should be able to tackle this project this weekend with the weather getting close to 60. I am also tempted to put the steering wheel back on and take her for a long drive. We'll see!
Nice. Let us know how the install goes.
Tomorrow I am sending the wheel and boots to Mike@Coby to get some TLC. I am hoping to get this back by the end of Feb if not sooner.

Do you mind explaining to why you were needing rear controls arms?

I was told I needed front camber plates and rear trailing arms. I ordered the rear trailing arms and found a used set of front camber plates. The front plates were not compatible with shocks however they were able to get the rear into alignment. The front is as close as they could get to it.Quote:

I saw your post on the FB group. If you having issues with the alignment, you could get a second opinion. I learned to never trust the shop I went to for the alignment. They made me spend more money than I should have.
Ah. Thanks for the explanation
You're welcome. By the way these are the arms I have in case you need them: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-35...reettrack.aspxQuote:

Do you have the ones with the rubber ends or the ball ends ? Overall opinion of them ?
I have the arms with the rubber bushing ends. Handling wise, they work well. I've never felt the rear end wanted to step out when I have taken a curve a bit faster than normal. Really good ride comfort.Quote:

Damn!!! Mike @ Coby is quick!! All ready to ship!

That looks nice.
Sweet!!! Now you see why I was a bit opinionated when we talked about suspension refresh options. ;).Quote:

Awoke sleeping beauty today. Steering wheel and boots were installed as well as the battery was put back in! Then went for a beer run!
