If you want something done right...

better just do it yourself.

We installed the new rear springs on the car today.  That took about half an hour and went without a hitch.  I can't tell the difference, but Jeff says he can feel the slight increase in stiffness and it is good.  All good there.

We decided to check the front alignment and look over things on the front of the car since the shop had it all apart last week.  Definitely a good call.  The alignment was about right, but we found a few other things wrong.  Most notably, the rubber bushings that secure the bottom of the radiator are MISSING.  And there's a ground wire dangling loose by the transmission that we aren't sure where it's supposed to go. 

Minor stuff... but frustrating.  At least we've got a week to get it all sorted out.
