We stayed the night in Bakersfield and on the way home the next day it seemed fine.... although I was easy on it. I took it to a trans shop that I use on a regular basis and trust.... He said its an electronic issue.... which has yet to be diagnosed...



Sirrotica - The majority of the wear is negative camber. When I had it aligned I told the guys at the alignment shop to take as much camber out of it as they could..... Needless to say when I picked up the car I looked at the printout.... and the R/R was sitting at -1.5.... The idiot at the shop said it was in spec ... so they left it alone... I was going to have them redo it but I didn't have the time.. .... Driving like an idiot probably has something to do with the premature wear too...
