ok... so my car has been in a process for the last 3 weeks.
it started as just replacing the control arm bushings. which i got done. but while it was on stands and apart, i ended up doing balljoints, vertical links, tie-rods, etc.
while it was apart, something went screwy with the passenger side inner CV. made a noise for a day, and then was gone. magic fixed it, i guess.
also, when i got it on the gorund again, there was a nasty hesitation, and it bellowed white smoke out of the exhaust (no doubt due to a small crack in the head i suspect i have.).
ok... so i was running it for a bit, trying to burn off the rest of the coolant that had leaked in there. i smelled gas. so i took a look and saw that i was dripping fuel from the fitting on my fuel filter (the 19mm end).
so, my report on the delrin bushings. they are loud, but feel nice. havn't decided on them yet. i'll see how obnoxious i think the noise is in a few months.

and it's leaking out of the outside end of the banjo. it'll probably have to be cut off, and i'll probably blow myself up doing it.
