Wally13 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Food for thought.... After diving in to a broken driveline on a 87 toyota camry and dealing with the nightmare, I have decided it is cheaper to sell the car for scrap metal and purchase another piece of crap car. Sometimes, its just more cost effective. Unfortunately, this is my friend's car and cant afford to do that. So now, I get to deal with sheared off studs to the drive shaft assembly which the axle attaches to. Thankfully, my Milwaukee cordless made the job a little more bearable. Pictures to come when it doesnt give me upload errors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uncle bought an 85 Chevy truck up there and it didn't have any rust whatsoever. I figured if they are this bad in Missouri where I'm at then they must be Swiss cheese there.

We have a new firewall and trying to figure everything out with the forum and the third party software. If you upload them 800x600, you shouldn't have an issue. It is suppose to be unlimited and auto resize, but we are having some conflicts with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally13 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 As promised, here are a few pictures of that mess. I apologize for not getting this done sooner, but I have been very busy with other mechanical work and oil changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
