Having the engine out would be great and help with all kinds of access. Mine runs fine for now, so I'm not really messing with anything, as it's getting colder and garage feels like a freezer So I'm going no where near that.

I will keep everyone posted here as I start with anything. I will be replacing inner tie rod ends soon, that's one thing I did not replaced when I refreshed the suspension and turns out one of them is bad FML! LOL
