Replace your lower balljoints. We've already replaced most of the rear suspension components, and in front we've done the front LCA's and the upper balljoints and wheelbearings and a few other suindries, but the biggest improvement so far has been in replacing the lowers, which got done yesterday. The car drives like it did when I first got it. Nice. Yeah, it took 6 hours and was not any fun but it was worth it and boy am I glad I know an enthusiast with tools and a shop and a lift...

I thought you were going to say put it on blocks and run it in reverse like Ferris Buller

It's impossible to take miles off of a car.

lol... just don't let it crash through the window!

unfortunately its pretty easy. A lot of car dealers do it to sell the car for higher price.

Damn I am dreading the day when I'll need suspension work... preparing a good $2-3k for that. Not doing it myself that's just too much damn sweating.

Not impossible, just a pain in the butt.

Did you go with OEM or Lemforder(sp?) or other after market? Care to share where you bought them? I've been considering this job too. I did coilovers last year and should've done this to but I put it off. Thanks for sharing.

Strigoi

No. It's impossible. Rolling back an odometer or swapping out clusters doesn't mean the car has traveled any less miles. If a car has traveled 100,000 miles there's no way to change that.

Oh I see what you are saying. Seems there was just a misunderstanding here. Yeah it's impossible to physically reverse the wear that miles will put on the car, given stresses that are put on parts.

Digitally, the odometer can be rolled back though.

OEM, bought through the pal of mine who help me do most of the maintenance on this car. So I guess this info is only useful to you if you're somewhere near Washington state...

Dude...a little poetic license here lol. You know like this skin cream will take years off your face, kind of thing.

If it takes the wrinkles out I will use it on my *****
More wrinkles than inches nowadays
