    Dittos! I have called him, left my phone number AND emailed him, ALL without any response. To his defence, when I talked to him in the past, he seemed like a very sincere-likeable guy. The only thing is, I had a years worth of excuses from him and honestly, I just want to be done with it. I...

    Upper Tubular Control Arm Problems

    One year ago, a friend of mine helped me install new (CAP AUTO) tubular control arms that I purchased through Mancinni for my 74 Duster. Ever since the installation, they have been squeaking terribly loud!!! So loud, that I barely have the courage to drive the car in and out of my neighborhood...
