I pulled the front end off yesterday to install my oil cooler and radiator screens.
Let me say first that I was a bit apprehensive about doing this seemingly involved procedure, but thanks to the DIY forum it was painless. Thanks to all who went before and provided pics and directions.
I was surprised to find several of the bolts and screws holding the nose loose, like, no wrench required loose. So, while I was underneath I checked others and sure enough, almost every one I put the wrench on was in need of tightening. Just thought I'd pass it along as a reminder to others to tighten things down when you're crawling around the car.
Lastly, I was driving the highway a couple days ago and had gotten far enough away from the radio station that there was more static than talk, so I shut the radio off. It's amazing, but I suddenly began to hear various rattles and tic, tic, whrrr, sounds that I never noticed. Behind the dash, in the drivers door, in the pass through hatch to the trunk. I guess I better start tightening things inside the car too. . .
