Milwaukee - America's Drunkest Evo Owners
May 7, 2010, 09:12 PM
yea just thought it was kind of funny. thought the dealer on brown deer rd was going to last a bit longer. well i ordered the boots today. cost me a cool 83 bux for six boots and clips for all. i only needed 4 but didnt want to go back there again. was actually kind of far. waiting for my links and on goes the springs and new rubber boots in the rear. some recommended going to big bear tires for an alignment and i'm going to go there to get it done. anyone know how much it'll be. thanks.
According to the parts dept. at Tri City on 27th, most evo parts come from Pocaro in Racine. They actually had what I needed, but said Pocaro has a lot of Evo parts in stock.
Also, Tri City is now an AMS dealer. I don't know how their prices compare, but may be more convenient than driving to West Chicago or paying for shipping.

I went down to don jacobs thinking the mitsu dealer was still there and it wasn't. Is tri city up further by like romines. I used to live on the southside but bought a house on the north. Seems like a new town when I venture to the southside. Next time I'm going to check out tri city. Felt kind of weird getting mitsu parts and everyone is wearing kia shirts.

Any recommendations for an experienced fender roller in the area? 265s were supposed to fit on the 18x9.5et22s without rubbing, but the rears are hitting on big bumps, and probably couldn't handle passengers. I think Neovas run wider than most.

I guess I won't be auto-xing anymore. My friend really wants me to help him with his exhaust. If it isn't too late though, I would like someone to give him a ride and show him what auto-x is all about. He's always been a straight line guy so this would be a nice change of pace for him. Show him what an Evo is capable of.

That wasn't the ball joint, but still a great pic! 
When I have bought ball joint boots, they didn't come with grease. I jsut used some synthetic all-purpose grease from the auto parts store for mine. I too had a slight clunking starting but greased it and put a new boot on and it's been fine ever since.

well started my lowering spring install and my compressor decided to take a crap on me. just bought it in november. i think i bought warranty for it. got it from home depot. really pissed as i only got the driver side done. probably gonna try the passenger side when i get home tonight. is it okay to drive with just the fronts done, or should i attempt to do all. this sucks.
