Well.. weather was 74 today, but there's a high chance of snow this Sunday and Saturday will only get up to 54. Figures... You gotta love spring in the midwest...

Front-end-wise. I'm replacing the end-links and tie rods ends. Boots on the tie rods were split and dry, the rest of the boots are in surprisingly good shape.

I was just crawling under the car and taking photos. All hangars are good, but it's not obvious if the rubber hangers are new or old. There's surface rust on everything, but the welds along the exhaust pipe look good, and the flex pipe up at the manifold seems to be braided brass.. or something. Don;t see any obvious problems.

I did notice that the timing belt cover was not seated correctly at the bottom and I'm led to wonder if some of the problems could be the timing being off a bit.

I've got new cap/rotor/wires on the way. Already have new plugs and air filter. I'm hoping that a full tune-up and a timing adjustment will things out a little more.

Otherwise I might need to drop the whole exhaust to really get a good look at things.
