California car I had trucked to the rust belt. Everything came right apart which begs the question. What the hell do you mechanics in non rust belt areas do with the spare time and money you don’t waste taking out rusty *** nut, bolts and such?!
I’m from San Francisco Bay Area and we have rust from the salt air. I couldn’t imagine how you rust belters get anything apart. Glad you found your bad bushing
