Default Tibs Getting Fixed

I finally got my tib to the dealor to get looked at and boy did we find some problems. As i said before my front berrings were destroyed, he said that the front right wheel was basically moving around freely after putting it on the lift. Also one of my belts (the one that squeels) is getting replaced and tightned. And the biggest problem which i had no idea existed is that my manifold is cracked. Luckly there was/is a recall on that so im getting a brand new one for free! Im getting my headers soon so it would have been replaced anyways but whatever i'll take the new part.

Those seem to be common weaknesses on the Tibs. I've had three of my four wheel bearings replaced. Also had the cracked exhaust manifold replaced under warranty just before 130,000 kms.

Glad everything is being fixed up for you.

Good job getting on top of things and fixin your car. I just finished fixing all the little things (yesterday) on my car and now she runs very smoothly with no more nuisances

No slow window, no CEL, no more squeaky brakes, etc. etc.

It feels really good, almost like it's a new car. Hoep you don't spend too much. Don't let them rape you on the replacement wheel bearing expenses.

yea i cant wait until its all done. Figured i'd fix my car before i started putting more performance parts into it. I got my exaust in my room and headers on the way and figured it would be harder to hear the little noises after i install them so i should take care of them now. Plus i didn't wanna get stuck and have no money to fix my car. Anyways im happy, i'll let you know how everything goes/feels when i get it back tommorow.
