We arrived in Scotts Valley about midnight and put the car into the garage. The next morning after a breakfast we went out to look at the car. After inspecting the car for awhile Nick noticed that one of the caps on the u-joints had worked it's way almost completely out of the u-joint! Needless to say the axle was about 10 miles away from flying apart! Either the car loves us or we are just really lucky people. The car lasted 600+ miles but couldn't go any further.
Plans were made to replace all of the u-joints on both axles. Also we thought one of the rear bearings was worn out so I ordered u-joints and an rear spindle kit from Hall Pantera. On the trip down we also noticed a lot of play and rattling coming from the rack and pinion. So we also orderd a rebuild kit for the rack.
