Hi All,

Saturday I am doing some major DIY and want to be sure I have the right links for printing off instructions and recommendations. So I wanted to ask what the right links are just to be safe and know I picked the right one.

Can you'll throw me the links for the following DIY
Front Strut Replacment
Front Brake and Rotor Replacement
Rear Brake and Rotor Replacement

I couldn't find anything on the upper radiator hose but I assume from looking at the car it is self explanatory. I was also told by the Indy I took Eleanor too that it would need after replacing the hose a evacuation of the system. Is this correct? If so, is this the raidator bleeding or is this something else? Is there a DIY for this as well.

So many questions....But at least I am getting closer to solving the shimmy problem I am thinking. When I took it to Indy they indicated warped rotors, weak front struts, and a leak on upper radiator hose and could not really se anything else. I am thinking that they are wrong about the shimmy and it is a ball joint problem but this will eliminate the brake possibilities.

Thanks for all the Help.

I am still on for the 19th so far but my wife my be stealing the car for a wedding so I may not make it. She hasn't said for sure because she loves driving my eleanor.
