So I take all my brakes apart. I'm in the process of:

-Drilled/slotted rotors
-hawk pads
-stainless brakelines
-painted calipers and brackets

That's when I look down and notice my axle has thrown grease all over on the passenger side.

Mine's not too bad..yet. I think I caught it early.

I have grease on the rail, oil filter, and a little on the tie rod. That's it.

Anyone have tips for a bleeder that keeps bleeding?

I've torqued it down as hard as I can, and it's still dripping from the center hole when I push the brake.

I swapped it with an aftermarket one, and it does the same thing.

Bleeder leaking! Take out the bleeder get someone to pump the peddel..hold it down with bleeder right out and then replace it , and rebleed with it in. But while the bleeder is out clean it well, sounds like dirt in the system (caliper). And the C/v shaft that is ripped...just replace the boot its like $10 no need for a new shaft unless it is dry inside.

I've had them for several months, I just need to take some photos. I hope to wash the car today and get some new photos soon.

I got those rims and tires for a STEAL... $500 delivered to my door, and the tires (Nitto ZR) had less than 500 miles on them.

A guy in my local club bought my torque stars for drag racing, which helped even more.

Thanks. Some people love 'em. Some people hate 'em.

Personally they are my favorite GP rims that I've seen so far. I guess if the car is a reflection of the driver, it should have wheels you like.

They are a little wider than stock rims, but the offset isn't right, so they stick out past the fenders a little more.

Gives it a wider stance. I like it. I need a good photo from the back to really show it.

I'd like to see a pic like Drummer has, but of your vehicle. Those wheels look sweet!

Sorry, I sold my torque stars (caps and all) to a fellow local club member.
