Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

Replaced condenser, as the connection out from it had tiny crack. Refrigerant all leaked out. I put in some refrigerant with dye and saw it leak out, and heard it too lol so really didnt need dye.
Replaced it and got an ac oring kit and recharged and its icy cold.
Its over 90 degrees and was freezin me out.
I didnt vac system or change receiver dryer nor expansion valve that I got in an AC tune up kit, saving them for next time...and no issues. I may add a little oil if/when it ever needs charge topped off.
Then had a weird vibration from from front end.
Kept thinking maybe it's a tire or rim.Weight fell off, or something's making a vibration.What the heck's going on.I had the tires balanced everything was good. i checked all the suspension components.Tie rod ends and uppers, sway bar bushings , looking at everything and everything was fine , but then I was like I bet its a shock absorber... What else could it be.
So I swapped the passenger side shock absorber , I had put KYB's on maybe five years ago, but I swapped in an Aisin Sabach. Test drove and jiggle vibration is gone,.The KYB was still tough to collapse but think it failed internally and wasnt working at dampening.
Xfire is ready for Summer now!
Cheers
