Default Double Wrench Service
Okay guys, it's time for a double wrench service. Considering this car is an 05 just about everything on this list needs to be done, and since I have no record of it being done before. The change of oil and lubing of hinges and the sort is no problem. ( I kind of hope my brakes are worn and I need new ones (rotex gold here I come ) Here are my questions for now. What am I looking for when I do these steps?
Inspect condition of front axle ball joints and rubber boots.
Inspect condition of steering components and rubber boots.
Inspect condition of accessory drive belt.
Check condition of driveshaft flex discs (50,000 miles or 4 years)
If you have a picture of these bolts it would help me out alot
Retighten steering locking bolts (50,000 miles or 4 years)

Alot of this list is a to be done this year type of list, so expect a few more question and I know I'm going to be using the spark plug how to as well thank you for whoever posted I'm truly in debt to you. I'll document any and everything I do so we can have an extensive how to maintain your crossfire by the end of this year. BTW it's been awhile since I've been under this car so alot of this may jump out at me.
