Too hot to do anything around the house today so we decided to head up to Big Bear to beat the heat. Just cruised around some small trails the. Spent the rest of the time just cruising around 3N16 and 3N14.
We were going pretty quick catching some air in some spots when all of a sudden I felt a clunk with a ringing sound. I slowed down and it happened a couple more times. I noticed my Panhard bolt wasn’t very tight so I fixed that but I knew that couldn’t be the sound I heard.
Started driving again and it was still happening. Turned out to be the sway bar end link I replaced yesterday. The washer is too thin and just bushed the whole bushing down the end link creating a ton of slop. Luckily it wasn’t a problem. I just left it for now. Kinda funny taking turns, turning left the sway bar works fine, but turning right it’s like I have no front sway bar.
Then next thing I know my motor died on me. Let it sit for a sec and it started right back up.
Then when we got back on the road it did the same thing. No idea what the cause was. Probably something electrical or fuel pump related. Couldn’t replicate what happened.
Then when we parked to go get lunch I noticed a hissing sound. Popped the hood and noticed the hose clamp on my trans cooler was rubbing against my AC condenser and rubbed a hole in it. Lost my damn AC due to that.
That was a hot drive home. It was 88° in big bear and 103° by the time we got home.
Now I gotta get that fixed before this Friday. Always something haha
