Hey thanks Brian
This whole project came up a bit too quick for me to work through it
logically. I brought my Peugeot to the tire shop for a used tire as I had no
money to fix it right. The shop was kind enough to replace all the tires in
trade for me working on their JBC Visualiner (alignment machine.) Then I
traded again with them to replace all the struts and shocks for working on
their business computers. Next, they will do the alignment. I am stoked. The
car handles like a rally racer now. I wish I had heard about saving the
struts earlier. They are in the dumpster now.
It's all good.
