73626 miles - PJ Grady 4/99
These are the things I knew
I wanted done:
 Lube, Oil change, filter: 75Kmile service. Grady
lubes the speedo cable angle assembly too!
Tires: Rears were worn, replaced NCT's with
Yokohama AVS.
Steering Loose: Grady re-shimmed the steering
rack. (N/C)
Adjust parking brake.
Replace LHS A-post trim panel. It had
become warped and pulled away from the pillar. Looked REALLY ugly. Probably from
sun damage.
Check Ignition switch: Sometimes the dash lights
would go out when the starter cranked. I suspected no spark when that
happened. I could fiddle with the wires and things would be fine for a while.
Grady disassembled the switch & lubed the contacts.
The following problems
surfaced during Grady's routine Maintenance & Safety Inspection:
Upper control arm bent: Replaced R/F Upper
control arm, bolt, and ball joint.
Hood cable core frayed: Replaced.
Clutch Master cylinder leaking: Replaced. The
slave cylinder had been replaced earlier.
RUST!
Rust? Yes, the frame is epoxy coated steel. Grady noticed rust on the rear
shock absorber towers. They cut out the rusted areas, prepped the insides of the towers
and welded new pieces in. The front frame extension and misc. areas on the rails were also
treated.
