Mechanic has 4 new tires and.....3 wheels.
****!
Backordered on my 4th wheel. Evidently they have the pieces and just need to weld them before shipping so they're expected there around July 1. I'm guessing probably the Monday after the 4th (so July 8?).
Bummer. Puts me about 2 weeks further back but it's 1 BILLION degrees right now so I wouldn't be driving it anyway. He got all the shocks mounted; says they went on really easily so that's a good sign.
Gonna probably replace the compressor. I'm getting an odd vibration in the steering wheel when I have the AC on and I think that's the compressor failing when it tries to engage and creating a little 'zing' in the serpentine belt when the compressor creates some feedback. Best guess I've got anyway. He's gonna give that a look this week. AC hasn't blown very cold in a couple years so I'm gonna guess it was failing and finally quit outright.
{sets more money on fire}
About $4k into it at this point. Not great, not awful. But I think this should all make an enormous difference in driveability.
