I think it is all inertia.

Sorry Ray, I think the internet screwed up what I said in the post above yours.

I guess it should have said:

He said............Bluuuuuuuuue.

Then again it does not come out right. One of those has to be in person things...

LOL, I got it from your first post. I was thinking that when I read Ray's response and was already laughing that Ray said Blue. Then I saw your post.

Crit, your suggestion about the nuts on the struts got me thinking. Sunday I checked the big nuts on top of the strut housings and sure enough the nut on top of the driver side was loose. I tightened it up and it seem like the front end rattle is gone. Thanks for helping to prod my thinking.

I actually thought about that today. My car's stranded just up the street, at work, with a bad fuel pump. I was gonna offer to throw an impact gun on your strut tops if you could help with the pump

It's not a big job, but I hate working away from home and without any backup, particularly with fuel. If anyone's local to Suwanee, I could use a hand tonight. Y'all can give me a call at 6) 779-4981 if available.

Crit, I got a good fuel pump, practically new, but I'm not sure it could feed those greedy fuel injectors of yours.

If you are still on the side of the road tomorrow afternoon, on my way home from work, I can stop buy and pop it in.

Damn, son. Don't know I'd have said all that......

Ray, I got rained out last night with all the storms, and my fuel pump is different than yours, though they're in the same place. I've got ramps, jacks, extinguisher, tools, etc and a new pump in the truck, so I'll hit it this afternoon.

By the way, Ray, did you get a chance to kill yourself some students?

I'm going to as soon as I learn more about this "Blue" character.

Send some of that rain out to Jefferson!

So the fuel pumps are different on SEs because the injectors need more pressure, not more gas, right?

Don't worry about Chris, he's just a young'n working out some identity issues.

Mike is another story however.

Holly, what does "ROFLMAO" mean? Sounds rotary.

Rolling on the floor laughing *her* *** off

And I was just on the phone with Collin, Crit, and he wouldn't shut up about how bored he was. And I am too... so, if your car's still down we could help you if you wanted.

Wish I could come down and help you guys, but a quarter tank can only take me so far

I am thinking of hitting up some SC meets, and bridging the gap between the NC boys and the GA guys
