So on Sunday I drove my car to my mechanic's shop so that I could do my clutch install myself in his garage using his tools, since I no longer have any tools because they got stolen. This was the same mechanic who did my swap, but I had no intention of having him touch the car. Well it turns out that I'm 100% completely mechanically retarded...at the end of the day I didn't even have both axles out of the car.
![]() And since it was in the shop's main bay and my mechanic had to have it out of there and I had to work, I couldn't continue on it and had to pay him to do my clutch installation. So I got my car back today and took it for a drive...it is now so screwed up it's ridiculous. Now I have to hold the wheel ten degrees or so clockwise to drive straight! ![]() I also have a new paint chip on the side of my door from my mechanic hitting the door with something, and my front brakes squeal when I come to a stop. It's so ridiculously sick how retarded my mechanic is. My car was fine except for a bad throwout bearing due to my mechanic being a retard and using the wrong one on my tranny. Now it doesn't drive straight and my brakes squeal. ![]() I just don't even know what to do anymore...my car used to be nice...now look at it...it's a piece of garbage...I don't even think I could sell this car anymore. ![]() -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

taking out the axels should mess up anything in your steering. seems to me like your mechanic messed with the tierods (the steeing arms, or whaever they are officially called). if you payed a mechanic to do the job right, then you should ask for a refund when he did the job wrong, at least engough to cover the cost of getting your car back to normal.
just take your car to any tire and wheel place, describe your problem, and ask them to do an alight ment for youl. that should fix your issues. after doing my swap, i have yet to take my car in for an alignment. for the most part it drives 100% normal because i didnt mess with those steering arms. i only get slight vibration of the wheel at high speeds. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
