Yeah, glad about that /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Then the bad news...something broke at the icetrack in left front corner. There comes a sound like BIG CLUNK everytime I drive in a small hole or anything that's not flat road. I took the left front wheel off and checked eveything and all seemed to be intact and could not move anything, atleast not by hand.

Someone had problems with bc coil-overs? Could the upper strut bearing have taken damage so much in a short time? This set has been under the car just about one year.

Oh, and I put a little video from the icetrack for your pleasure:

I had similar problem once on my Expo. While not the most likely explanation, check the top of the A-arm for rocks or in your case chunks of ice. I had intermittent clunking for almost a year before I found a big fat rock sitting on top of the A-arm.

Good tip, and very likely to happen, cause the temp here havent got over zero (celsius) at any time after the trip. I'll check that.

Awful clunk fixed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif. Was the front shock upper nut that was gone loose. That was something I could notice by myself cause one had look under the hood and one guy try to shake the shock from below. Very easy to fix and cheap /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. My friend also noticed some loose tierod-ends and swaybar-link that were also gonna had to be replaced soon so those also changed.

My rear-wheel bearings started to make a lot of noise. Seemed out they went bad in quite a fast pace, strange that there were no rust or anything else special but they were all worn out by only 95.000km's??? Is this really common, or is it also the 20 years of time that does things to these.. My lambda-sensor is also showing signs of being tired, when logging sometimes the volts go zero and occasionally the signal is very slow...old cars, old cars.

Tranfercase shows some leaking too, not like "flowing" out but "sweating". Guess I'll have to order the recall-kit, or maybe complete driveshaft rebuild.
