We toasted her in the driveway as she has brought us home safely. On the way back form Snow Valley tonight she broke her body. We were traveling South on the 55 at Katella overpass and the front shocks bottomed on the north end of the bridge and when we got to the South end of the bridge something went BANG!!!!
I felt it in my left foot. The body had dropped about 1 and a 1/4 inches near the dash on the driverside. I don't think I will be able to use her for any long drives. I guess it is time to park her somewhere.

That's really sad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I guess we'll have to raise a glass to her good service and hold the memories close to our hearts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

I'm guessing a piece of 3/4 underlay and a few wood screw and everything will be back where its supposed to be.

Get under there and find the problem. It could be a simple fix like a broke bolt.

Heck. last week I thought my wife's car had a rusted out exhaust.

Wrong assessment wihout a look. Two bolts and nuts later, it purred.

And with this crew, we can fix anything! Even a hellhole on a RV....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Getcher camera and SHOW us know what it is......

Joe, maybe it was rebelling against the bag of new jewelry I donated to it!! Set the bag down, back away, promise neverland that you won't install the bag of goodies... Maybe it's just limping, trying to get sympathy???

Yeah, I need to put a bracket over the door and post it to the floor. Then I can screw the body back to the chassie. She will live again.
