Why on earth would you do that?
Pay it off.
I'm already paying extra towards the principal, but a couple years after high school i ran into some financial problems and it threw my interest rate through the roof when i got the balt. By refinancing i should be able to pay more towards the principal monthly and get it done sooner. I've only had mine a year and a half and haven't had the chance to pay it down/off like many of you O.G.'s around here.

That will work as long as you're disciplined. Keep paying as much as you can. There are few things more liberating than getting rid of debt.

Installed two wheel bearing bolts into the drivers side wheel bearing since the old owner thought one was enough.

I don't understand how one can just think extra bolts at the end of a repair is no big deal. They're there for a reason...

Highly unlikely.
Installing those bottom two bolts with the axle in the hub is close to impossible as it is. You have to wiggle, work, and have the suspension at full droop.

The odds of them falling out are slim to none. If they had been installed they most likely would have backed out and ground against the CV instead making a wretched noise.

Surprisingly, that is there. I checked. It was also facing the proper way too. I was in awe.

I know my cars ass has more **** on it than a toddler with diarrhea!

I'm thinking the spoiler and faux diffuser are causing most of the havoc..

I'm sure the "diffuser" is creating a ton of turbulence and dust just gets glued to the back.

Always the first part of the car to get dirty!! lol
