Differences In The Rear Brake Flex Line On A Convertible Compaired To A Sedan ?
(Preview)
(Online photo, not mine) My car has been on the hoist for 4 days now ! The problem is the rear flex line where it mounts and passes through the frame crossmember.

Installing the pitman arm on a power steering box, question.
