Attempted to replace compliance bushings on my TSX. My homemade tool didn't work to press out the old bushings. Should have just bought new control arms. ha.

Attempted to replace rear upper control arm on TSX due to a service bulletin which says right rear camber can be out of spec with stock arm. Last alignment showed just out of spec so I decided to replace with adjustable arm as service bulletin says. Found the limit of my 3/8" drive ratchet with a 3' extension on the handle. Oops. Didn't quite notice that nut was welded on.

Replaced all suspected "fake" ACDelco (Amazon purchased) LS coils on the Z with genuine expensive ACDelco coils. Hoped for a fantastic change and amazing idle. No change. ha.

Over all a failure of a day on all projects, but I still enjoyed myself. ha
