    Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?

    Replaced front control arm on my '14 Explorer. Had a clunk up there and I could feel it with my feet on the floor. Common issue with the bushing going bad. After doing the driver's side last week, I learned that the reciprocating saw makes the job much easier. Couldn't get the ball joint nut all the way off, so just chopped the stud off below the nut. Driver's side was a 2.5+hr job. Passenger side was about an hour.

    After overthinking the subject of “coolant” and also trying ensure it got done right, I finally decided to quit messing around and take it to the people who know best, the independent Cadillac dealer.

    I also had them replace the water pump pulley, belt, & tensioner.

    I see an old ‘89-‘93 Sedan Deville in that pic. Glad to see your dealer will still work on them.

    There was a line of about 5 Devilles in the parking lot. All from the 90’s-early 2000’s, all clean..

    Went shopping with the wife. I bought new sunglasses even though the weather is very wet and windy.
