Oooh, gotta get brake fluid! Any recommendations?

I'm partial to the Pentosin DOT4 LV or ATE SL.6 low viscosity brake fluids. The leave the brakes (and the ABS / stability control systems) a little more responsive in the cold. Last I looked either one could be had for $15 to $20 a liter. A little pricey for brake fluid, but a liter is plenty to flush the whole system and have a some left over for any future needs.

Brake parts on!

Now, to fix all the broken suspension parts, get them fluids changed, new plugs, filters, etc.

Except mebbe drive it a bit more first........

Back in biness...

[WESHOOT2]

Rollin', but slow. Something is not quite right with both ends of the car, so I'll be spending my flu-ransom findin' and fixin'.
Then, back to flyin'.

[Ronzuki]

Really...what seems to be the issue?

[WESHOOT2]

I am not certain, but it could be shocks and mounts and sway bar links/bushings in the back, and at least struts up front.
I plan on having it looked over when I (need to schedule) get the gas tank recall done.
Since the current state of affairs takes precedent, I'm not really driving much.

Car's taken quite the Tim-beating

[Ronzuki]

Can't wait to hear what that bill is gonna be should it need all of that dealt with...

[WESHOOT2]

Rear shocks $50 each, mounts $60 per, strut cartridges $65 each, bolts / links / bushings, plus labor.

Good news: Gas is down.
Bad news: Peeps are dyin'.

Stay healthy and safe my Kizashi-compatriots.
