    I hate my pro these days....

    I just wanted to say that my pro is ****ing with me these days an I hate her.....

    I had a strange sound on the right wheel so I lift it, unbolt the wheel and try to check whats wrong, (I thaugh of wheel bearing or somthing) I try to turn the wheel and HUH !!! its touching the strut !!!...... I check it out and top-plate (strut mount) completely seperated and the strut wasn't attached to the body anymore !!!! what a ****, so I go to the store and grap an expensive life guranted strut mount (they had nothing else at 8:30 pm ) install it I am happy, ok this is only the begining.....

    From when I baught it it had that axle sound that got louder and louder so yesterday I start removing the axle who is not too bad and than I realize my pads are toast and my disks won't last 2 years for sure.... how lame ok today in my lunch hour I rush to buy a rebuilt lifetime waranty axle + brake pads + tranny fluid + some grease. Tonight I put the new axle in and start doing the brakes who are a ****ing pain in the ass because of the rust and they are all stuck like ****.... now that i'm almost done I realize my left tire is almost all worn out on one edge (brand new tire)..... and after doing the right pads I realize my ball-joint is toast !!!! GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    On top of that the car is freakin hard to start somtimes so I baught a fuel filter (not installed) and my fuel gauge still doesn't work (Escort fuel tank and pump wires corroded)

    I ****ing tired of this and I am running out of money cause I'm going back to shcool on the 30th I have to sell a lot of stuff to get that damn Mazda to run OK !!!!!!! so frustrating !!!!!!!!


    Thanks I feel a bit better now

                    All the things you listed sound like regular maintenance and no serious problems. I'm sure you've had to do all these things before, but they are relativley inexpensive fixes compared to a lot of cars. At least your engine or tranny hasn't gone bad

                    Just think, after it's done you won't have to do it again, at least for a long time.
