I'm going to have to disagree with the low quality on the Optimas. I have read around that some people are having issues initially with their Optimas but the reason is because they can sit for a long time in the stores before someone picks it up. So sometimes the batteries will have sat for so...
Hey guys. So after getting back from vacation I finally got around to replacing my bad u joints. I couldn't get them off myself with my tools so I took it to a shop. They said they broke a 3 foot breaker bar (how do you bust a breaker bar? ) trying to free up the nuts and the u joints were...
