Tight fit T40 Gearwrench bit ratchet vs. droopy door
Your drawing ...which inspired this ...
...which was assembled from this Gearwrench bit kit ...
...which kit has been sitting pretty much unused in my toolbox since I bought it years ago for a song at an Ace Hardware going-out-of-business sale (and never really used it until today lol).
And the use of which was applied to my front passenger droopy door ...and ...
FIXED!!!
The door opens and shuts level now. SWMBO was suitably impressed.
Kudos ODGreen!
Miller time!
...and this combo might also be used for the oil filter adapter per the previous discussion? And no welding necessary!

So I got my coils in and 3 of my arms connected. But how do i get the last one? The axle has rotated forward alot and I cant seem to get it to go back the other way so I can get the bolt through. Any ideas? It's pretty dang close. They are adjustable uppers so could I just extend it until it's long enough and bolt it in, then retract it and try and get it close to the others length?
And all those wet spots are PB blaster. Except the oil up top.
And on the topic of going doorless, would doing that Pre-97 doorless mod make the doors line up crappy and cause problems with that?

For doorless it's usually mixed depending on who did it. Sometimes they do, usually they don't if done right. I have a 98, i used new bushings with a bolt welded in and I have no sag along with my doors open so much smother now.

Instrument panel goes crazy
I own a 2000 GCL and sometimes the instrument panel goes haywire, windows won't go up or down, doors won't open. Sometimes disconnecting the battery helps. Today the alternator went out so I'm having that replaced. Does anyone know if that will solve the problem? Don't know much about electrical issues. Thanks for your help.

Any other ways? lol I've brought the axle up and down and all around in an attempt to get that thing in. I'm finally on the home stretch, tomorrow is day 5.... So I haven't been able to drive for 5 days lol. I have to get it working and get to school and work.
Any advice on the track bar? Thats after this I believe. Do I need to reconnect the steering before attempting that?
