You are right, some of us are playing auto mechanic but refer to ourselfs as enthusiasts. I went to college with a guy from Orlando who put himself throug school in the 70s by buying older benz's with blown engines but otherwise great condiion. He rebuilt the engines during the summer and then sold them for a profit to pay for school. I have loved the engieering of the cars since then.

I think most of us differentiate between those repairs we can do with the helpful advise others and those repair best left to the shops. I personally don't think that all repairs need to go to the shop. We are fortunate that many on the site are willing to share their vast experience with those of us that are learning.

I think I was prudent in having taken the viewpoint that the worst scenario could happen and thus used the Klann compressors when working on the suspension. The repairs came out just fine and the ride is like new.

I personally appreciate the advise of those willing to contribute their time.
