Re: Engine mounts

Gotcha, is that something that can be done on your back under the car in the garage? I'm a mechanic but by no means am I more advanced than a jack stand and tools on my damn back haha.

CV axle replacement

I have leaking CV axle seals. Other than the axles and seals, should there be anything I order? Anyone done this repair before and have guides on what to do? 96' Z26 auto.
