squeaka squaka

so i decided to fix some squeaks in my car. one really irritating one was a belt squeak to the fan. did some googling and a quick fix was to use something called belt dressing which you spray on. it's this tacky stuff that's supposed to help the belt retain it's natural moisture so it doesn't crack and it's kind of tacky (gets messy) so it helps the belt grip the pulley. so far it worked...granted i only tested it around the blcok.

another squeak i fixed (for now) was a suspension squeak. the front left upper control arm's bushings are almost gone. bushings are these rubber gasget type things that seperate metal from metal so things can swivel and such...well one is just about gone and the other is on its way out. the temporary solution? motor oil :) easy enough. i don't have one'a those little plinka cans (i dunno what they're called) so i used a paintbrush instead. *shrugs* it works for now.

gotta get some jack stands so i can start doing stuff under the car....

cheap squeak fix...yay.
