I'm a BIG fan of doing all repairs myself that I possibly can. I'm firmly convinced that with time and patience, the average Imperial owner can learn to do darn near anything with these cars. It's the time and patience that matter! Consider that the average repair shop is in business to make money, which means high volume and fast turnover--the ultimate enemies of time and patience. So I always figure that I'm going to take the time to read, learn, ask questions, etc. to find out what it takes to get the job done RIGHT, whereas a shop is probably just trying to get the car out the door as fast as possible. And haven't you already found some other things this shop has goofed on? I'd say get comfortable with that shop manual and fix it yourself. You'll bond more with the car, AND you'll know when the job has been done right. :o) Elijah http://www.imperialclub.com/~imperial71/ http://www.imperialclub.com/~imperial71/bookshelf.htm 1965 Imperial LeBaron 1967 Chrysler Newport Custom Sedan 1970 Imperial LeBaron 1971 Imperial LeBaron Yahoo!
