It's fairly well documented that the driver side axle needs to be modified.
I'm a bit perplexed as to why the passenger side was failing. |

Got a dual sub off a friend for $15, barley used. Tossed it a box that was in my closet and wired to the unused 2 channels on my amp(eventually for the front speakers) and bam, cheap bit of bass! Still have a bit more tuning to do though. I would never usually put such a cheap speaker in my car but I couldnt pass that up, by far the best 15 bucks I have spent. We'll see how long it lasts.

Replaced ignition lock cylinder. Needed to wiggle the old key around to get it to start. Just for laughs, I called the dealer and asked for prices. Here's how that went:
Me: how much would it cost to have the ignition lock cylinder replaced?
Dealer: $550, including parts and labor.
Me: what if I had the part already?
Dealer: we could take off $225, to bring it down to $325.
Me: what if I had the part, put it in, and you guys just did the security relearn?
Dealer: if you did that and had it towed, we could do the relearn for $125.
Ok, so $125 for you to turn a key and sit in my car for 10 minutes? Nah, I'll do it.

Bought me a new windshield defrost panel. Mine was very faded, and scratched, and i broke a vent on it trying to stop a dash rattle, but went to JY found one mint, great color, no scratches, or fade.
10$ and i walked out.

Replaced the driver side fog light on my sedan, and I work at a salvage yard so parts are rather easy to come by there's a few still in decent shape but most of the Aleros are gutted or just plain out totaled makes me sad to see them all crumpled up

I changed my radiator. Accidentally broke the old one trying to remove the upper hose to fix a leak. 14+ year old plastic just crumbled away. New radiator and new hoses now, I think it was due.
