Will my alignment really get messed up if I replace the lower ball joints and lower control arm bushings?

i was useing 17mm, that might might be the problem, im not sure what the correct size is, it got the drive shaft nuts off, i had to take some deflector off the muffler to fit the impact, and it was air powered

Has anyone else seen/dealt with this? The top half of my odometer illumination is dimmer than the rest of the dash lights. This issue comes and goes. Sorry for the crappy phone pic, the pic doesn't really show the difference.

Cant see an issue in that picture, but it sounds like you have a string of LED's (probably 3 of them) with one going bad, they're wired normally 3 in series at a time, so if one goes bad it takes the other 2 with it.

It can be fixed but not a the dealer, etc, you need someone who does LED stuff. LEDmod.com (hit up marcus) can fix it or convert it, as an option.

yea thats what the dealer told me... they don't have bulbs just LEDs. the only way they could fix it was to replace buy cluster gauge... got an OEM part with a lifetime warranty so even if paid for it out of pocket it would of been well worth it.

I don't like the flat black look. Also the glossifier and metalizier didn't seem to work long for me...
