When I see threads like this I'm so glad I bought myself an import, AND before anyone sets fire to me for saying that let me say why. BECAUSE I haven't got the skill to do this work or the patience, I have totally admiration and respect for you guys that do this, you deserve a medal.

Did you do anything regarding the insides of the chassis legs, or don't they really suffer?
