30 years old with a 1/4 million miles? EVERY original bushing & joint in the front suspension/steering is shot. Upper control arm bushings, lower control arm bushings, etc. etc. Doesn't matter what alignment is done, it won't hold as you go down the road.

If you want to do the cheap & easy; just open the fill plug & Harbor Freight hand pump as much oil out as you can. Refill & done. Not perfect & kinda chincy, but you can get quite a bit of the old fluid out & not have to mess with the diff cover.

Congrats on the new ride, but I think it looks like a hot mess. I see an aardvark from the outside with the long snout; and the interior designers gave up integrating the touchscreen to the dash - they just turned a tablet on its side, glued it to the top pad, and called it a day.

With no air in the tire (rapid loss vs slow leak), all of the weight/mass of the vehicle on that corner flexed out the sidewall, causing it to tear in the manner shown.

I spray on a film made by Cortec Corp - theruststore.com sells it in a 5 gal pail. It's nasty, expensive, and an all-day affair when I do a vehicle, but it seems to help.

There's supposed to be rubber "flaps" on the part in the pic to keep water out. Looks like they're missing?

Why are you accusing me after all I did was ask a question? If I was victim blaming, I'd have said "it's your own dumb fault for parking in the street at night"....but I didn't. To me OPs situation falls in the bucket labeled "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"...

Canada's a huge country. Why you park in the street overnight?

I'm just here for the poopshow....

What year Equinox & how much snow do you get?

lets OLM go to 5%, worried about what oil to use I'll take Automotive Dichotomy for $200, Alex.

My used $400 OTC strut tamer paid for itself on the first job.

Did the shop use ACDelco ignition parts or......something else???

I'd run that grease & not think twice about it. It's GC-LB rated. I run JT-6 cause it's cheap...

China didn't release COVID on the world, either. :rolleyes:

Been shopping at Costco for 20 years. Never bought tires there due to their limited selection & location. Generally use Discount or the local shop.

Welcome to 2019. Buckle up & hang on, the next few years are going to be a wild ride!

Hell yeah, I'd reuse it.....but I don't own a boat.

It's not called the "Toyota Tax" for nothing

Op can't run a skillsaw nor a chopsaw. See previous post somewhere....
