    Stop roof liner separation?

    I want to stop the roof liner fabric from falling down. SO far it's only in this spot at the passenger side front at the windshield. I do not have a sunroof. I'm afraid to drive with windows open since it flaps from the wind. What's the easiest way to attack this?

    AC Recirculation turns off each time starting

    Most likely it is recirculating automatically when the outdoor temp reaches a certain temp. Mine does that when its 90 degrees and up. Puts less strain on the system and less chances for overheating from the heat produced by the condenser.

    New Rear Differential Cover Bolts?

    Yeah, its the factory spare, still has the little nipples on the tread, never been mounted. Was holding 25 psi, not bad for that crusty thing. Im going to grab a matching alloy as a spare from pick n pull yard.

    These? If so, they are critical to performing an alignment. You need 2 sets.

    Front end suspension/steering replacement?

    Thanks, I will look into the best options. Haven't done the install yet, waiting on shipment from Rock Auto. Just swapping out the old for new stock, as rust will make the old ones difficult to use.

    Front end suspension/steering replacement?

    Update: I just bought all ACDelco Professional parts, only Moog item was the swaybar endlinks. Not cheap, but im sure at about 245k the original suspension/steering is toast. Even got new caster/camber adjustment bolts/guides. Im thinking of getting the Dorman steering shaft and bushing since...
