I've got my VX back from the dealership. They said the CVs are fine. All they did was grease the axles and stuff and said it made it better. I don't think it's a whole lot better. I did notice a time it occurs when not turning. Leaving the gym parking lot, the street is lower than the parking lot and you enter the street at a 45 degree angle, so the steering wheel really isn't being turned but one front wheel is lower than the other, causing the noise, which again makes me think something's loose when the frame is twisted. Tone, would you be able to elaborate on where I would find the third member bolts?

On a separate note: Man, I think Isuzu is seriously about dead now. The dealership I took it to is a BMW/Porsche/VW/Audi/Subaru/Oldsmobile/Isuzu dealership. I dropped it off at their service department, but as it turns out, I dropped it off at the wrong place, because they had moved the Isuzu & Subaru across the street to a tiny little building that looks like it needs demolished, and the service department was a trailer. The new car showroom could only hold two cars; the only Isuzu was the Axiom (which they don't make anymore?) and, like I said, the place was in shambles and it didn't look like anyone worked there. The only "service" guy over there didn't look a day under 95. That was the last dealership I would deal with in the area, and they're 45 miles away.

I've had alot of great cars, but this is the first one which will deeply sadden me to have to get rid of. I'm going to hold on to her as long as I can, but I feel she's stepping into her golden years as far as I'm concerned, because I tend to stay in new vehicles for reliability sake. Trouble is, I'm going to have to lay down some serious $$$ to even come close to the thrill of the VX. Maybe we'll be together long enough for the value to actually go up, I mean, why the hell is a ten year old Acura NSX or Lotus Espirt still going for $40K, when the rare, handbuilt VehiCross sits at a third of it's original value after three years? I know you all feel my pain. I'm just going to take alot of pictures so I can tell my grandkids that I had one of these.
