i thought i would take wheels off to look for my squeek and i may have found the problem but before that i was taking the passenger side wheel off and my locking wheel nut just happend to roll and fall down a drain in the road im telling u now when u have to clear rain water out the drain and shove ur head and hand in it to get ur lock nut back you realise 1.im too close to the drain and 2.buy anthor lock nut

well after all the shi t i got started i thing the exhaust mounts are all too lose and the exhaust sounds like it has a stone in it as it rattle when you put your foot down and rev it and rattles so now get parts ready
