    My suspension has been completely shot for at least a few years. It's the original and my car has over 250k miles on it. Yes, 250,000 miles! The rear suspension has been sagging so much that when I hooked up my camper, it was bottomed out and made the tires tip outward at the bottom and made my tires wear unevenly. After installing the Aerogenics Swift heavy duty springs and HRG Offroad spacers, my car rides so much better, it's almost like having a new car.

    It is such a blessing and joy to watch a competent, skilled professional help you out like this, Bex!
    A true expert with a lifetime of experience, a mechanic like this is such a rarity and a true gem-of-a-person in these trying and deceitful times...
    God bless him abundantly always for helping you like this!
    When they have done tests on stressful events in peoples lives, death and divorce are the highest, but believe it or not, car repairs is very high on the list of most stressful life circumstances!
    To have the peace of mind of knowing that my car could be taken care of by a trusted and reliable individual would be a dream come true!
    You are blessed, Bex!

    If you can, I would suggest you order a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV. GM has lowered the price and as an Oregon resident you get a $7500 cash rebate if you are lower income. There is an aftermarket class 2 hitch available for it, and the car has 200 horsepower. Lots of torque. Charging infrastructure being built out all over the US.

      Anti seize is used on threads of bolts. Your tool chest drawer just needs a spray lubricant. Some tool chest drawers might have small ball bearings in them and anti sieze it way too thick, as it is a paste, to function as a good lubricant for them. What anti sieze does is prevent a situation known as galling from binding the threads on a bolt to the threads it is inserted into. You can look up what "galling"is in a web search so you have and understanding of how it happens.

      @@karincorbin2355 it wasn't used on the glides. They smeared the Anti seize under the lip of the handles. You couldn't see it standing in front of it. When you went to open any drawer your fingers got covered in the crap. But thanks for the grease lesson.

    Bex, I was curious how many miles on your CR-V, 257,000 is pretty impressive. Our 2009 CR-V has 185,000 but we don’t tow with it. It’s pretty impressive that your friend can do repairs in the field like that.

      Yes, because my suspension was shot and was easy to bottom out. But also no, because the suspension was always on the stiff side and it still is.
