new disa valve arrived Saturday, since I'm removing the disa valve again.. I decided to check and clean the IAC valve and throttle body. Got a surprise when the screws for the clamps are all facing down.. what a PITA to loosen them. Reinstalled them so that they are service-friendly..
replaced the rear differential fluid with 75w90 Mobil1, run out of gear oil for the front so decided to do it next time.
checked the front tension arm and noticed that the ball joint is loose a little bit, decided to order a new one.
