Sorry for all the bother but I am travelling in China right now and cannot get pricing on these components. Do you have any idea on the cost of each and the time to repair?

Thanks again,

I've got the softtop blues

Finishing up an R&R on my top and presto. I'm stuck.

How do you set the control arm length on the rods with the plastic ball sockets?
Damned things are adjustable!

I'd love to finish today....

Since I got the $99.00 code reader to work, I figured that I'll clear the codes and see what could come up again.
