From your description, bet I would run into the same problems w/that conversion as w/going the other way.
Certainly wished either I lived closer to you, or you lived closer to me. I drive appx 185 miles one way to Omaha to have Wolfi serviced. I found an excellent shop in Papillion, an Omaha suburb, called Star Class Motors. Family business & have good mechanics on staff. Driving Wolfi down there this coming Monday to have front wheel bearings replaced, oil & filter change, & alignment. I think the wheel bearings went bad @ 124,000 miles because I tracked the car for 3 years when I lived in NOVA - very hard cornering, etc. My symptoms of bad bearings are grinding /groaning noises when cornering hard & a bit of very slight brake judder when braking hard. I replaced front rotors & brake pads myself last fall as well as flushed & refilled brake fluid.
