Took the hardtop off this weekend and found out Whitey Honda screwed up the re-install of the soft top. The back bracket isn't attached to the roof, and there are two staps hanging down that look like they should be riveted to something. Causes the back to sag and flap in the breeze above 50. There is also some overspray on the right side. Despite the fix to the right front from Lindsay Honda, there is still a vibration in the car under heavy cornering and braking, although it's not loose and clunking. Suspect the right front spindle is still hosed in some way.

I'm seriously pissed now!

Take it back and make them fix it. You definitely don't get what you pay for these days. I'd also take it to another place, reputable in all four wheel alignments and have them check it out. Something not replaced, is bent or twisted. Have it checked out, don't sell it yet.

On Dave's advice, I posted the issue on the racing forum to get feedback from others who have dinged their front suspensions, and so far the advice is to check the welds for the control arm mounting bracket, and check the lower control arm and compare it to a new or used one to determine if it is bent.

I'll see how the alignment comes out, and if it's still not right I might be in the market for a control arm.

The thought about selling it has occured to me, but I'd rather just put a cage in it and really wreck it right the next time!

No, that would be an oven.
