October 22, 2008: Strut Bearings Replaced
It's been a while since I updated, but today the R had it's first real visit to the dealership. Sure I had the grill replaced quite a while ago, but that was a minor job that took an hour or so. I started noticing the infamous worn strut bearing sound when I turned the wheel at a slow speed, so took it in. They replaced both strut bearings, no more noises.
Also lightly detailed the car yesterday so it was all clean and shiny when I dropped it off at the shop.
Grabbed a couple paint touch-up pens as well, filled a few small chips on my driver and passenger door edging.
