That way you know that half is correct, then there is really no margin for error on the other side and you know you will have enough length.
Hm, I hope I went over the hump. I have to assume I did but I should go check it out soon, thanks

You realize that not everyone is some major enthusiast that knows every inch of their car and what parts will break and when? It's not like it's a wear and tear part. It's just a piece of crap
you do realize that this very issue is all over every group and message board for n55s right? you don't have to know shit about cars cept.. duh it breaks.
You do realize not everybody frequents the same boards or sub forums as you right? I've been here 10 years and never gone into the N55 section.
...and?
