I just wanted to make sure I don't overtighten it...Anways, I posted this on another board, and I got a reply from some who had the same problem indicating that it may be rust on the splash shield. I don't get how rust could be the problem if the splash shield is never meant to touch anything. :dunno:
I know I can take it to the dealer, but I don't want to leave the car there for 3 days if they are going to take a while to figure out what the problem is, so I just posted this so I can figure out what's going on and possibly point them in that direction...
