I have an '03 Subaru Forester and one of the front sway bar links was broken (disconnected at one end from ball joint-type end), it was a bear to get out (I am working from the ground with ramps, no lift). Their was a hex opening at the end of the bolt to try to hold it while you take the nut off, but the nut was on the same end and I couldn't use my socket so I ended up having to use vise grips to hold the other end from spinning with the nut, again it was a real pain. Installing the new link took only a few minutes if that. My question is should these be replaced in pairs or only as needed? I just replaced it with an OEM replacement link, it's not like I am looking for a performance enhancement. Experienced mechanics/do it yourselfers please advise and give your reasoning, thanking you in advance!
I know it's a pain to change, but change them in pairs. If the one broke then it stands to reason that the other one has metal fatigue as well, and is about to break...unless you know for sure that it broke because something external broke it. If it broke on it's own and not because of damage, then it's time to replace both of them as a pair. Parts like that should generally speaking, be changed in pairs. That way it will be quite a long time until you have to deal with it again and you will be confident that you built reliability back into your vehicle. Certain things go in pairs. Front tires, do them in pairs. Brakes.....pairs. Suspension parts....pairs. Windshield wipers....pairs. I'm sure there are many more that an automechanic can list. Headlights....don't do them in pairs...because you don't want something like that burning out at the same time. You always want to be able to make it home in "limp mode" on the one good headlight. LOL Also a good reason to change the other link is because you are already set up for it both in tools and mentally. Go ahead and git er done.
"I just kept my crying, mad face in my pillow" that part doesn't make sense. revise please.
when you introduce the idea of running away its too blunt. Ease into it, by saying something like, i wish this wasn't happening, that we could just run away from this.. yaddayaddayadda… "you know we could.. we could run away" blablablaaa…
"Since I was kind of in shock, I didn’t know what to do besides sit." KINDA?!
You seem to have an opposite sentence variety thing going on. While usually writers have mostly long sentences and once in a while have short ones to bring emphasis to whats happening, you have a LOT of short sentences, and because of that, it doesn't flow as evenly as it should. When you have that many short sentences in a row its kind of off-putting. It's an ok plot and all, but you need to work on your sentence structure because you might loose your audience if you keep this up, no matter how good the story it. After you're done writing a couple sentences, go over it again and read it out loud to yourself, that should help you see the places that can come across as awkward.
Those were just some suggestions that really stuck out to me, I know you are a younger writer, and you say "give me some slack" but if you want to be taken seriously at all you need to be always getting better and stuff : )
I'm NOT putting your ideas down at all, because I believe that you can become a great writer, but we all have to learn the traits and how to do all this "stuff". If you want any more help, feel free to email me, I'm always open to help a fellow writer : )
