Clunk when trying to start? Terrible sound!

Lyonardo, unless you were planning to get rid of your Valk, then you probably saved money doing your on work. All the extra work done, replacing tires, and brakes, what ever you did would have run the bill way up if your mechanic did the work. Now you also have peace of mind that all is done correctly, as the pro's as you call them are always in a hurry and don't usually do a good job, skip steps, or in many cases do bad work. You also have a lift for the future, which can be used for many reasons. Good job!
