I was re- attaching the undercover protector on my 240, I had it all jacked up and everything, so when I was finished I lowered the car back down and noticed that there were six little ball bearings on the ground next to the passenger side wheel. They are about 1/8 inch diameter, and I have no clue what they are from... all I was doing was screwing in some bolts to hold the undercar cover on... Does anybody know what these are from? My sister was taking apart her "Skip- it" while I was out there, but I doubt it is from that. I'm afraid they're from the suspension, but I have no clue. Any help is greatly appriciated!

:help :help :help

This is officially a "Three- Icon Emergency," even though it's probobly not that serious (I hope :sad)

Naw, I looked and everything seemed to be normal, nothing looked broken. I pulled it in and out of the driveway a few times, and didn't notice anything different.

But I'm not throwing that completely ou the window. I have no clue. Does the wheel still turn if it has no bearings?

Correction: I am throwing that out the window... its not the right type of bearing to be a wheel bearing. Thanks for the suggestion though. Anyone else have ideas?

I say its your sister's Skip-It, it was her plan all along to get you worrying...for all the times you bullied and annoyed her...

I dunno, seems like something my sister would do to me. Was that all you were doing was re-attaching your cover? Cause if that was it I don't see how you can manage to let six bearings drop out of the car. Were they scattered, or in a pile/next to each other.

Wait - Those "bearings" you refer to are actually your HORSEPOWERS. Your car started with 145, so now you're down to 139. You won't notice much of a difference though, 'cuz it was slow to begin with.

Make sure there aren't any others rolling around in the garage, they're some slippery little bastards - and REAL expensive to replace.

There's a lesson to be learned here boys - Don't let a loss of horsepower happen to you.

I was out checking on it when I got home from school, so I now am fairly sure that it's from the car. Does anybody have ANY ideas?
