Bathtub Faucet
Doing a bit of research, I found that cranking on the faucet handle to make it stop dripping is most likely bad seals in the stem. So I took apart the cold water side and found that it was actually cracked. Replacing the whole stem was the only way to fix it. The helpful person at the City Desk at Park Supply matched up my old stem with a new one. He found it to be a Gerber part # KIS23-1827 which is Park Supply's part number. It is about 1/4 inch longer than the old one, so it sticks out a bit further than the old one but it works great! They were 10.05 per stem cheap fix.
