    Did I break my clock spring?

    While I had my steering shaft removed to put a new one in today, I think I may have turned the steering wheel too far to one side. Now when I turn the wheel lock to lock there are a few spots where I feel resistance and continuing to turn the wheel makes a loud click. Broken/shifted clock spring...

    SN95 Rack & Pinion Swap, anyone done it?

    I'm just now finishing up this swap and I found out that you DO need fox length inner tie rods after all. Which means that you must use Fox outers as well. The PS fluid lines from my '90 fit the SN95 rack with no problems, as did the mounting bushings.

    P/S fittings Metric or SAE? And how to flush system?

    Well in case anyone else has this question, I bought the lines with the SAE fittings and they fit the '02-'04 rack I'm installing. I assume they'd fit a Fox rack as well, I dunno what would use a metric.

    P/S fittings Metric or SAE? And how to flush system?

    Would the power steering pressure line fittings on a '90 GT be metric or standard? I went to Napa to get new hoses and they had a listing for both. Also, what's the procedure for flushing the old fluid out of the p/s system before installing a new rack & pinion? How many quarts of p/s fluid...

    My 8 trumpet Manifold Project.

    Awesome looking manifold and nice looking 4Runner as well, I'd love to have either. :D Any plans to produce more of those manifolds and sell them? They'd sell for sure here in the US...

    Got me some L7's

    Must be pretty loud. I'm more into sound quality than deafening volume but my system still pounds pretty hard with a good 12" sub and 575 watts. As long as I can feel the kickdrum in rock songs I'm happy. :D

    finally new pictures of LX with ROH's and SC

    I love those wheels... don't like the decals on the new style though. I wish they would sell them with a plain lip like the old ZS.

    tune-up!! what all to change?

    All of the above + clean the MAF, throttle body and IAC. Check TPS voltage, check all your grounds and clean the battery terminals if needed.

    Need help diagnosing dead power window

    The other day my driver's side power window just stopped working without warning. I know it isn't the switch b/c I swapped it with the passenger window switch and it still didn't work (passenger window still works fine). The volt gauge doesn't move when I hit the driver's switch either. I assume...

    stock clutch fan vs electric fan...

    I've been wondering this myself... surprised no one has done a before & after dyno test of the e-fan vs. clutch fan.

    will aftermarket control arms and SFCs make the car less streetable..

    I know subframes will get rid of interior rattles, but is it true that they will make the car ride better?

    spark plug wire Poll

    I have the Taylor Spiro-Pro's, they were about $45 USD from Summit a year ago. I like them, they have a good plug boot design, but I did pull one of the plug boots off the wire by grabbing it where you would think you're supposed to. There's a little indentation that looks like you should hold...

    Difference between Fox and SN95 front struts?

    I guess that means Bilsteins will slightly increase travel in SN95's, because they're the same length as Fox struts when I compared them side by side...

    What are some good, inexpensive rear control arms?

    Those Pro3 and D&D arms look nice... is it really worth the extra money for a 3-piece type bushing? It looks like a good design but I haven't really seen anyone complain about the regular one piece bushings that are used in 99% of the aftermarket LCA's out there.

    What are some good, inexpensive rear control arms?

    I think my rear axle may have shifted about an inch rearwards on the passenger side due to control arm bushing wear... an alignment shop tried to tell me I had a bent axle housing, but it seems to me that bad bushings would be much more likely...? I'm going to get a second opinion, but I'm...

    Best head for bottom end

    I've been wondering the exact same thing... I'm looking at the Performers as well and with my daily driver Stang I'm much more concerned with the 1500-4500 RPM powerband than higher-RPM potential... anyone have solid numbers on how the Performers' low-end power compares to that of ported E7's...

    Difference between Fox and SN95 front struts?

    What's the height difference between Foxbody front struts and SN95 ones? I remember hearing that one application is a bit longer than the other. Just wondering because I noticed that the Bilstein struts I bought are the same part number for all '87-'93 models... which makes me wonder if...

    Power Steering Fluid / Brake Fluid Questions?

    Is there any real benefit to buying the expensive synthetic PS fluid, or will the cheap stuff do just fine? I'm in the middle of replacing my rack & pinion and just want to make sure I put the right stuff in there once I flush out the pump with lots of el-cheapo brand fluid. Secondly, how...

    Alarm systems...?????????

    Agreed, DEI stuff is good quality. They make Viper and a few other brands. I had an older Viper 800 on my last car and it never gave me any problems.

    removing 3M tape from body mouldings

    I second the bodyshop-grade adhesive remover. It won't hurt your mouldings as it's designed for this kind of use.
