i have a few. the car i want to get has no windshild wiper lever, but the motor works. how much would the cost of this be and how long would it take?
and also it needs a pcv pipe replacement and o2 sensor replacement. how much would that cost with labor?

I got one, Im looking into buying 17x9 +15 rims and I got AGXs and lowering springs. Will I have fitment trouble with the stock "shaped" strut hitting the rim in the fronts? I figured that i can always get the fender rolled since they would stick out. Also the same question for the rear, they are going to be 17x10 +12.

NO. Do NOT get a pilot bearing puller. You'll be at it for days.

Get a BLIND HOLE PULLER. And the slide hammer of course. With a blind hole puller, it should come out within the first 5 tries.

Have you even looked under the car to see if anything is broken/bent?

have you checked your alignment since the wreck?

JAKracing · 01-24-2010, 11:13 AM

yea i looked, nothing seems broken, and the alignment is straight. idk, maybe some bushings are just worn and i haven't noticed it until now. i need to replace the suspension parts and subframe bushing, maybe that is what it is

usually after accidents like that, you "notice" more whether it is real or not.

have you actually gotten an alignment? it might be worth the money. just because it looks straight and drives straight doesn't mean it is.

Autozone has a loan-a-tool program. Unless you utterly break the tool, you get your full deposit back when you return it. No need to risk not being able to return a tool at Kragen.

Can anyone shine some light on this.

Does anyone know of a good product to shine up weather stripping?(Plastic Moulding around the windows, looks smoky gray) Tire shine will collect dust and I've read that some products need to be re-applied several times a month and/or will run leaving streaks. Just wondering if anyone has used something that were happy with. Thanks!

The rear clears for sure, and the front should clear by 3mm or so if anything you could always use a small spacer.

sdterrible1 · 01-25-2010, 04:01 PM

Lame question

I know the boot is ripped, but should oil be coming out? Would a new boot solve the problem or is there a part missing in the tyranny to seal it??

my s14 does that, but my s14 has...

1. broken rear sway bar end links.
2. alignment is off
3. driver side suspension is blown.

iirc, it doesnt matter, as long as you have a pair of rears, and a pair of fronts.

NINJASPY · 01-25-2010, 11:59 PM

Back to black by mothers(in a red bottle)
needs very little product, but lots of rubbing. Difficult to get off paint(oily). May need 2-3 applications, heavy application does not help.
