The bushings are probably toast.
Suspension Restoration Parts Co., Mitsubishi polyurethane suspension bushings
I bought my set through this place. Quick processing times and shipping.I would get the car up in the air and check. Once the suspension is unloaded, look for any tears in the rubber...
Deftones frontman Chino has released an album with a side band called "Crosses"It's a very progressed type of electronic/rock. They use quite a few drops and down tempo grooves.I particularly like this addition on my ipod. Makes for good driving music.
If you do it yourself, get some weld thru primer, seal out (seam sealer) and duraglass, bondo, polyester filler.If you dont pretreat the areas you're welding, it will rust again.Or just take it to a body shop like you said you were going too. I see so many people attempt to this on their...

Certifit OnlineSome panels you order from certifit might not line up properly. Make sure to test fit the panel for painting incase you have to drill holes for fender alignment.
Give yourself some credit. You're the one who made the music!Im thinking i may use this song for my next GT5 drift video. (As long as you're okay with it. I'll make sure to list the artist too.)
You can use any 2g radiator support. I would replace with a new one. After you try to straighten the old one, it will be week and easier to crush again.First clear everything out of the way. Fenders, wires, ANYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT BURNT FROM WELDING.Start with 1/8" drill bit into the...
Some of the dents you see are there from the manufacturer. Its designed that way to take impact. If you take your fenders off, you'll see denting on the rails as well.If the metal was completely straight, an impact would send collision energy through the rest of the car. The dents provide a...
Buckethead. Awesome and very talented man. Just listened to the first 3 albums he put out. What an amazing guitar player. If i had the talent that man has in his pinky finger - i would probably quit being a mechanic! Lok
Bought another dsm last week. 2g tsi with 6bolt swap and 7bolt head, Big 16g. Had to do Tbelt, tensioner, idler bearing, water pump, A/C delete, aluminum radiator, slim fans, cam seals, crank seal, black interior swap from my 2gnt panda, brakes and valve cover.Tonight she rolls out for the...
I would take a long handled pry bar and use it as a stethoscope. Place one end on the bell housing while its running and put your ear up to the other end. You'll hear where the noise is louder than other places. This also works against the engine block and head when listening to pistons, valves...
Sounds like it could be a couple things.TOB is a good possibility.Flywheel/clutch is a modular setup unless you have aftermarket. Never heard the modular make a noise like that.My first impression was the input shaft needle bearing. Notorious for failing on our cars.Hopefully Bullet...
Pics would help alot more in this situation.PDR guys might be able to pop the dent from the roof out. No guarantee.If not, the body shop will probably san away the paint, weld some studs in strategic spots and pull them individually or all at one time. (Depending on the damage spot)...
Pics of the damage? This way I can give you a better informed answer.Dash repair is not cheap usually. Its very time consuming and tedious. I can repair a lot of different plastics but dash's with heat/sun damage make it more difficult.For cracks i usually use a piece of backing plastic...
I'm a fan of 3M Automix Plastic Repair compound. Works on every different type of plastic bumper i've come across.
*Does not work with SMC or Fiber compound*Basic prep and cleaning procedures should be followed. This epoxy hardens quick and sands easier than bondo. Can be feathered for...
Harmonic balancer/under drive pulley/crank pulley - all the same thing. I always call it the harmonic balancer for some reason that has to do with an 88' Olds. (Long story)The rear main seal is on the trans side of the crank. Separate trans from block, look at the seal around the crank. I...
Are the 2 engines from the same production year cars? 95 uses a 60 pin ECU, the 96-99 Uses the 80 pin ECU. Some sensors are different in this case. I cannot remember off hand which ones are different. (Hopefully someone can identify) The vehicle speed sensor is different between the years. That...
This could be a good new music thread. Im always interested in new bands. There is so much talent out there being forgotten about by the mainstream that they never get recognition.
Depends on the mood or the type of day.Usually classic rock - 70's, 80's, 90's.
.38 Special, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden, Iron Butterfly, Metallica, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Frank Zappa, Rolling Stones, Motley Crue, Heart, Guns & Roses, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, etc. The...
Interesting. Nice to see someone putting the work in for others to see. I've been looking for info on the 420a flow.
(Now if i could just understand what some of these numbers mean)
This may be a silly question, but I havent the slightest clue who Justin is. I think i met you at the SO in 2011-2012. I understand you are the guy to talk to about Turbos. Do you sell turbos? Rebuilt turbos? I couldnt find anywhere in this thread that clarifies this. I know this isnt a...
For the seatbelts, get a junk set from another car that arent terribly stained and try some Ritdye. It's not exactly a "quick" process, but you can turn them any color you want.Carpet can be bought on ebay. Direct fit, pre cut. $100-ish with shipping. Its alot easier than trying to...
If you're worried about messing up on your panels, dont experiment with them first. Get on craigslist and find some cheap 2gnt interior. Or Honda panels and practice. I've successfully painted tan interior plastic using adhesion promoter and 2 stage paint in an aerosol can. The trick is even...
Forgot to mention, once you remove the hinges you will have to be careful lining up the hood so that it doesnt scrape the fenders. I would use a length of painters tape along the high side for a little insurance. Give it a proper gap all around the fenders and make it look even. If you add...
You could adjust the hood hinges by removing them and adding a couple washers to raise it. I've done this on a clients vehicle before and you couldnt tell there were washers unless you were looking at the hinges.
Because the cost of repairs is 70% of the value or more. Plain and simple. It doesnt book for very much value. Insurance companies dont care about the car.You can try to work the dent out but you're not fixing the problem with the rear rail. I suggest a donor car or a swap over car. How...
Run to the hardware store and pick up some plastic retainer cups. Usually in the plumbing department. Measure the holes on the trans and pick these up -Cut to fit if needed, clean plastic burs off and insert. Not that hard to do
Is that a big gaping hole in the bumper or are my eyes tricking me? It looks like it went right to the bumper absorber.Find out shipping to 54701 and reply on here. My PM settings are all messed up still. Maybe I'll grab this up. If I repair it would you want it back is my question - because...
What I can do is grab a throw out bumper from work tomorrow. I have the adhesives and plastic welding kit already.*Mods, Im not trying to sell an item, only give advice on this subject*The Magna Stitcher, Spitznagel Hot Stapler, or a wood burning tool with an assortment of different ends...
By the sounds of the accident - its possible that the spindle, suspension, subframe or the frame rails are tweaked.Im going to go with the rest of the posts and say check Tie rods first. (Cheapest option first).If it still pulls I would inspect the subframe for damage, spindle for angle...
+1.If its stuck like that now and you try to repair it, the chances of it happening again are way greater. And it's obviously worn. They shouldnt lock like that. Sometimes you can pull the 2 shafts apart for the bearings to clear each other. Sometimes.
