Fortunately that won't be a concern on these cars, the heater core is always seeing coolant flow. When turning on the heat we are just running a fan and redirecting airflow via the blend door through an already hot heater core.
It sounds like you're just trying to replace the worn parts. If that is the case you could explore options that fit your budget from one of our supporting vendors such as here: ExtremePSI, JNZtuning, STM or RockAuto.
Koni's are great, GR-2's (or whatever that SKU has been replaced with as to...
The Innovative MTX-L supports native narrowband simulation. It will function in the front o2 location with a factory ECU, it's the logging of the wideband data that you will have to figure out if you do not yet have a form of tuning/fuel management.
I would first ensure you can pass a BLT and that your plugs and wires are in good order. This may involve regapping, replacement or swapping with other parts for testing.
Put that boot gauge in though ASAP.
Yeah, best to just replace the arm. They're not very expensive if you shop around. Try Rockauto. Avoid eBay.The recall is for the front lateral arms only.
Just looking for clarification on that alignment sheet, is the "before" the same as the "after" that doesn't fully show? I'd have a hard time swallowing that the car drives great with almost 2 degrees of toe in the front. This would also explain why the steering wheel is not centered - the tie...
Going bad can be relative. What are the goals for the car? Depending on which bushing it is, you may or want to replace it (SOL if it's #5).
I'd suggest first doing a visual inspection of your tires to determine if you are experiencing any undue wear in relation to the opposite side. This could...
If the SAI is indeed 4* out, then I would have to guess that there is a damaged component but that doesn't allow for your scenario where all the control arms/knuckles appear to measure out fine.
If the SAI has a >1* discrepancy between sides I generally start thinking damaged components, as you...
Ceasarlcase, Please fill out your vehicle profile so we can better assist you.
Ensure the axle has been fully seated. If you had bad balljoints, the alignment shop should have noticed and would have likely refused to align the car. This does not mean they aren't bad.
Did you get an alignment...
Am I correct in understanding that your thrust play is currently .007? Your post indicates .07, which is a lot. One meets the description of "trashed" while the other is within service limit. This may or may not affect your decision.
Indeed. More pics! How'd the axle go? If it's not already out you might need to pry it out, there is a circlip. Alternatively, some have better luck with a chisel and mallet or twisting a screwdriver between the opening.
