    Power steering 0 rings at the rack and pinion gear box

    I'm wondering if maybe the screw threads damaged the new seals. Did you use the special tool to install them?

    C/C Plates for Steeda springs?

    I have Steeda springs and C/C plates. I had to get the plates after chewing up a set of tires in less than a year. After an alignment, my plates ended up fully out on the camber, dead center on the caster. If you put your initial settings there, it should be good enough to get you to the...

    How do I get to rear window regulator?

    The left rear power window on my '02 vert stopped working yesterday. Since the dome light dims when I press the switch, I'm guessing that it's the motor. What has to be removed to get to the regulator/motor?

    surging 4.6

    My 02 with 58K miles was doing this for a while and got really bad last week. Turns out the PCV hose going to the left side had a 3" split along the bottom - HUGE vacuum leak.

    No Heat

    Make sure you replace it with a fail-safe thermostat. A cheaper, fail-closed one can leave you stranded on the side of the road at best and very quickly fry our engine at worst.

    Does anyone sell a leather wrap for steering wheels?

    I used Wheel Skins on my previous car; got it in 2-tone grey and black. There are a couple of things I didn't like about them. First, the leather is twice as thick as other wheel covers I have used. To me, this means a cheaper cut of leather. Second, they folded over the edges and glued...

    Buffing and polishing after a new paint job?

    If you want a mirror-like finish, you should color sand it with 1500 grit then 2000 grit paper. After wet sanding it, use a high-quality, variable speed 7" buffer with a velcro backing pad. Start with 3M machine compound and a wool pad. Switch to a foam pad and re-do with the compound...

    Good car cover for not too much $$$?

    I've used car covers for the last 15 years on a car I keep in the driveway in the hot New Orleans sun. My favorite so far has been Cover Craft's Noah. They fit well, are easy on the paint and are durable. I bought cheap covers that have fallen apart in less than 2 years. The Noahs have...

    Clear Corners from eBay

    I've had a combination wrench fall off of a pick-up and go right into the glass headlight on my old Maxima. After 12 years, are your headlight's plastic lenses all scratched up?

    CD2 Engine Detailer. It's in a large aerosal can (black with red letters) available at Auto Zone. The directios say to spray everyting under the hood except the fan belts. That includes the firewall, inner fenders, engine, hoses, etc. I did deviate from the directions in that I wiped the...

    Need some advice on a Tranny cooler

    If you look at the on Jeg's about the B&M cooler, you would see that it is designed so that the fluid bypasses the cooler when cold. Personally, I would not eleminate the stock cooler, but hook it up in series. The B&M won't cool much when you're stuck in traffic.

    Installed hood struts

    I installed mine yesterday. The instructions are very detailed and accurate. The only complaint I have is that the sheet metal screws for the bottom brackets are junk. I broke the heads off of the two rear ones and ended up having to drill one out. I got some stainless steel ones from Auto Zone.
