I for got to mention that I recently replaced the Rack & Pinion assembly (about 3 months back) because it had a heavy leak. However, the steering feel issue was present before I replaced the R&P, and after I replaced it I didn't notice any improvement. The new R&P has 2.5 turns L to L.

No, the car is not lowered, it might be time for new shocks/struts an springs.

Hello again everyone. I wanted to get some suggestions and some guidance as to what to replace or repair in order to improve my steering feel. Currently, my car has a very sloppy steering feel, when I'm driving, any bumps or imperfections in the road make the steering wheel go crazy!. I don't...

Hey Everyone, want to get some advice on whether to get the stock OEM carb, or upgrade to a new performance one? first off, I don't know what the OEM carb model is, so if any can help me with, it would be much appreciated. Second, as for a performance carb, my 289 is a daily driver, so I don't...

My 66 289 v-8 sat for like 3 months. Car was running fine, even started the engine several times while it was parked. Earlier today I tried starting the car and nothing. Fuel in the tank, battery fully charged, getting spark on all spark plugs. Just crank and no turnover! Finally I decided to...

The codes that you posted are the same ones that I got from my scanner. Believe me, I am ashamed that I have neglected & driven this car in the condition that it's in, so, I have decided to just go ahead and replace all the sensors based on the codes. I have already replaced both oxygen sensors...

My 89 gt is due for a smog check, but, here in California, no mechanic will even hook up my car to the smog machine because the "Check Engine" light is on. So I decided to fix this issue once and for all. Acutally, the light has been on for some time, but it would come on and off, but now it...

thanks, everyone for your suggestions, I will follow them step by step.

Hello everyone, I did some searching for other posts, but nothing related directly to my issue. Ill be as short as possible, but to the point. My mostly stock 89 5.0 conv, does not seem to be reading the engine temp, so I think. When in the city or on the highway, the temp gauge reads extremely...

the gear and the 3 bushings are ground up??

89SSC18, should i pack them with grease.

can i find these quarter by 20 nuts at my local hardware store, the nuts are gonna take the place of the larger plastic gear? how do they work with the gear shaft/rod that works in sync with the large plastic gear? do you have any pics? I will try this method for sure.

yeah, I packed them with greased, they just seem to break easily. I'll try a local auto parts store, thanks.

Hello everyone, the REAR window motor gears on my 89 convertible are broken, again. Does anyone know where to get the replacement gear only, the last time I bought them was through ebay, but can no longer find them. I hate to replace the motor, since its only the plastic gear thats broken. Also...

Drove my car normally just like any other day. Next morning as I'm leaving for work, the car won't start. I get crank, but it won't turn over, I almost drain the battery just giving it crank, I know I have enough gas, because I filled up just before I got home the night before. Any suggestions...

Alright, I did everityhing that I can do, I check all the ground connections to make sure they were clean and even applied some of that electrical grease on the connections, retested my battery and altenator and tested good. didn't see any bad or loose wires. Retested the voltage output and read...

Thanks everyone for your info, I will check all the connections and perform another test to the charge system just to make sure, I don't remember testing the system at the battery last time. One more thing, for those of you that don't have this problem, does the needle in your dash charge gauge...

Hey everyone, how's it going? The battery charge gauge in my dash is always dancing irraticaly, it never goes past the middle mark even when accelerated, but as soon as I come to a stop or red light the needle goes way down, still stays in the normal range, but very low, night driving is...
