But yet I still have a rattle/click. I need someone to come for a ride with me, and that someone should be a psychiatrist. I've eliminated the sway bar and anything associated with it. New shocks. Every mount I can find is as tight as it should be. All exhaust is solid. Same with spare tire...

I changed the drivers side spring-to-shackle bushing and my squeek cleared up immediately BUT I used the old pins and that may have been a mistake? They were worn and went in loose enough that I could rattle them. I greased all the rear shackle bolts, both sides. Did not overnights them. Now...

Here's a similar Alpha in Vancouver. No Adventure Package though. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/942796988156670/?referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp:74e73394-85b2-4a01-a862-6d6c8e168fb5

It says "Alpha" on the headrests, but not on the steering wheel. They do say it's a v8 though.

west coast. If facebook links work here. https://www.facebook.com/share/1D1BaABmpP/

I would be grateful if anyone could confirm if the spring eye shackle bushing is the same one as the shackle to frame. I've ordered some Moog ones which I believe are rubber. They only had 3 available and I haven't really been able to confirm if they're the same. I think I read that the front of...

jdyonker. The pic you posted looks like +25mm. Not -25mm. That might just be the angle of the photo fooling me though. Agree on the hub-diameter. I recently discovered hub-centric rings that make Nissan-sized wheels fit safely, More options opening up.

It's horrific. I pull a relay and only 3 of the pins come with it. Not sure what I'm going to do yet but I see fuse panels on ebay. That might be a way to go. I haven't looked at the difficulty yet either. I also dont know if it would have to be an H3T panel.

I haven't had brake lights for a while and other than a few cursory attempts to remedy the situation with new switches I finally took a bit deeper look. Was expecting some kind of complicated ground problem but the culprit turned out to be the relay. I found out right away because my wife's...

Ive been thinking about some 17s as well, just because there's so many more options for tires. From what Ive seen i think my perfect off-set would be -12, but that remains to be seen. In you sig it says you have 15s. That would be a nice way to go for me too. It's about finding appropriate...

I watched a couple of inspiring videos. One was on a truck with lots of surface rust (like mine), and the other one was from Australia and the guy said to leave the calipers on. I did that and it is definitely the way to go. He also left the lower ball joint connected by a few threads, and the...

I am glad that went so well. I'm not sure if I should be doing something with the old axle. Does anyone know an easy way to tell if it's an OEM one?

The parts manager at the GM dealership told me they've been having much better luck with the NAPA ones than the ones from Lordco. I'm guessing some of their customers dont want to pay $600 per shaft either. This is my first go-round with this job and I had no idea how easy it is. 4 nuts...
