Could ...

Re: ELECTRICAL MADNESS!!!!!! HELP

Does the voltage ever go above 12 volts. If not then the voltage regulator is bad or malfunctioning. Did you install a new or rebuilt alternator. If so have it tested. If it was used, it may also have a bad voltage regulator. If that is not the problem I think you have a weak positive connection ...

Re: HELP ME!!!!!! 1999 Bonneville SE (Steer/Brake issue) !!!

Both can give a bit of a clunk after you hit the gas, so kinda. I guess we'd need a better description of what the brake sticking you're feeling is.

Also, if the ball joint is missing a bolt, and you've tried replacing it with anything other than class 12.9 (for metric) or grade 8+ (for standard ...

Re: HELP ME!!!!!! 1999 Bonneville SE (Steer/Brake issue) !!!

Have a look at the bushings on both control arms. A second person needs to turn the wheel back and forth at each of the 100% left and 100% right as you inspect each respective control arm.

Next would be the same exercise for the ball joints. You are looking for any loosness in the bushings, and ...
