Ditto on the long extension from the passenger side. I used 3 or 4 extensions in tandem, and then went 'fishing' for that bolt. If i remember correctly it was a 18mm. Have a breaker bar ready too. All other bolts should be accessible from the driver side.

Disconnect the PS pump with hoses from the ...

Yep, gotta give props to GM for making a great, long lasting product. I don't know many manufactuers that could say that their cats and emissions equipment still function to spec after 20 years!

mine broke about 5 years ago, I was able to weld it back together with a simple AC welder. Its held us to daily use since then.

Good Luck!

Rebuilt Motor 3 years ago (collapsed lifter); O2, plugs not touched. Original Catalytic Converter!

I think credit goes to the Seafoam treatment done 2 days prior, with ~100miles driven afterwords.

**Let me clarify, I had sensatracs previously installed

For whatever reason my Monroe's didnt last that long. They were great for awhile and really brought the sportiness of the car back. I tow and do spirited driving so maybe they gave out prematurely.

I've been running AC Delco OEM replacements now for a few months any theyve been great, well worth ...

Hey everyone, I have a mandatory emissions test coming up soon. Two years ago my numbers were borderline, I recall the tech recommending to idle the car a several minutes before achieving passing numbers.

So to save myself the embarrassment and do my part for the environment, I've been looking at ...

@94SilverSSEi - Ive purchased gabriels too in the past....garbage after a week.

@Jrs3800 - Ya ive heard nothing but good things about monroe and its reputation. I wonder if i got a bad batch. I do recall the two rears I got had same p/n but different packaging, even the metal tube housing wasn't ...

Greetings all, looking for some advice on a recent suspension overhual job. With a newly rebuilt engine and trans a few years ago, I'd to get the best ride I can. Last summer I replaced both front and rear springs and struts, using these parts:

Front spring: moog CC658
front strut: monroe sensatrac ...

Our twilight sentinel is not cutting the headlights on at night promptly. It takes a long, long time for it switch on in the dark. If we go under an underpass, or thru a tunnel....the lights in that venue will cut the headlights off, and then they won't come back on again for miles after you get ...

Will, Ill go for the compressors, I wonder why the service manual doesn't call for them...

If I do the compressors, I likely will not need to remove the control arm bolts correct? I would prefer not to if I don't have to.

Jr, I am replacing the springs and struts, my bonne has the original ...

Help!
Im in the middle of replacing all 4 springs and struts. Got the front done (yay!).

Im a bit confused on the order of removal to get to the rear spring,

Here is what the book says:

Tire/wheel
rear sway
Jack to support control arm
loop a safety chain through spring
remove rear control arm ...

My trip odometer stopped working at about 225k miles, however the regular odometer continued to work. Im guessing one of the gears/wheels wore out.

I believe the odometer gets its input from the Vehicle speed sensor, which measures the rotations from the output shaft of the transmission. Is the ...

Finding better sways isn't impossible, watch for people parting out SSE/i's on here from 92-99. Definitely get poly urethane endlink kits regardless if you upgrade or not.

Swapping out the front one is a PITA. I'd recommend doing rear only to save a lot of time, and to increase turn-in on the car ...

First off, quick update (and reasoning for spending more money on my bonne):

After a collapsed lifter, engine was fully rebuilt (for fun!), all new surfaces.

Soon After a failed 1-2 sprag, transmission rebuilt.

She's back in action, lots of fun to drive.....minus the suspension.

250k miles and ...

Sounds like the idler pulley failed. I just replaced mine because it was squeaky. Its about $20 for the replacement. Use a closed ended wrench if you can. Keep in mind it is a reverse thread bolt. Be sure to bring in the old one for size comparison, the two auto parts stores I went to had different ...

I recently had trouble with my knobs on my HVAC vent selector being tough to rotate. I blew some dry graphite lubricant in the knob assembly and it helped.

Now I notice the AC compressor is running in all selector positions, except for off. It cycles like it should.

anyone ever heard of this?

I ...

I also had this issue and welded it back together, reinstalled it on the lowest setting. Still working after 3 years.

Hello Everyone, I have the manual HVAC control setup, the vent selector knob (right most) has been getting harder and harder to turn. So hard sometimes when its cold in the morning I don't force it for fear it will break. When it does turn, it twists beyond the designated "steps" to get to the ...
