    Why Does My Suspension

    The clunk fix brackets are great for stopping the clunk, but the rubber bushings they come with will squeak if you do not grease them fairly often. Upgrading them to urethane should help quite a bit.

    Bushings solution?

    The AXR bracket fixed my clunk, but the bushings, which were greased with the stuff he supplied now squeak worse than the stock ones. I only had the stuff installed at the end of July.

    AXR Clunk Bracket Review

    I didnt install it myself, had the shop that did my new exhaust do it. I havent had a chance to take it back up there yet for them to look at it, but regreasing every 2 weeks isnt going to be a viable solution for me. I may look into the 19mm bushing fix. Im not a big susp guy, I just want...

    best rotors and pads for the MSP

    Ive been using EBC green pads front/rear and have had great pad life, little noise, and greater than stock stopping power and response. I'm going to be doing rotors pretty soon as the stocks rotors now have 64k and are starting to wear out now.

    AXR Clunk Bracket Review

    Heres a few pics, of both sides. The squeaking is the bushings themselves. Theres plenty of grease, but as the suspension flexes, the bushings are rotating and rubbing against the sway bar. Its very very loud. (rant)

    AXR Clunk Bracket Review

    I'll grab you some pics here in a little while. Had mine installed about 2 weeks ago, and there is NO clunk. Its completely gone. However, i noticed right away there was still a little suspension noise, which is now a full fledged squeaking. I'm gonna take it back and have it tightened...

    A/C Fan switch solenoid

    For the past few summers, my AC switch will turn on and off, when the fan is on 2 or 3. Works fine at 1 and 4. The fan works fine, but the a/c will cut in and out when the fan is at 2 or 3. Could this just be an a/c solenoid issue? Any idea on how easy to fix? Thanks.

    AXR Clunk Bracket Review

    Oh i did, and it was very insightful. I know this fixes the clunking... i had my bushings replaced 3 or 4 times... but the squeaking, is that eliminated too?

    Why do parts fail less than 2,000 miles out of warranty?

    Picked my car up this morning. $106 bucks to replace the alternator, parts and labor included. Not too bad really, and the dealer did give me a pretty good deal I guess. Cheaper than buying one myself, and without hassling with the install in my garage. Now I get to go out and enjoy my new...

    Why do parts fail less than 2,000 miles out of warranty?

    Well, I already KNOW its the alternator from testing it at home with a volt meter, and the alternator is NOT putting out voltage. I worked at AutoZone for a year so I'm on top of things like that. However, the girl who I talked to on the phone when scheduling the appt was the one who mentioned...
