just wanted to let you know getting this sound clip is proving harder than i thought. I had a digital recorder, but it does not allow me to transfer from the recorder to a format the PC will accept. still working on figuring it out. BTW, the noise is still there.(killit)

I can. It's raining here right now, once it stops I will go out and get some sound clips.

Motor Mounts- well I can see all of them except the one in back under the intake manifold (number 1 engine mount?) I have even crawled under the car to try to see that one, but I cannot get a decent look at it. Is there a way to tell if its OK without taking off the intake manifold to get to it...

Hello- I took the car to a cul de sac today to drive it with the wheels turned all the way right, and then all the way left to see if I heard the "click" sounds everyone says bad CV joints produce. I did not hear anything. Yes it only does this when accelerating or decelerating. If I let it...

Hi-its an automatic transmission.

Just checked out the hood to be sure nothing somehow got in there. I also jacked up the car, one side at a time (and with jackstands) I engaged the transmission to spin the drivers side front wheel, and then later the passenger side front wheel. Interesting to me is that the noise was not...

Thanks. I thought of a wheel bearing, but couldn't figure out the mechanics of how it would make this rolling sound? it sounds like a ball bearing in a metal tube. Rolls to one end, clunk, then rolls back, clunk. I would expect the wheel bearing to make a continuous noise and more of a...

Yesterday I first noticed a sound in this vehicle, like a marble or ball rolling. it rolls one direction when i accelerate, rolls back when I decelerate or brake. At first I thought it was inside the car but later had someone else drive the car while I stood outside. The sound is much louder...

Thanks to everyone that replied to me. I think I have a lead on the part now.

I need one of these too, if anyone has one.

I know it means Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit Low (Bank 1). I have disconnected and reconnected the wires to the VTCS and the CEL goes off for a period of time but always comes back on. I cleared the code and it comes back after a while too. So do I replace the VTCS? I was reading...

Hi Max- yes i lubricated the slider pins; the calipers came with new pins so i replaced those and lubricated with brake grease. i did adjust the p-brake per spec, tighten til pads drag the rotor then back off 1/3 turn. That works perfectly on the passenger side, but if I do not back it off more...

I am back. Finally replaced both rear calipers, with mixed results. First, the caliper (parking brake) adjustment screw adjustment works fine now, and it did not on one of the older calipers. But I still have the same problem - passenger side spins freely with minimal drag, but drivers side...

Would you recommend changing one caliper and bleeding that wheel before moving to the other side, or change both calipers and then bleed both sides? or maybe it does not matter at all?

Is there any real advantage to buying calipers with a bracket? I have to remove the caliper from the bracket to add grease and put in the pads, so I don't see that it will save me any installation time. At NAPA there is only a $4.00 difference to get them with a bracket.
