are you gonna do a hub swap or machine the cobra rotors??
I've got a pair of Corvette C4 PBR calps for sale that will work (if you bore the spindle bolt holes about 3mm larger)...100 plus s/h
 
Radiator replacement

Finally replaced the orginial cracked raidator in my 95 LSC. Should have done it a long time ago.
 
Anyone have a link to a lower control arm replacement? Just so I do thing's in order! And I'm asking again.....where do you get the TRW's from???

seems that my oil filter adapter gasket has stopped leaking for the most part. Right now there's 1/2 dinosaur 5w30 and the other 1/2 is synthetic. All oil is Mobile1. It looks like I'll be forced to use full dino oil until I replace that darn gasket.

Take everyones advise and replace the gasket NOW!

Mine stated leaking on way to work. When I started it at lunch it just dumped a few quarts in the lot. Luckily I worked at a dealership at the time so I was able to pull it in and put it on a lift to do a gasket swap.

Once it starts leaking it's a quick countdown :eek:
 
Spree just call around
I used Moog lowers last time I think for a t-bird
I like mine greasable
Along with checking auto stores check rock auto and Amazon

+100000! Fix it ASAP. And be careful tightening that OPSU. My housing was already cracked, so when I tigntened the OPSU it broke the housing. And make sure you use teflon tape on that OPSU. It's not a terribly difficult job. It's just a PITA to get to a couple of the top bolts. And you will get covered in oil and antifreeze and you'll have to burp it. But it's worth it to get it fixed. :)

On another note, got the steering gear box installed in the Exploder yesterday. But the power steering pump is shot too. Didn't know that until I got it started and filled it full of fluid. The pump screams like a banshee :mad: So now it needs a P/S pump. Dammit. And the alignment is out like crazy. The toe is out 1.2" on the driver side :eek: She hit that tree pretty hard!

HOLY SHIZNIT!!!!!!!!! Somebody actually put one of these on fleabay and DIDN'T CALL IT A STRUT!!!! I can't believe it!!!!! The world must be coming to an end... :rolleyes: I'm going to have to save this item and print it out and frame it!!!!!!!!! :lol: And that's a damn good price too!

Got my LCA's from Amazon dot com. Pretty good price too. They were Moog, but from what I understand, Moog and TRW are essentially the same thing made by the same company.
 
How on earth do you tighten up sway bar end links?!

I've done it once before and cant figure out how.
 
I'm assuming that cause you are having this problem you don't have air tools.
In that case use the old nut to start it or at least a nut that can free spin.
 
after work, adjusted/shortened the rear springs: removed the upper isolators and the air bag scalp from the snowflake perch...I think this is the height I want, 1.5'' lowered and not jacked up looking in the rear

I was told (and just did mine) with unloaded suspension just get the nut started (on the bottom)...lower the car, drive it around the block, then park it, tighten the nuts so that you can still spin the sleeve (with an Addco)...don't want to bind, then snap it
