    Vibration driving me crazy!

    Does it vibrate when you are on the gas, coasting on the brakes, decelerating, etc.?

    This piece... brake booster plug?

    all you need is an inline one-way check valve somewhere in that line, find a fitting that goes into the brake booster and attach your hose to that fitting if the valve doesn't fit into the booster itself. use vacuum line to attach the valve to the booster and plenum as needed and it should work...

    Looking for extra tips before changing tie rods

    mark the threads where your tie rod locking nut and and the end of the tie rod on the rack before removal so you can tighten the new one down to the same threads so your alignment isn't too far off after the install. I just use one of those silver sharpies. saves a whole heck of a lot of time...

    trans issue - was fine, then whining noise, next day slipping, now nothing

    check fluid, if that doesn't alleviate it get a mainline pressure test, the only other thing I can think is maybe front pump issues not building enough pressure.

    Help!! Car smells like fuel, inside and out.

    Does it smell after sitting for a few days? I know I changed spark plugs and had a comeback for fuel smell and figured I had messed with the injector o-rings while working in the area. I thought I had isolated the leak with a 5-gas analyzer sniffing for hydrocarbons when I found an increase...

    Front Wheels shake with new brake pads and turned rotors when applying brakes?

    I dare you to find a Factory rotor application that has "warped" from heat and not developed runout from uneven wear. It simply doesn't happen... but that is beside the point of the thread, so I digress......

    Front Wheels shake with new brake pads and turned rotors when applying brakes?

    In addition to my previous post I might add..... rotors do not warp it is a commonly used term when it's just flat out wrong. the only way a rotor gains runout is by uneven wear and stacked tolerances being off, or improper machining.

    Front Wheels shake with new brake pads and turned rotors when applying brakes?

    +1 on the warpage being turned into the rotor, it happens a lot. Anymore it's almost cheaper and better piece of mind to buy new than to have one turned. When we turn our rotors we only do it with an on vehicle lathe which eliminates the possibility of runout being machined into the rotor. After...

    how to tell which rear bearing is bad?

    If it's a howl it's normally gears like someone said. check your diff fluid since it's easy just in case. also the way I learned to check wheel bearings was the method of grabbing the wheel and trying to feel any movement as previously mentioned.

    8.8 28 Spline IRS trac-loc

    That Steeda is a torsen LSD, which IMO is a much sturdier and heavy duty LSD than the trac-loc system,which I believe uses clutch plates on the outside of the side gears inside of case.
