    Time to say goodbye to the old girl.

    Still runs strong after 272K miles but wanting something with less problems for my daily driver. Picked up a CTS 2 door. Also bought a parts LS that I now have to figure out what to do with. Lol

    Abs issues but no light.

    Rust caused the pad material to separate from the backing plate. Notice the second pic.

    Abs issues but no light.

    Got it figured out. Corrosion between the rear sensor and mounting bracket. When it would get wet it would expand and push the sensor away from the tone wheel creating too much of an air gap. That was a tough one to figure out because it would act fine when dry. Lol

    Abs issues but no light.

    I'll start with the right rear. The pad material fell off the backing plate and found a bunch of metal shavings in the lip of the wheel. Found the pad material in my driveway. Lol

    Abs issues but no light.

    2000 V6. Just in the last few days the abs will kick on with light brake application but not when braking heavy. No abs light so this is an odd one for me

    Out with the old, in with the new/used

    Needed to replace a lower ball joint but bearing was seized in the knuckle. Bought a parts car so stole the steering knuckle out of it and scored as the parts car knuckle had a new ball joint and unit bearing in it! Might as well replace the upper too.

    Front right suspension squeak

    Just wanted to follow up on this. Turned out to be a bad lower ball joint. I had replaced this ball joint with a Moog one and it made the same creak as before so I was sure that it was not the sound. I got fed up with the noise and pierced the ball joint boot then lubed with lithium grease in a...

    Front right suspension squeak

    Got a front right suspension squeak/creak that is hard for me to pin down. 2000 V6. It makes a loud creak when hitting bumps or turning the steering wheel or even when braking and releasing the brakes. I have replaced the lower ball joint and the upper control arm/ball joint. Seems like when I...

    Stripping a 2000 v8

    I did the same thing. So far I have taken the Hydraulic fan solenoid, 4 lug nuts, and headlight out of the parts car. Went to take a front upper control arm off of it last night and found the ball joint was bad on it too. Lol. I figured when I take all the brake parts off of it, it will be...
