Re: strut change question

thanks guys, yeah that what I did after I youtubed it. I wasn't sure if i really needed to change them or not until I got them out. they pushed all the way down and wouldn't come back up. whole job cost me 120 bucks, not bad. Hope it fixed the slight vibration I developed.

Re: High Mileage ? and note on '02 SE.

I have never used the aluminum but have read quite a few posts where members recommend the metal ones from GM, if I ever have to replace again I will go with those.

I have a leaky oil pan gasket as well, how terrible of an idea would it be to clean it up real good and put some high temp gasket sealer on it to keep it from leaking?

Re: will this sunroof fit?

yeah I emailed Haro a while back and it was going to be 100 plus 100 to ship then install cost. I never had a sunroof before so the fact that it doesn't open is ok. The motor works it just won't move.
