I real smoke test needs to be done by an EVAP smoke machine costing hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
If there is any rust on the filler neck, just replace it as that surely the problem. |

| They come out the top, so the rear dash piece needs to come out. In order to get that out, you need to remove the C-pillar trims and also the back of the rear seat. It's no small task just for a speaker change. They are 6x9's. |

| Get a scantool that can read live data and then watch the misfires to see which cylinder(s) is your culprit. That will eliminate a lot of diagnosing.

| Bleed off any fuel pressure at the schrader valve. Remove the 4-10mm nuts that hold the fuel rail down and then pry it up. You can leave the fuel lines connected. Release the clips and then wiggle/pull out the injectors. |

Nothing 2000+ will be compatible. It was a complete platform redesign.
This is a discontinued part, no dealers will have it. You'll need to source it used somewhere. It can come from a Bonneville or LeSabre. |

| Wheel bearings can sometimes be tricky to determine what side is bad. You are talking entirely about the left front, have you looked into the right front? I always replace wheel bearings in pairs because if one side failed, the other is probably on its way out. |

| Yes, Monsoon. Yes, better than a lower trim. It's an 8-speaker system with an amplifier. The lower trims have 4-6 speakers with no amplifier. |

| Once you remove the airbox and the upper radiator support brace with the 4-15mm bolts, you'll have lots of room to do the job. The fans are just 2-10mm bots and the condenser is also 2-10mm bolts. Burping the coolant system will be the most challenging part. |

I remember it being similar to a #194 bulb, and then its delivered via a fiber optical tube thing.
After removing the shifter knob, remove 2 screws in the ash tray and then the whole assembly pivots up. |

A Bonneville SE isn't really considered a luxury car, but it will certainly be closer to that status after having door panels.
I have all the parts you could need. I'm located in MN, where are you? |

Yes they are different because the SSEi has a bigger differential and larger diameter axle.
Driver sides are fully interchangeable. Passenger side is not. |
