Coils and wires are solid. No issues there. Clogged Cat is a maybe. Will say that the car in recent months has had a feel as if it were sort of dragging a bit, but if i accelerated hard it would go like no other. It might be the Cat, but it seems more like the transmission. Thoughts?

No codes. Fluid is fine both in color and level.

So about a month ago when I was on the high way, At around 60mph the car started to act weird. The rpm gauge was fluctuating back and forth and the car itself was shaking and kind of jumpy, when I lowered my speed, it worked fine. On monday, however, The same thing happened at around 10mph. It seems ...

I have used this method before. Works.

Finally going around to fixing my AC system. Went to pepboys and got a can of the r134a with UV dye. Put it in the system and came into an odd problem. The clutch engaged after a a few seconds of charging. The system pressure was basically dancing between 20 and 30 psi, and I mean the needle was ...

been having issues with Trac and ABS lights for a while now. Traced it back to the right rear wheel. Replaced the whole hub(bearing was bad) and the light still comes up and code reads the same hub. So i looked at the male connector and noticed the pins look a little rusty. Tried some conductive ...

I recently had some play in my front driver side wheel. Could of sworn it was a wheel bearing. Went to two mechanics, both said ball joint. Changed the control arm and it turned out they were right.

Weird knocking sound coming from the engine at idle, 800 rpms.
The knocking continues and gets louder up until 1400 rpms, It completely disappears afterwards.
Place the car in drive, there is no knock at idle, or at higher rpm. there is slight tremble and shake though.
Put the car in park ...

dont think its a a cv axle. They look fine and it doesnt sound the same as when my right cv went bad. The weird thing is that is one pop/ click noise and then nothing,.

here is the issue, when i turn the steering wheel all the way and am actually moving(i.e.- parallel parking or just making a right turn) i hear a faint pop or click sound. Now some background info on work that has been done:

Both lower control arms were done less than year ago
Struts and strut ...

One of my pucks is off center by a little bit. Been over a year and haven't had a single issue. I don't know if this mattered but i put the off center one on top.

Not necessarily any problem that needs an answer. The answer is obvious. Just more of an FYI for those who decide to purchase KYB strut mounts. Today I had the pleasure of seeing that my passenger side mount had ripped apart and basically the strut is how loose and rubbing the hood. How old you ask ...

Thanks Haro! made the silly mistake of not checking what it looks like before i pulled it out.

okay, when reinstalling the cv on the passenger side, i noticed that the axle doesnt go all the way in. there is about a quarter inch gap between the axle and the tranny. my questiong is, is it supposed to be like this? i reinstalled it a few time and it always stops in the same spot. i tried ...

Honestly. I did my struts and control arms at the same time. Made it a little easier seeing as it was all apart. I redid all my sway bar bushings and end links with energy suspension. no complaints here.

When I had a bad rack, I was leaking fluid like a bastard. Causing the pump to whine. Other than that, A friend had an issue where his steering was very "stiff" and when he replaced the rack, the steering was fine.

Bad front struts, the car is very bouncy going over bumps. Had this problem a month ...

Everyone says the monroe's do create a ride hide issue.

If you want to retain ride height. Best, easiest, and cheapest way of doing this is buying the strut separately and just assembling it using your own spring.
I personally did this a month or so ago. Bought the KYB stuts and all related ...

Mine started clicking last week. When I went for an alignment, my mechanic showed that it had been losing grease from the around the inner boot.

I was thinking buying a used one from haro and rebooting it. I have read reviews online of new ones not fitting right, or going bad after a year or two ...

Okay this is an opinion question.

I hear everyone here swears by the napa axles. Arent those made by Cardone? I hear mixed reviews about them.
Any recommendations on the brands on rockauto? Are they all made in china stuff?

The other option I have is buying a good used one from haro and just ...

In terms of the history of my car. The front struts were replaced for the first time at 132,000. The rears were replaced at about 95,000 the first time with monroes and now at 132, 000 with kybs. Gives you a rough idea of how long the factory ones can last.
