    $200 winter beater! knock knock?

    cool thanks, hopefully it does not cause me any issues in the future, all fluids are sparkly clean, and good gas mileage so far from what i can tell. i was just curious if someone has a parts motor laying around i could snag a sensor from.

    $200 winter beater! knock knock?

    Do I necessarily need to go with new? I was quoted almost $70 to replace, half the time I swap sensors out with known good ones from other motors. Can it just be cleaned?

    watch your nuts!

    I put it on with an impact wrench with plenty of pressure, I think what happened was the balljoint spun with the nut and did not actually torque down properly. I used a tire iron on wheel nut and I had to hold it with a pair of vice grips. its still holding so I guess we will see when I start...

    watch your nuts!

    I just replaced the entire knuckle, brakes, strut etc... With the ones from my parts car in far better condition. This car has 250k, I think this is going to be the last balljoint I'm going to be replacing on this car. I wagon, I am in sopo but I can go anywhere in the greater Portland area, I...

    watch your nuts!

    Now I'm paranoid so I want to weld this lugnut straight to the control arm. If that had fallen off on the highway there would be no more subie.

    Always remember to double check your nuts and bolts you do it your selfers! I just had the nut holding on my balljoint to the lower control arm let go (castle nut nowhere to be found) and the cotter pin missing??? Anyways, just a friendly reminder so no one else gets caught with uber camber in...

    clutch throw out shift fork broken?

    anyone want the old transmission for a rally rig or parts? 4.11 FD goes into all gears fine except for 5th synchro's are a bit worn. I wanted the other transmission because it has less miles and has higher ratios in 3-5 for better highway mileage. make any offer, ill probably take it.

    clutch throw out shift fork broken?

    I pulled the intake off and looked down inside, its indeed cracked. I compared it to a good fork I just picked up. the clutch slave cylinder moves freely and fully now, it just had really dirty fluid in it. I now have it jacked up 2' and pulled the exhaust off. what is the best point to support...

    clutch throw out shift fork broken?

    I did my clutch about 8k ago almost exactly one year ago when I first bought it so nothing by the engine will be difficult, I'm more concerned about how to separate the rear drive shaft and what's the best technique getting it lined back up again. Cherry pickers can be adjusted, but floorjacks...
