    Downpipe and Elbow I want your opinions...

    I have the BIC NON-Divorced ceramic coated downpipe. Its sweet and does a great job.... Trust me getting the bolts loose from the elbow is a lesson in why I bought the FULL DOWNPIPE That included the elbow. Just deleting the precat made a huge difference.... I dont have higher boost (still...

    Rear Strut 'bearing' How can you test?

    Well I can say that the bump stops DO make a difference so do bad shocks. 3 shocks were just gone. They are now sitting on the floor in the garage with and not extending. The old rear springs were SHORTER than the Eibachs I installed. We put the new boots on (used old strut mounts), new...

    Rear Strut 'bearing' How can you test?

    Oh and because it seems to be a pressure assembly it does seem to be one peice.... I am not prying mine apart to see.. Im going to run with it... The bump stops in the rear were the clunking... Odd clunk in the rear = bump stop worn out. V

    Rear Strut 'bearing' How can you test?

    Thats odd... The dealer keeps suggesting that it would be a good idea to replace the bearing as it could cause my clunking sound... I found that my shock was quite gone... Along with my bump stops... When I get a chance Ill try to find the expoded view of that part... Heck Napa lists it...
