The NGK wires work fine and are cheaper, but the Sumitomo set fits better. I was not able to get the distributor cover back on with NGK wires. The Sumitomo boots are also nicer. Asterix

Mine cracked while driving, spraying coolant all over the exhaust manifold. After a tow home, I bought a used one. After installing it, I bought a new one from Toyota. I decided I didn't want it to break again. Unfortunately, the hose clamp on the input side gets tightened too much and the...

I've been using something like this for quite some time. A person who worked on a lot of Fords told me about this tool. Mine is made from bolts that I cupped the tops of with a large drill bit and a threaded-rod coupler. You can get tremendous spreading force easily, then you smack the...

The only connection I can think of between the CEL, battery light, and the tail light light is ground. I'd check the engine ground cable making sure the connections are clean and tight. If your engine ground comes off all kinds of strange things happen as currents find their way back to the...

McMaster can be very overwhelming... Start by entering "polyurethane" into the top left search box. Then pick "rods, cords, & disks" from the shape section. Then choose "polyurethane" from the "Polyurethane and Polyurethane Foam Type" section. Then pick "Hard" from the durometer section. Now...

I second Wiisass. Polyurethane is a much, much choice better than Delrin. Asterix

Graphite powder is conductive, and it's hygroscopic. I'll stick with WD40 or Superlube. Asterix

Have you tried spraying them? Some WD40 can work wonders. Asterix

I have a 1st-gen S3 without any isolation, so tranny noise does come through. The plus is you sure can feel what's going on, which I like enough to put up with the noise. It's way more than just a rod. There's a ball and socket, with a housing around it. I forget how much I paid, but it was...

Not that I've seen. A good locksmith will be able to rebuild the locks. The one I asked said he could, though it's up to me to take them all out of the car. Unfortunately, sets from Toyota aren't available anymore. Asterix

Well, my workbench and vice is stout enough to take 147 ft-lb, so I have done it that way. But, the last time I did this, I decided my impact wrench put out close enough to the right torque, so I just impacted it into place. Considering the size of those threads, I wasn't about to hurt it. My...

It's not hard. Besides a press, you'll also need a strong 2-jaw puller. The TSRM explains it all in fine detail. The order of operations is important. You can use large sockets and the old inner races instead of the special tools shown. The nut is 90179-24005, and costs like $2. You'll also...

The proportioning valve isn't a bad idea except my front and rear brakes are wearing at pretty much the same rate (with the same pad material). At least it's still proportioning properly. It is a cheaper thing to try first, since the valve is a mere $274 from Toyota, rather than $1300 for the...

Thanks, 87nasupra. I was afraid it's the ABS unit. It has to be, by process of elimination. Yesterday, I swapped out my booster for a slightly newer one. Neither are rebuilt units. With both out, I compared the freeplay in them, and they were both the same. The input shaft (pedal side) moves...

It's my considered opinion that you should find a shop that runs their own race cars to align your car, especially if you've put in polyurethane bushings. They will understand that 1/2° or 0.002" makes a difference and a good alignment is more than simply getting the car within spec. Plus, their...

Not to worry - you're not the first with this problem. I had a stock driveshaft out of phase for a while before I learned that it's a problem. I replaced it with a one piece shaft which removed much of my vibration at 60-70mph, but not all of it, even after rebalancing that one. Then, I bought a...

I've been chasing much the same problem for a while now. Nothing seems wrong and I've tried new parts, yet there's still too much pedal travel. Next I need to get an assistant to watch things move as I push the pedal so I can find out where it's sloppy. I'm just afraid there's something in...

A rebuilt rack should be $250 or so. New ones aren't available any more. It's not that bad to replace. The most annoying part is getting an alignment afterwards. Asterix

Pictures of an LSD From these pictures, it looks like the spring is it as far as clutch clamping goes. Asterix
