    Help! I snapped lower front shock frame clip nut

    After getting the thing off, I went back and checked the other bolts and all the thread had been stripped. I'm glad you and Guss mentioned the threading. The funny thing is, I went out and bought a rotary tool kit from Harbor Freight just to cut the bolt head off cheap and easy. The metal...

    Help! I snapped lower front shock frame clip nut

    Yeah I used the ones that came in the box with the new shocks. I tried turning the wheel and using vice grips, they kept slipping. So I went out and bought better vice grips, those slipped too. I'm at that point where I would just like to strap a brick to the gas pedal and let this baby fly off...

    Vacuum brakes is this normal?

    Ok, cool. Thanks to the both of you. I'll monitor the sound just out of habit. If it changes, I'll just take the car in. Now that the wife and I had a baby, I just don't have the time to toy with the car like I used to.

    Vacuum brakes is this normal?

    Ok, so I drove the car some more today and realized I gave a terrible description of the noise. The air sound is very similar to that of an old bike tire pump. Like, psssshhhh. You can only hear it during the travel of the pedal down. Not on the travel up, or when it'st fully depressed like...

    Rear Main Seal Issue

    That still doesn't answer my main question :cry: The reason I ask is because I can get a Fel-Pro gasket from any parts store in my location.

    So, I've been needing a rear main seal replacement for like 3 months. :cry: I've been searching for some clear answers for a hot minute and I just can't seem to find my answer. Every link is about how to do it, what tools I'll need, etc, etc. So... Neoprene and Rubber? Aren't they the same...
