Hey Ed! I wish I could help you as you've helped me in the past, but I've never done front control arms. (Now if you were doing rears....:) Best of luck to you! See you at the Nats! Kristi

Can a front cam bearing be removed and replaced without taking the motor out of the car? If so, what special tools are required? Thanks! Kristi

A few weeks ago, Kristi and I were driving to the World of Wheels car show to get a winter hot rod fix. A friend of ours, who was following us to the convention center, was driving his 6-speed 2001 WS6 Trans Am. His car benefits from a stout camshaft, fully-ported heads, headers, and big pipes...

It looks like we may have a problem with our voltmeter. (It figures) We are going to re-run the tests as soon as possible, and will let you know what we find. Once again, Steve, we really appreciate your help on this. Kristi

This board has been great to me. It's the least I could do!! :D

I would recommend using the 200r4 over the 700r4. The first gear in the 700r4 is too deep, especially with 3.73s. The car will be severely traction limited in first gear, and the gear split between first and second gear is too great for good quarter mile performance. I agree with the...

Steve...Please Help! Here's the latest...We (again) visually verified the battery ground to the turbo bracket (new battery cable), the battery ground to the fender, and the firewall ground. These grounds are clean and tight. With the key in the run position, we probed the TPS: Probing the...

Thank you very much....I truly appreciate all the step-by-step directions, as I have never had this type of problem before. We will run this test first thing tomorrow and post the results. I love this board......

The forward LCA bolt is accessible using an extension and an 18mm socket, as mentioned above. In rare cases, the exhaust may need to be loosened to allow access to the inside bolt near the muffler.

We have not had a chance until today to try to determine the problem as the weather has not been very cooperative. We checked the major grounds at the back of the passenger side cylinder head today (hoping that we'd missed one), but they were all attached. We did check the battery...

We just installed a brand new engine in our 1986 T-Type. Since the installation, the ECM does not read the TPS sensor as it changes (Scanmaster displays idle setting of .42, even at WOT - engine off), the O2 sensor is lazy and generally reads lean at idle and cruise, and O2 cross counts are...

I have purchased a 30 day unlimited CARFAX account. I will be happy to run any VINs sent to me until my account runs out. E-mail your VIN to me, and I'll respond as soon as possible. I will not be monitoring this post, so make sure you contact me via e-mail. I can't promise I'll be able to...

Not a Tranny Expert But... My understanding is that the governor controls WOT upshifts. If you have issues with part throttle upshifts occurring late (or not at all), I'd look at the TV cable and then the valve body. If it is a WOT issue, a governor failure is a fairly simply repair. Alan...

I would suggest using lower control arms with polyurethane bushings at both mounting points, especially for a car that will see 90% street use as you've stated. The poly bushing offers many advantages over the steel bushings used in the SSM bar, including the preservation of the frame mounting...

Paul (HRPartsNStuff) does make a very nice product, but I have installed METCO LCAs on numerous Buicks and I have never had to do any grinding on the sway bar to make it fit. It is a very exact fit, but no adjustment was needed. The actual install of the LCAs is pretty straightforward...

We ran a set of BFG 275/60-15's on the original 7" (or 7.5"?) wide aluminum wheels on the rear of our 1986 Monte SS. This tire is very tall on this size rim, and has an appreciable effect on the speedo (reads nearly 10% slow on the hi-way) and on the effective final drive ratio (feels like a...

The METCO lower control arms will work perfectly with the ATR rear sway bar. The METCO sway bar ((also 1 3/8" diameter) has the same dimensions as the ATR unit, and we use both items on our cars (see sig). E-mail me for more info on the METCO lowers - We are distributors for METCO and have...

Thanks Steve Your help is very much appreciated. We did probe the ECM connection under the driver's side of the dash (I'm not certain which terminals we used) and confirmed that the same no-update problem shown on the scanmaster was evident at that ECM connector. If the TPS wiring was the...

TPS Output We did probe the TPS with a voltmeter and confirmed the proper output. The Scanmaster and ECM are not receiving this data as it updates, however.
