    Poor handling / steering wheel play

    I was wondering if there were any gains on replacing the top ones only and not the lowers.

    Poor handling / steering wheel play

    Replacing the lower ball joints with the longer ones will cause the front to lower a little. I know this will help with cornering, but I'm already dropped 2'' and would rather not go lower.

    Poor handling / steering wheel play

    No, I'm using moog stock replacements for uppers and lowers. I have DSE springs up front and don't want to lower it anymore. Any advantages to installing the .5'' longer ball joints for the upper's only?

    Poor handling / steering wheel play

    I took back the the steering box and exchanged it for another. I was going to wait until my DSE steering box came in, but they are on back order for a couple months. The replacement improved the slop a little, but didn't remove it completely. As Charlie mentioned, doesn't seem like they are...

    Poor handling / steering wheel play

    The gearbox was replaced two weeks ago with a remanufactured one from advanced auto. I'll try this as well. I need to get under the car to see if the arm moves when the shaft is moved.

    Poor handling / steering wheel play

    Thanks for the detailed description. There is definitely something I still need to work on. Small steering movements seem to move the gearbox but not the pitman arm. I need to make sure the shaft is not loose where it connects to the column. I'll also look into the tilt bolts.

    Poor handling / steering wheel play

    Couple good suggestions. I will take a look this weekend. I had someone wiggle the steering wheel and didn't notice any play in the shaft. Is it normal for the gearbox to have little play? When the steering wheel is moved the steering box moves as well without any of the steering components...

    Poor handling / steering wheel play

    I've been trying to get my car to handle better and have replaced a lot of parts. My steering wheel has a little play which doesn't seem normal to me. Feels like there's play between 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock positions. I also feel the car should be handling much better considering all the parts...

    Low BLM

    Update on what was causing my BLM numbers to read low. I ended up replacing my Armstrong chip for a Turbo Tweak and all my issues went away. BLM is reading 128, my idle is nice and smooth and the smell of raw fuel coming from the exhaust has decreased significantly. I took the car for a drive...

    Steering gearbox replacement

    I had the car aligned right before installing the gearbox. I had replaced the steering shaft and all steering components, took it in for an alignment. When I got the car back I wasn't satisfied with the handling so decided to replace the gearbox. The old gearbox had play in it so I'm thinking...

    Steering gearbox replacement

    I replaced my gearbox with one from Advanced Auto Parts. I bought the one that's for the sports suspension FE3 option. After installed my steering wheel is not straight anymore. Seemed like there was only one way of installing the pitman arm. Is this an issue with how it was installed or...

    Low BLM

    Sorry, meant to say vacuum drops with line on. Drops to 37. Line off is at 43. BTW adjusting the IAC and TPS raised BLM's to 100.

    Low BLM

    The injectors are definitely set for the chip in the car. I found the package and directions that were left from the previous owner. Fuel pressure drops instantly when vacuum is removed. This issue was happening long before I changed the MAF to the 85mm. I was running the stock MAF before so...

    Low BLM

    I'll take a look at the IAC. Readings do go up as I drive but stay at 0 while I'm idling.

    Low BLM

    Readings posted were all at idle. BL jumps to 120 while driving. I'm using the 6.25 translator set to ON ON ON OFF and 0 at WOT. I had this issue before changing the MAF. I was hoping it would help but nothing changed.

    Low BLM

    I'm having an issue with my BLM reading pretty low. Couple weeks ago it was reading 90-92. I replaced the stock MAF with a 85mm, reset the ECM and drove the car a few miles. BLM is still reading low at 96. Took a look at the plugs to see if there was a noticeable issue and all of them looked...

    Installing the Remote Keyless Entry

    I installed mine couple weeks ago with no issues either. ktbregal, did you remove the screw on the relay for better access? If you don't put the screw with bracket back on, the locks will not work. If the locks are working fine without the module and everything is wired properly, it could be...

    Lots and lots of parts, NOS, turbo, front mount, injectors, cold air

    Is the up pipe stock? I'm looking for a stainless steel one.
