Suspension / suspension overhaul gone wrong!
« on: April 11, 2011, 08:26:20 PM »
After driving the car today it was still making the noise. I decided to get it back up on the lift and go over everything one more time. After looking at a diagram on real oem i realized my washers were in the wrong place. I probably should have looked at this first.
Im glad it was my own stupidity and it was an easy fix.
Ill get u guys a pic of the new wheels.. I want to know what you guys think.

the rubber top hats were replaced a year ago and the rubber insulators were not replaced. they looked fine. the tie rods are twc i believe. how can you tell if a joint is bad?

I decided to lower my car last week with m3 springs and billies.After i was finished I took it to the mechanic to have it aligned and he said i needed new tie rods. I went back and replaced them. After doing this, this is when the noise began. i was left with a thumping noise when i turned the wheel. it only happens when the car is stopped or at very low speeds. sounds as if the spring recoils then pops back into place.
I decided to take a closer look today to make sure i did everything properly.
After putting my car back on the lift I found I was missing a washer on the driver side strut. After replacing the washer and realigning the spring and strut I bolted everything down with an air gun.
after lowering the car it still made the noise.. you can feel it in both strut towers and it sounds like the spring recoils and the pops back into place. there was also a sound that felt like metal and rubber rubbing together. not sure whats going on.
I did replace the tie rods and the noise started after that was completed so I check to make sure i ordered the right ones and I did.
The only thing i have left to try at this point is to bring it back to the alignment shop who told me to get new tie rods in the first place.
Anyone have any ideas?

Im supposed to take the car out to PA today and i pulled out of the drive way and there was a pool of antifreeze. I had previously done a throttle body delete and thought i might be leaking from the end caps. After looking under the hood i noticed the leak was coming from the front of the engine, not where my hose delete caps were. After closer inspection i decided that i wanted to change the thermostat and the gasket along with the water pump. I started pulling everything apart and i now have the belt off and the thermostat out but i cannot figure out how to get the water pump out. when i spin the fan bolt the whole unit spins. is there an easier way to remove the water pump. i know theres a specific tool but i dont have time to go out and purchase one. I would appreciate any input.

Electrical / help with brake light out
« on: January 14, 2010, 06:46:25 PM »
the bulb works fine when the head lights are on but when the brake is applied only the drivers side light goes out. all of the other brake lights work fine. I tried moving things around and I noticed that there was water that collected in the lens itself. could something have shorted out? im not sure what would cause this problem. could the cover that holds the bulbs be bad?
