I've had a "steering pull" to the right for about a year. I'd step on the gas and the car would pull to the right. Let up and it would "correct" itself. So I...

Did you check the steering rack? My steering rack was all worn out and it was pulling. Then when I replaced it and got an allignment it was like a brand new...
$5 says your bearing preload is off. The preload spacers are specific to each complete hub assembly. Mixing and matching parts virtually guarantees that just...
If the heat gets high enough, everything will friction weld itself together and cease rotation immediately. If this happens at any sort of speed, you're in...
This was done by a garage in town. I HAVE to guess he actually looked up the service info while he ws repairing the hub. Rob ... specific to ... guarantees...
Doesn't matter. The service manual just says, essentially, "reset the preload with the correct spacers." That's where the mechanic will have a problem....
Although it is a nice picture is is hard to tell from the pic what it is Supposed to look like. I will go out on a limb here and say that the black part that...
Bob, those are the items I have coming in from autozone. Q: are they thick like spacers, not thin like gaskets? Also, the metal insert that you can see in the...
Hello all, I'm having a real tough time finding the 175/60-13's from any manufacturer/suppplier. I found these guys http://www.tires-easy.ca/ but their...
The metal piece is the spacer, the two pieces you ordered are the gaskets. one for between the intake manifold and the spacer, the other between the spacer and...
Hi, Ian. If you want to stay with something that has a decent chance of handling well, move one size larger -- 185/60-13. You might also consider 165/65-13,...
If it's not very cold where you live, you could probably do without it. That is, you could just take the old one, epoxy it back together, reinstall with new...
Tire Rack still has the Sumitomo 185/60/13 for 39.00 ea. You might talk to them about shipping to Canada. I just a set of the Nexen 175"s friday from TiresEZ,...
I think that Burgess gets the prize. I checked out the cars electrical first and found the wires not seated all the way in the distributor. One wire had some...

Antifreeze is relatively cheap. Change it every two years. On Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 7:33 PM, john johnson <dextercattleco2@...> ... [Non-text portions of...
Keep in mind, this is the same hub that was pulling to the right prior to the bearing failure. Now its got NEW bearings AND still PULLS. HOW could it still be...
I thought you said it was pulling *because* of the bearing failure (don't have your original post and too lazy to go online and look it up -- sorry). If this...
I disagree on this one. Maybe you have not seen this before, but I have had anti-freeze separate out into a slimey gel that floated in the upper radiator. This...
