After pulling the RR wheel to see just how bad the damage is, the axle is not free-floating, so on a trailer it goes. Just have to find one. Man, it's hot in...
Bummer dude. Yeah, no full floating axles under Suzukis unless someone put one there. Pretty rare except under 3/4 ton and up trucks and Land Cruisers of...
all three planes. Besides round and round, it goes in, out, up, down, and sideways. I'm gonna be a calling-around fool while here in the mountains west of ...
Yep. The diff was making bad noises, I had no logical choice but to tow it with all four wheels on the ground about 700 miles, parked it, searched Dallas, TX,...
...to find a freakin' 5.13 'Kick diff in Denver, of all places, home to pretty much every four-wheel-drive/all-wheel-drive vehicle ever produced. I'd wager...
Unless you're planning on selling the thing...and then warn us...please man, just get a whole new housing. Either another GV/Vit/Tracker rear axle and then a...

(this is a re-post.. got no answers) Hi All, How in the heck do you change the light bulbs out over the license plate? Daughters Grand Vitara has -both- of...
...but both my wife and I have absolutely had it. She can't drive it 'cause of a fused left ankle, and there are more and more days when having to work a...
... Which locality are you in/ what is the location of the license plate? If it's in/below the rear bumper, the lenses simply twist out. Pretty sure it's the...
Sorry, I should have been more specific... she has a '02 GV w/plate mounted up on the back door. I can see and feel the light covers, but they will not turn....
... mounted up on the back door. ... Affraid to use pliers which will probably break the cover and bulb... then in a real mess as won't be able to get the...
to my wife, and she immediately vetoed me. Granted, she can't drive it, which is a problem, and she's not thrilled, nor am I, about it's lack of luxury...and...
You're so right...0-60 in 6.4-6.8 seconds, depending on who you believe. I've seen video of 'tweaked' ones quarter-miling in 12.1. It's kinda eerie, they just...

Last week I had the weirdest part break Iv'e had in 20+ years driving. A disk break broke! (I will put pictures in the photo section) separating the cebter...
WOW! I've never seen one *break*, but I have seen them work down to the point the cooling ribs *are* the friction surface. Scary is right. Hope you weren't...
I was going slow downhill, thank God... but the noise I heard was terrible, pedal to the floor and the worst scraping noise you can imagine. To stop, I guess...
Wow...that's odd. I have seen drilled rotors crack due to heat and stress along the path of the vent holes but never a regular rotor. ... terrible, pedal to...
Check the front axle (Dana 30's) unit bearings, u-joints, and ball joints. Check the rear axle's fluid. If I remember correctly it's an odd Aluminum Dana 44....
I had the same thing happen many years ago on a Jaguar MK2 sedan. They had twin opposing calipers (Dunlop/Bendix) and if one caliper got sticky the pressure of...
I've had drilled rotors once, I was trying to prevent severe warping on the '95 Dodge Intrepid we had. It didn't help, but I started searching frantically for...
What's funny is we looked at another one, tonight. Lower mileage, better condition, though at a dealer. At least it had been there such a short period of...
...so...what kinda damage am I likely to find when I pull the wheel/brake backing plate, tomorrow? I'm hoping I can clean all the debris out, have a new...
Well you could find just a dead bearing. or you could add to that a dead axle or a dead housing or all of it... Depends on what part of what failed first and...
the bearing is in many, many pieces. The axle looks okay. The housing isn't bad. I have an extra seal, but I'll need not only a new bearing but also an ABS...
Going to be putting my Yellow Box speed recalibrator in our 2002 XL7. I need access to the wires going into the gauge cluster. How do you get to all of this?...
