Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Bad cv joint in the axle? Sway bar?

    Ok, I'm having two problems. 1) Occasional popping from the front end, not a very sharp pop but more of a clunk. Usually happens while turning and hitting a bump. Inspected tie rods, ball joints, all look fine. Nothing on the sway bar looked bad (that I could tell, maybe i'll post pictures)...

I don't see any on the ground anywhere but it has been wet/snowy because its winter. Lim gasket have been replaced with an aluminum one (a year ago) and UIM and...

    Does this justify buying a new lower motor mount?

    Ive been getting a little vibration in my steering wheel at idle, especially while in drive turning the wheel back and forth. I had my GF turn the wheel while I looked at the engine and it appears the lower motor mount must be worn because it was shaking (not real bad but definitely moving)...

    Not sure if my car is running as good as it should?

    My mods are in my sign. Yesterday just for the hell of it, I decided to go to a back road and see what kind of 0-60 times I could put down. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I timed it by using my Torque App that has a 0-60 time function. I couldn't get anything better then a 8.0 0-60...

    Parking brake is now shot.......

    So yesterday I was about to leave a store and had my parking brake on. It hasn't been working that good for the last couple months. If I'm on a decent hill it will continue to roll. So anyhow, when I went to disengage the parking brake, it wouldn't. I kept trying but to no avail. Something was...

    Ticking noise ?

    Hey Sometimes when I start up my car, I get a ticking noise from under the hood. Its been doing it for about a month now. It doesn't always do it, maybe 35% of the time. So the other day I popped the hood when I heard the noise. Its always the loudest right at start up and gets quieter as it...

    I'm having a problem with my 2002 gt w/ 138k miles. Yesterday I drove home from work and my car ran perfectly normal. Last night, about two hours later I went to meet up with a friend and when I started my car it started right up but died instantly. It was kinda cold last night too, not...

    Electrical system under powered? Dim's and drops in voltage when stopping?

    Ok so here's the scoop. Occasionally when I'm stopping with my headlights on and heat on, my car drops in voltage/power and the lights dim, blower slows down, for a sec then bounces back. Today it did that like 4 times in a row when I was pulling into a gas station. It only does it when I'm...

    Headlight switch acting up?

    Hey everybody, my headlight switch seems to be acting up. It has been doing this for about a year now, but it appears to be getting worse. When I get into my car on a hot day and its warm inside the car, my car makes the chiming noise as if I left the lights on (even though they are not). If I...
