Re: please helpppp

Dude, you think thats bad? Try owning a convertible. Its like driving an old old wooden ship :( But i'm getting some subframe connectors, and i know my rear shocks are getting weak. I'll do something about that this summer.


"Ron, I don't think the network is concerned over the lack of an old old wooden ship" :D

Re: please helpppp

doesnt the vert already have SFCs? i'd like to do springs too, but i dont have the $$$ right now, luckily i have a friend with a spring compressor and they will be easy enough to change when i get the $$$

Re: please helpppp

try lubing the bushings. my phr rod ends started to rust and creaked and groaned like crazy. lubing them made it all go away.

Re: please helpppp

In my 89 I replaced all my bushings with Polly ones, did sfc a made sure all my plastic was tight, new shock mounts, and springs, shut her up real fast.

My '95 is loud as heck, too much plastic crackin and making noise, so same will go with her, all new bushings, shocks, mounts, and springs, along with sfc and alot of glue and sound spray for all the plastic panels to shut them up.

Also another good one to make it hit hard on bumbs, just weld yourself in a roll cage :)
