    Rattling in front end

    Me too either... I have the same symptoms, can't find the noise source. I am replacing the brake pads as a last ditch effort. The rattling seems to lessen, stop if I apply brakes when road is rough enough to cause such rattling. Turning up the radio works temporarily... Yvon

    Regarding oil, would 10W30 work

    No 5-W-30? I can't believe you can't find 5 w 30 in Richmond Hill. I would change to 5-W-30 in the winter if you go through with the switch to 10-W-30 though. Just my opinion. Good luck

    bushing removal help?

    I haven't done any lift but have read up on some but still concerned about that very thing of fighting with the hardware :mad: . If you've done the necessary prep work: spray the break free n wait, removing brake lines, fan shroud, and all other gotchas, try undoing all the body mount bolts on...

    E-Brake Problem

    E-brakes You might want to try tightening the shoes via the rear brake self adjusters. No tools are even required for this part. :thumbsup: On a straight stretch of non-occupied road, put the vehicle in reverse and back up, subsequently applying the brakes aggressively. REdo this 2-3 times...
