thanks 410, will be looking into changing sleeves. i did replace the radius arm bushings recently. why would the RA bushings move? not tightening the big nut enough or simply cheap bushings? thanks.

the problem... i park the Ex and it has a positive camber. if i let it roll a couple of feet, the tires are now in a negative camber. roll some more, and it is back to positive. i have replaced the front springs and all steering linkages. have not had it aligned. yet. there is play at 12...

_ under it is. huge thanks, Mbrooks.

_ gamblers, i need a green light. i've done as much reading i could find as possible. here are two threads i found on the ExForum... Which kind of leaf springs should I purchase? Rear Leaf Questions i have a 1994 4x4 Ex. the leafs go under the axle. which part should i use? part# 43-967...

A4LD trans? i wish i could buy it off of you. it looks pristine. pls make sure it gets into the proper hands. they sure are harder and harder to find. kills me when i see them in the junkyards. wish i could hoard 'em. welcome!

welcome. the smart-ass in me would relish in voting for option "C". best case scenario is that you hold off for 12 months. once you're 81 years young, get the second-year model and live it up with that one. that first-year model is sure to be improved on.

well, i got crazy removing metal. some metal. just a tiny bit. so check it out... (blurry flashback effect) finally got to the space where i can work on her. i removed both springs. here is a side-by-side of 'em... the spring that did not sit properly is on the right. doesn't it seem like...

much thanks to all on this thread! luckily each time i cold-started, the chirp faded out until the chirp was heard no more. rip bird. still! there was this one time where the belt unleashed a dance beat like none other. an ass-shaker. add some strobes and fog makers, club Ex. i'll work on...

Thanks BK, i will look into it.

they sure are Moog springs. part# CC868. i wasn't planning on sanding the coil, or the tab completely off. i started sanding the top part of the tab just to give some extra space and a smooth surface to slide over. it worked a bit, millimeters worth of a bit. the girth of the pry bar would...

i can't rotate it past a certain point. the spring holds on to the back tabs, it just won't go over the last one. it grips it tight. i have to make an effort to remove it, so it doesn't just hang loosely, but i could see how catching air could be a problem. i'm thinking this particular spring...

a million?! Turdle, it took me a while, but.... wait for it.... i got you a lifetime membership to everyone's fave VHS shop, Blockbuster Video. live it up! popcorn not included. i tried. thanks for your help. when i removed the air intake duct, the doomed tube's path is clearly visible. i...

i couldn't do it. it was a 12-round fight with the coil winning, unanimously. my promoter is already working on the rematch. so, the top end of the coil is almost touching the next ring. the coil that was removed had much more space between the end and the next ring. shoulda checked out the...

driver side spring went in like a charm. pass side is not in the mood to play along. am i making a mistake in leaving it like this? or should i grind/sand until i rotate the coil to the right some more? thanks for your time.

is it dumb to assume that it is better off disconnected, for that colder richer air? either way, much thanks Brian and Kesp for the swift responses. kinda wished that busted hose was the problem for the coughing.

hello everyone. my explorer started vibrating while stopped in gear, coughing every now and then. checking around i noticed my serp belt is tearing up. went underneath to see how far tear went and i noticed this... canteen-like part with the hose or tube obliterated. can anyone tell me...

_murder scene up in there. welcome.

_ do they get along?

_ wish i could write this sideways... welcome.

good laugh. i can relate, swear i had a fuel leak when i was at 14 mpg. good story and welcome.

_ the suspense is killing me!

_ gotta get that thing to scan like Knight Rider's KITT.

_ please tell me they came with badges.

_ btw, i knew it WAS you this whole time.
