Thanks for the help guys, Got it done in less than an hour (or would have been if autozone put the rights parts in the right boxes). Got it done with wheels on the floor without much ado. I just used the $14 ones from autozone in the end. We'll see how they last. Thanks for your help

Hi, Yes I'm on the front bar, but did not want to remove it if I didnt have to. Can I just do this from the floor without jacking it up. There shouldnt be any stress on it now right? Thanks Alex

Hey there, the sway bar links on my 2000 Explorer have lost the bushings on them and are hanging freely so need to be replaced. Can i just do this as it is or do i need to remove the sway bar entirely? (everything I find explains how to do it as a whole. I have checked the bushings on the...

Great Post, thanks for the time and pictures. I'll tack this on to my weekend list, upper control arms, lower ball joints, radiator replacement and new shocks. May aswell get it all done in one go. Alex

Thanks for the tip, I shall have a look into it and see what I can find. Its been a week since i topped it up and I think it might be getting low again so time to find the leak I guess. I saw some freon with sealant in it. Do you reccomend this or just find the problem first? Is there a...

Lesson Learned I didnt run it like that so no problem there. Lesson of the day, never ask an idiot to do something simple. I asked a colleague (a race car mechanic of all things) to check the freon and he said it was good and the pressure was good. After checking it myself the level was...

When driving with the A/C on, the compressor cycles on and off every 15-30 seconds, and you can feel the power drop just for a split second. I have checked the pressure and this seems to be fine. Whilst the air isnt super cold, it still remains cool. I'm nervous about driving like this (just...

Not compressor Hi, I have checked the EGR valve and this appears to be fine. If I disconnect it at Idle there is no vacuum and it appears to be working ok although I havent taken it off and cleaned it. (any tips on this?) I have now noticed that it only makes this change when in gear but...

thanks for the reply, I wondered about that also but it does the same thing if the ac/heater is off completely.
