    Front end Bang????

    Rustang©, I found out something new from my mechanic.That low clunking noise has to do not only with RA's,but coil springs as well.He told me that when them springs are new,they come with plastic protectors up on top and as time goes,those protectors just break down and we're looking at...

    Front end Bang????

    Hi,guys!Thanks for keeping in touch. Noved87, Thanks for your post,i had no idea about those bushings that you mentioned and i'll ask my mechanic about them. Rustang©, It came down to the bearings when they were changing front brakes and rotors,and at the same time the bearings were re-packed.So...

    Front end Bang????

    I just went to the mechanic yesterday and he changed the RA bushings,he put in the heavy duty red ones.The banging under the front end is gone,but it would still slightly clank at times at some really sharp turns.Maybe that's rather because of the brackets,though?But anyway,the truck feels and...

    Need Help Please!!!! Idle Problems!

    I agree with Mr.Shorty.Actually i used to have a similar thing going on with my previous car,it wasn't an EX,though,that was a 92 oldsmobile cutlass supreme and what's unusual is that it was 5speed manual.What happened was the idle speed up to almost 2000 rpm when started.Then came the day when...

    me, my history, and my explorer dilemma

    I got a question for Tony H :) You had mentioned the spacers to put in between the rim and the lugs.Where would you suggest i can get them from?Do they put any extra load at the lugs at all?Just trying to figure how safe it would be for the lugs and bearings because the rim would be a 1/4 inch...

    diesel like sound

    Yeah,i got the same or similar symptom,but my eX is much older,it's 94 2 door 5 speed 4x4,so speaking of mine i guess it's more likely because of it's age.However,there's only about 97k miles at the clock.It happens,as an example,while going uphill,or about 40 mph as having a tach below...
