Yeah, which is why this is a bit of a head scratcher. If the noise comes back I'll get a recording of it. Also, it goes away while driving, not when turned off. Like I'll be idling and then CLICK n...

Well, just seeing what you guys think. For the past few months I've had an odd issue. If I really floor it on takeoff, accelerate very rapidly or otherwise get the RPMs up too high, the next time I ...

Yeah, you don't need it. Just plug the outlet on the intake pipe. It's an option for different engines, but the 7a-fe doesn't have it.

Well, same year and body that I have...how many miles on the suspension? I might be interested in struts and springs if they're in decent condition.

Yes, the consensus is as I would expect from an intelligent community. This thing looks like a joke the more I research it. I love that when they opened it up, it was just a circuit board for the LE...

Alright. I'm not sure if everything's original or not, but I'm going to assume so. Luckily, I have access to air tools, so that should expedite things. Thanks for the info, hopefully I'll get the p...

Also, this will be my first time changing struts, although I'll be having help at the shop. Is it customary practice to change anything else when changing the struts, like mounts or springs? I've le...

Well, the wheel won't spin for 5 seconds with just a hand spin. I'd say it goes maybe 2 or 3 seconds. The shoes in the back are also wearing prematurely; I took the drum off and there was a conside...

Hmm, well I just think it's odd that both brakes on the same side go bad at the same time. Would you suggest just going ahead and replacing the caliper?

Well, after a weekend of traveling on the highway I'm pretty confident it's actually not the bearing. I heard nothing like it all the way for 6+ hours at 60+mph. What I did hear though, after a whil...

You know what though, I'm second guessing it being the wheel bearing. I don't hear anything at high speeds, usually only under 20mph. I'll have to put it on the lift and give a good check next time ...

Well, after listening to a good number of sound bytes and asking around I'm almost positive it's a wheel bearing. I think I can get away with just the bearing and not the whole mount. Are these thin...
