    Well, low and behold. A day after I was bragging about how well the car was running... Driving in stop and go traffic, I hear a click then a progressively loud thud thud. So loud I'm thinking to myself it's a loose rod, maybe a lifter went. Manage to get the car home. Oddly the thump/thud is...

    Ok. I'm about 1000 miles into this rebuilt engine. Can anyone tell me why I would still be smoking? It smokes terribly when I downshift and anytime I am braking after exiting the interstate or after traveling at high speeds. 99 Seville STS. Here's what was done: Jakes head kit installed...

    Hey all, the actuator rod broke a plastic clip up near the outer handle and now the driver's door won't open at all on my father's '91 Sedan Deville. He is having to slide over to/from the passenger side and is too old to be doing this for too long. The electronic actuator is working but the...

    Whats a good outer tie rod brand for these cars? Mine are starting to go and I'm looking to replace them. I'd prefer something with a grease fitting, but I'm only finding one brand (Moog I believe it was) and the want almost $70 a piece. Also are they hard to change on these cars? I changed...

    Does anyone know how to remove a tie-rod from the drag arm when the tie rod puller fails (it crushed the tie rod end), heat fails to liberate it, penetrating oil does not work, and air hammer does not work? I am removing drag arm. So far i have been able to get the lef side tie rod off, and the...

    Found the grease boots on my outer tie rod ends are both torn and looks like salt/water got in and rusted them pretty good. No problems with the steering (yet), but I want to replace those just the same. Browsing around online, I see Delco tie rod ends are the aftermarket type with zerk...

    I got my car checked out by the local mechanic and he said both front outer tie rods were loose, and that the rack and pinion was leaking... I though i was still under GM extended warranty (60/50) but i'm at 52k :banghead: Anyway, he quoted me a price for Moog tie-rods, is it okay to get these...

    On my 472 I've installed the edelbrock intake as well as a new Q-Jet however I the throttle rod seems to be short. This lead me to believe that I might have installed it in the wrong place. The other part I'm holding seems to give it enough of an extension to work but unfortunately I didn't...
