    Getting tuned up an running smooth again

    I know a lot of maintenance was done 4 years ago by the previous owners a month before purchase. I really wish I had the list because I don't have $300+ to spare on replacing my spider at the moment. Will definitely be noting all that I find and be posting scan results

    Getting tuned up an running smooth again

    no check engine light for misfire an the closest place wants $90 to hook the computer up an take a look. An yes i would regap the plugs after changing the coil. As for the cap an rotor I have no idea why I didn't check or replace them when I did plugs an wires I know better than that. Guess...

    00 Z71 Control Arm problems

    yep, better design with open access to the swaybar endlink bolts, much beefier but they changed the key size and orientation. Also changed shock type and has slightly smaller diameter ball joint shafts

    00 Z71 Control Arm problems

    Unfortunately Maic i don't have a simple year model. It's a 2000 but old body style so i often have to specify old body style when asking about parts. These control arm are forged an not stamped like the originals which i haven't found anywhere, so they are much heavier. Not Rockauto...

    00 Z71 Control Arm problems

    Ordered in all new upper and lower control arms for my Z71 an noticed the new one have different shock mounts. I'm thinking this might cause me some problems. My thoughts... A - I could return them an then have to deal with trying to find the right bushing to press in OR B - Make an...
