Lets assume the measurments from the chassi shows the same thing. How do I go about leveling it?

The driver side rear end sags. Measure from floor up it is 27" on the driver side and 28" on passenger side to the edge of the wheel well. From the top of the tire up to wheel well its 3.5" on the driver side and 4.5" on passenger side. It was like this when I got it about 2 years back and I...

I changed the differential lube and added 2 bottles of additive along with 3 pints of new mobile1 synthetic lube. Not an easy job either. Tight area to work in. Had to use a pump to suck it out and put the new in. Even with the pump its hard to get enough room to get the pump tube in but after...

I just had the A/C checked a week ago and they did add some freon but said everything checked fine. Now just tonight on my way home the auto light started flashing and just warm air came out. I switched it to off and the off light kept flashing then after about a minute it stopped. Switched back...

It does not do it when I accelerate but after I reach cruising speed. Does not matter if the cruise control is on or off it does it. If anything it seems during acceleration it never does it but only when the rpms are low then I will get intermitten hot then cold.I was thinking maybe a vacuum...

I have a 95 coupe with auto climate control. The problem is when set on auto and the temp set to 60 or any temp as far as that goes , I get hot air blowing in only for a few seconds then it goes back to cold and sometimes it is just warm air but it only last a few seconds then goes back to cold...

Got em out and the new ones back in. The tool I was loaned from Auto Zone did the trick. It took a breaker bar with a pipe extension to press the joints out and back in. The hardest part was getting the press and the new ball joint lined up to go in straight. If anyone is thinking about doint...

I have a 95 LT1. Went for a lineup and they say it needs lower ball joints. Thay want $600 to do the job. I got ball joints for about $150. I got a big C clamp type press from Auto Zone that is supposed to press out the ball joint. H a s A n y o n e D o n e T h i s ?? I got the spindle...

Thanks for that one Tlong. I will try that. Will post results ASAP.

I got the bearing from Ecklers. It was not AC delco. Delco was $264.00 and these were $149.00. I run less than 5,000 miles a year and do not race. Ecklers will tell you its pretty much the same thing ,you just aren't paying for the name however others will say the off brand is cheaper quality...

When checking for wheel movement I was told to rock the wheel from top to bottom to check for wheel bearing and front to back for control arm. This held true in my case. There should be no movement either way. If anyone can verify this please do.

There should be no play in the wheel. If you can rock it a tiny bit then chances are the bearing is bad and yes I did feel a difference. Before changing the bearing at 60 to 70mph I got a vibration. Had the tires balanced and it was still there. After the new bearing the vibration stopped.

Just wanted to post this now while it was still fresh in my mind. Replacing a rear wheel bearing is not that bad of a job. I read some post before I did mine that made me believe it may be a lot tougher than it really was. Mine is a 95 coupe. The day before I did the job I jacked it up and...

I have a 95 coupe. Has anyone had this problem, When making a hard left turn like from a stop sign turning left with quick acceleration I get a loud groaning sound from the passenger rear. I jacked the car and found the wheel bearing was bad so I replaced that hoping that was it but no change...
