I upgraded the end links to the anti-sway bars on my 98 coupe. If anyone would like the old ones just PM me and pay the shipping. The 3 original links are worn but useable. The fourth link is a metal one and only has about 1000 miles on it. Not sure what the, "If it fits it ships" price would be...

Ouch!

Mas If the MAS has never been cleaned since 2003 then it's definitely time to do it. Let us all know if it makes a difference. Bill

Do you have a K & N filter in your car? If so, sometimes the oil used on the filter will coat the sensor and create false readings buy the computer. When cleaning that kind of filter go easy on the oil applied just a very light coating will do. Bill

Gasoline or is it? You're right too many unaccounted variables. Bill

Suggestions Good suggestion from Fixvet. I would also add; 1. Take your digital camera and take plenty of pictures of the disassembly process so that you can refer to them later in case you get stuck. 2. Invest in "Speed Bleeders" which are self bleeding fittings for each caliper setup...

The other day I was in Target looking for "Clearance" items and I found bedsheets drastically marked down. So I bought two king size flat sheets. I had a choice of three colors and chose dark burgundy, (so they won't show the dirt too badly). My wife sewed them together for me to make one...
