In my experience, there's only a couple of things that can click back there, either the splines or one of the half-shaft u-joints.

As others have said, if the car is well maintained I see no reason to be concerned. A well maintained L98 can easily go for 200,000 miles. I think the price is too high though, I certainly wouldn't pay more than $6,500 for it. There are thousands of C4s on the market right now, so if he...

I should have bought the pre-painted GM kit. I can't find anyone in Honolulu to paint my console. When I go to the body shop, they tell me to go to an auto upholsterer. When I go to an upholsterer, they tell me to go to a body shop.:confused I don't want to do it myself, it'll look awful...

Yes, when the time comes I'll take pictures & document the changeover. I have to get the new pieces painted first!

I am going to be doing this very soon, instead of painting my stock console I bought used parts on ebay and will have a local shop paint them (I'll store my originals away somewhere). The GM kit is $400, I couldn't see spending that much for a little bit of plastic, so I got all the parts for...

You may want to clean off the front of the engine before you start this job, makes it so much more pleasant to work on. I just spray on some simple green, let it sit for awhile, then spray it off again. I agree about changing out the lower radiator hose, might as well as long as you're in...

I watched it, it was okay, didn't really go into too much detail. There were endless clips of the Z06 screeching around roads, which took up about half the show. Incredibly light on details about how the car is made. There was a 15 minute segment on the paint booth, which was way too long, I...

I would go even further: pull the radiator & clean out the fins with a regular old garden hose, just spray them good. While you're at it, clean out the fan shroud, there will probably be lots of junk in there. Also, with the radiator out, you can spray the a/c condenser fins as well. These...

Congratulations on your purchase. If it's going into storage, I would disconnect the battery.

Almost every 1990 I heard about had the "service airbag soon" light illuminated. This is a very common problem on the 1990 model. Most of the time the impact sensors on the frame rails need to be re-grounded. Some owners just removed the bulb that illuminated the problem. If this warning...

When you say "jack handle" do you mean the emergency lug nut wrench? Like heartbeat says, it goes behind the driver's seat, just move the seat all the way forward and you'll see the two mounting bolts for the seat, the wing nuts attach to those bolts. As far as the jack itself, it goes...

The cardone should be just fine. I don't know why anyone would want metal, it's heavier and won't last any longer; the diaphragm is what wears out on the booster, not the housing. But like everyone says it's a PITA to install, you have to remove the drivers's seat and get waaaaaaaaaaaaay up...

Wow, that is beautiful.

I have changed rear shocks before, the top mount is just the bolt, you don't have to worry about the nut.

Yeah, I can't wait to see pics.

You can safely use the factory jacking points, clearly marked on the frame rails, to jack the car. I have had 4 c4s and have used the jacking points for years and years WITHOUT opening the hood, doors, etc. It won't crack the windshield, it won't distort the body panels or ruin the frame...

There will never be a mid-engine Corvette. This issue has repeatedly come up for years and years and GM always ultimately dismisses the idea and goes with a front engine design. It's just not gonna happen, no way, no how.

I once bought a used c4 that had straight pipes on it. It sounded like a UPS truck and made all the neighbors mad. So I put on regular mufflers. People will hear you coming a mile away.
