    AC/Delco vs Aftermarket parts: worth the price?

    The best deal on wheel bearings for the C4 is from Pep boys. They used to be $99 each with a lifetime warranty. I hear that now they are getting something like $160 for them. The $99 ones were made by Chicago Rawhide, which is a good manufacturer. I am not sure about the $160 one. When it...

    Rear end torque

    I still maintain the most usual item that goes first because of wear are the rear tie rod ends. They also have grease fittings that get missed often. When they get worn and loose the toe in and out changes, especially when under torque.

Brake hoses, caliper piston seals as mentioned can cause this. One of the other things to check for caliper...

    AUTO TRANS. fluid & filter change? or fluid flush?

    A flush can stir up little particles that can cause any one of the delicate spool valves to stick. Then a shift problem results. Many newer vehicle have no change systems because of exactly that reason, things get stirred up and bingo, a problem, and this is under the assumption that filter/ATF...

    85 stereo

    Most problems with the cassette are caused by the belts breaking or stretching. The belts can be purchased for most electronic repair stores. Last time I did mine they wanted $15 for the two belts, yes that is high but still worth it to me. I would take the radio apart very carefully first to...
