    Steering stabilizer fitting trouble

    The "stubby" socket came today. Worked perfectly and was a breeze. It definitely needed tightening down. You can see how it made enough room to fit in there between the tie rod

    Steering stabilizer fitting trouble

    Well, I managed to get her on backwards today. Didn't take too long and I was more able to easily get her in there when coming from the side than underneath. Only problem is that because of the tie rod I can't get a torque wrench in there to tighten her to 50 lbs. I can get the other end to...

    Steering stabilizer fitting trouble

    I actually tried that because it's just the grommet. It was too narrow a few days ago but maybe I could try it now? Wouldn't it bad being backwards though?

    Steering stabilizer fitting trouble

    I tried heating the area a bit then prying it out more and still no go today. It's just like a 1/4" too narrow as you go up. I ordered expando pliers they're unfortunately going to take a little while to arrive so the exciting conclusion will have to wait!

    Steering stabilizer fitting trouble

    It's OEM from rock auto. The space right now between is a 1 1/8 and the stabilizer end is 1 3/8. I'm gonna try prying it open a bit more with a fat strong flat head screw driver and crow bar higher up in there tomorrow and see if I can get that 1/4 "

    Steering stabilizer fitting trouble

    Well! I just wanted to quickly fit my stabilizer on today but it proved hard to fit in the spacer on the passenger side. I banged away, used pliers to try to open it a bit, used a jack to see if I could push it through but no go. I'm thinking the metal center is hold me up and it would be nice...

    Exhaust Pipe Vibration

    I installed it, as i drove it a bit after installing it I had to tighten the bolts down a couple of times because it would slip and slightly be angled. It hasn't moved which I have liked. I'm pretty sure i slipped it on all the way to the Y pipe of the exhaust. There's not a ton of play on...

    Exhaust Pipe Vibration

    Hey everyone! A month or two ago I installed the pypes high cat back exhaust. Definitely loving it except one thing. When I am at low speeds such as backing out of the driveway I believe the tail end is rattling on the frame. Not the biggest deal in the world as when I drive on the road it...
