I don't have the same motor that you have but, I was able to get the two top bolts from up above.

Look at the tool list in the service manual. The tool recommended to remove the bushing is a slide hammer. No complete toolbox should be without one. To press the new bushing in something can be fashioned out of a piece of hardwood with a little bit of imagination. The clutch alignment tool should b...

Are you going to do the job yourself? Are you working alone? Do you have a transmission jack? If yes to all of the above, do you have experience? A service manual?

It would all depend on how many miles on the vehicle and, how long you plan to keep it. The surface of the flywheel where the clutch disc rides should be looked at. The smooth glaze should be roughed up with some fine grit emory cloth in a circular (wax on, wax off) rubbing pattern. Do that before c...

If your observations are correct and it's only making noise when the vehicle is moving, with your foot on the clutch and, the shifter in gear then I would look at the splined shaft that engages the clutch disc and especially the bushing where it rides in the flywheel flange. Likely the bushing is ba...

I would think that a bad throwout bearing would make noise whenever the clutch is depress both in gear or in neutral. The loading on the bearing would be the same either way.

Is all of your fan shroud intact? There is a removable section on the bottom which sometime disappears allowing considerable airflow to bypass the radiator.

I bought a set of drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads on Ebay about 3 years ago. Hart Platinums, about 110.00. There are cheaper ones but, I wanted the zinc plating. I live in the mountains of Costa Rica and brakes get a real workout. I couldn't be happier. The claims are true about no dirty...

THAT didn't even sound like a serious question so, I'll ignore it. BUTT, you, on the other hand, sound really cool Daddy-0. SO,, If you turn up the volume on your radio you might not even notice that metal to metal "clunk" sound as you get air over a bump. If you DO notice it then you are ...

Personal experience; If you try to get too much lift from your springs but, stay with the stock shocks you will damage the shocks. Instead of bottoming out you will experience "topping out". The internals of the shock will slam up against the shaft seal and you will lose all of the oil and...

Why did you only change the upper trailing arms? Usually all 4 are changed. That could be your problem. When you change just one set then any movement is focused into the bushings of the other set. A similar scenario was posted here a couple of years ago.

Look on Ebay. Direct fit 120.00 and up. Both sides for less than 250.00.
Direct fit with a 5 year warrantee. Magnaflow makes a nice stainless bodied unit if you're going to keep the car.

No bearing? There has to be something in there, maybe a well lubricated precision bushing? When the hubs are disengaged and the transfer case is in "N" then the spline part of the hubs are not turning while the outer part of the hubs are turning at wheel speed. There has to be a bearing to...

I bought some of the cheapies too, they didn't last a year. The bearings got noisy when freewheeling. Now I have a set of Warns.

Yes, I had the 2" lift kit from 4x4 parts in Pompano. I was running the 31 tires before and after the lift. I got rid of that lift kit on the front because it was nothing more than stiffer springs. I went with the nylon spacers for the upper mount from 4x4 design out of Canada. Basically I was ...
