I believe they do. It's not mine and I've never researched that. But, they do go through a lot of fluid!

Jerm

Pedal feel remained the same before and after the brake change. I used a mighty vac bleeder to ensure no air is in the system. The brakes do work just not as advertised and i can not seem to get the ABS to engage.

The reason I am leaning towards the master cylinder is the pedal feel and noise that ...

Jerm

Panhard bar since you've hit the other 4, also check the front suspension as well

Jerm

So no ideas then? Would anyone agree that it could be the master cylinder? Or brake booster?

Jerm

Ok, guys and gals I need a little help here please....

Just finished changing my brake pads, rotors, shoes, drums, drum springs and, bleed it all correctly as well. My problem is the brakes still feel like crap. I've read that R50's have a "soft pedal feel" but normally work rather well regardless ...

Jerm

Sweet thanks smj

Jerm

You got the right idea!

Ya I didn't get a manual when I bought it last year. Some swear by Amsoil, Royal Purple, Lucas, and etc (which are all great). However, before I splurge on the good fluids I'd like to know if anyone has had issues with them. Or just go to the Stealership and get OE....

I'm cautious bc I've heard ...

Ok so I know in my GTO to only use the GM fluid with friction modifiers already added in the diff.

What are y'alls recommendations for the R50 Pathy? Auto Trans, and diff.....

Media blasted and NDI'ed which found them to be corroded more than I like so buying new and will wait till those bushings go bad and then do poly. Thanks for the help!

Jerm

Still on the hunt......

Anyone know if the bushings for the upper and lower trailing arms are the same size? Also pan-hard bar?

New neighbors have a media blaster and work for a industrial powder coater in town so I may blast the OE arms down and let the NDI guys at work scan them to ensure there ...

Jerm

Buy a Haynes manual and wrenches save on repair bills....

The only really complicated thing you posted is the front struts as they can be quite dangerous to disassemble the entire assembly without the proper equipment. However, if you purchase a strut with the spring already installed it's no risk ...

Jerm

Probably have to take the arms out and have some poly bushings pressed in.

I just installed the poly bushings and it's not that big a deal to press them in with a decent sized bench vise and a bit of grease. The hardest part is removing the links. Best just to cut the bolts in two with a sawzall ...

Jerm

Bummer would be nice if someone did

Jerm

So I have the pivotal "Death wobble" anyone know of a replacement part supplier for the upper and lower arms that comes with poly bushings? I'm at over 174k miles so either way I'm replacing all the arm assemblies but I'd rather have poly......
