    new car

    yah changing lains into rutts is bad almost flipped my minivan proly 35-40mph no 360 just 180 to the right, 180 to the left, 180 to the right..then i lost count.. only two narrow lains and power poles running down both sides (i was hoping it would just tip so i didnt hit one of the poles or suport lines)but i guess the weight of about $12000 in tools kept it upright. got it off the street and just about pissed myself, the guy i was fallowing said from his rear vew he thaught it should have flipped (one of those no maintinance vehicles...no suspension/brakes/working doors and no willingness to die took 3 years of serious abuse and neglect b4 i gave up trying to murder it...mostly just tired of jumping in and out the winder)

  15. and a dakota bed (already sourced the rear axle and brake line, traded a d35) and a hole bunch more junk cars/trucks
  16. try having the ss ones made up here there is a place called AK Rubber the ones i got for the front of me eagle were cheaper than the stock replacements and more than a foot longer with the fittings i wanted, made while i waited. price of ss proly went up in 4 years though
  17. go with the 3cil geo you can buy them running for dirt cheap dirtier than any vw or ford then you don't have to feel bad when you kill it just get another one the homely toyota echo of '00-'03 or so get 45mpg in town and can be purchased for under $8000 '02 model year had a reliability rating better than any car of any type and don't be fooled the 1.5l i4 has more than enuf power to get you going and plenty to get me ticketed
  18. seems like its perty simple...should i expect any difficulties?
  19. so the seal is in the tube or on the shaft? also... what will my local parts store call this part? p.s. thnx for all the help
  20. ok so a little confusion...when i removed the passenger axle shaft i got the piece from the disco to the hub nut how could i f up anything in the pumpkin? the driver side axle shaft was removed from the pumpkin,but the driver side no leak. if the seal on the pass. side is bad would the disco actuator housing fill with the leaking fluid?if so how much fluid is to much fluid to be just the disco? should the pass. side shaft have some seal that mine didnt?
  21. am i to understand i can swap a crank shaft from a 4.2 into my 4.0 and have a 4.5? what else is involved, what kinds of side effects would this have, and how much hp/tourque could one expect btw... amc eagles are equiped w\the 4.2
  22. to much front end damage to the "frame" t-bone at 50mph but id still find it hard to endorse a chevy motor over the 4.0
  23. after changing ball joints i have a leak of diff. fluid coming from the passenger side axle tube. seems to drip slowly till it hits a given level then stops. is there a seal that should be that isnt 1990 CAD axle, still fully functional
