I don't believe your problems are related. The "noise and feel" when you cut the wheel hard is the wheel stops needing to be greased. If you look under the car on the front of the control arm you will see a small nylon pad that's rivited onto the arm. On the steering knuckle you will see an arm ...

Front wheel bind?

Hello All,

I am having a strange problem with my 1995 850 wagon. As I was backing out of a parking spot with the wheel turned hard right I felt a thump thump thump. I pulled forward and got out to see if I had a flat. No flat. Pulled out again and the thump was less pronounced. I had the window ...

Magnet

Thank you so much for sharing this.. This makes me feel better. My wife is pushing for me to get rid of it and I do not want to as I bought it new and it (I feel) is just a teenager. It is 11 years old but has been pampered and only has 84K on the ticker. My coworkers think it is new and want to ...

CMP

Looks like the CMP is dead. I removed it to see if it was reparable. I can't see how this sensor could go bad since it is basicaly just a magnet. Anyone have any idea if these go bad after time or did I just get lucky? After I check it again I plan to disect it to see it I can repair it. Anyone ever ...

AllDIY

I use alldatadiy and have found most everything I needed accept a diagram of the ECU pin out. Sean got that for me, Kudos to Sean. They have the text functions for the pins but no diagram. I have had it for sometime but I will have to look at VIDAS. I don't like the search in alldata it is worthless ...

Torx Screws

My experiance with getting the screws out was not fun. Be sure to get that torxs tool in all the way and don't be suprised if you really have to put the man on them to break them loose.
