Re: 97 850 a/c has no "hi" fan setting

I was replacing my blower motor when the same thing happened to me.......only missing high. Tested the resistor and it checked out. Checked the fuse and it was blown..... Wierd. Maybe the high setting has its own fuse... I was already in there so the resistor was easy to get at..... You might want ...

Re: 1996 850 na m/t cv joint

They are iPd hd ones. I guess it is possible that they have failed already. Is there another way to tell if they have failed even though the shock nut is tight without removing? I looked at the coil over kits when I was redoin the suspension.....sooo coooooool!!!! The price is what stopped meI. With ...

Re: 1996 850 na m/t cv joint

I hope not. I replaced them a few years ago. Along with new ipd lowering springs and Koni shocks. It really feels more in thelower part of the steering/suspension I did try to turn the tip of the shock and it is firm and doesn't spin. Does anyone else notice if their springs rotate a bit?

Re: 1996 850 na m/t cv joint

I was able to open the link for gkn and was a little off compared to their measurements. Theirs are inner boot holes 28/70. Outer boot holes 22/82. I'm going to tear this one out and see if I did get the correct parts. I'm still concerned about the shapes. I think the outer had a diff shape because ...
