Re: Oil Leak By Timing Belt 98 S70

This is confusing me. Maybe 2 years back I did the PCV system. I never did clean out the PTC nipple and the PCV connection under the spark plug cover never really seated properly so oil seeps out. BUT, I did the timing belt, water pump, tensioner everything in other words last summer. I had the cam ...

Re: What shocks?

UPDATE: Bilstein TC front struts on my 98 s70 T5 feel great no complaints. Some have claimed that after renovating the entire front end suspension and linkages that the handling feels "like new". I can concur with that! I also added a strut tower brace and I think the crispness and response has been ...

Re: New front suspension noise

UPDATE: drivers side endlink was the noise culprit. The bottom nut was loose so I re-torqued it and all is silent.

Re: IPD USA Promotion Code?

You missed the sale back in May. That is the best time to do a big shop as I did. I'm in the Vancouver region (port Moody) so I drive over the border to a mail outlet in blaine, wa so as to avoid all the duty charges. I don't know of other promotions during the year.

Re: New front suspension noise

Interesting. I posted similar symptoms in the suspension thread. I'll check on my endlinks too. I replaced them both BEFORE all the major strut replacement was done and never have my symptoms. Only after I removed and replaced all the other parts did a test drive reveal the sound. Thanks all.

Re: What shocks?

Gentlemen and women of this thread...thanks for the opinions on this matter. BTW, I installed an IPD strut tower brace for the hell of it cause I saved tons of cash doing my repairs on this car myself. Incidentally, i run these michelin exalto tires (205 55 r16) and, well, I think I need to change ...

Re: What shocks?

I replaced the front struts with the Bilstein TC units. I kept the the stock springs. It looks to me that there is a perceived ride height gain. I didn't measure before and after difference when I replaced the struts so my conclusions are observations. But, there does look like something is happenin ...
