When you replace control arm, get oe. I went the cheap route and the bushings are toast after about 15-20x miles. The Haynes is very little help with this car. You will not have fun with the EVAP. Might as well change rear cam seals and all the hoses when you do that because you'll have half the eng...

I have a very highpitched whine coming out of my right front passanger side. It is wheelspeed dependant, getting louder with speed. The whine is louder after/during a rain, and what used to go away after driving for 5 minutes, takes 20 minutes to go away. I don't think it's my bearing. I changed tha...

I was clunking the other day on the right side. So, I tightened up my sway bar link nuts. Did the trick. As I had the time, I also tightened up on the left side. Those were on the loose side too, so it's good I checked. However, while tightening the left bottom sway bar link nut, I reached a point w...

I think this was the same car the Polish communist party used for limousines.

They diagnosed my problem right: emergency brake cable. I told them not to fix it because I felt the price was way too high. (I eventually did it myself, a very amateur mechanic, and it wasn't too hard) I pick the car up, pay my $70 evaluation fee, and 2 miles down the road hear a load clunk in the ...

Maybe someone is interested:
