I’ve got ahold lower torque rod that I’ve been looking at in the garage too long, calling on me to make a bushingfroa hockey puck.

I’ve found you can get ALL the toothpaste out with a press.

Wow, those are bad! This was the mount in my E39 after it was rear ended. Only damage the car sustained! Well, aside from the broken pedestal, but that was all an easy replacement.

I told it how frustrated I am with my Saab. I also tried to fix some aging wiring issues while troubleshooting the radiator fan.

I just seafoam's my 99 na per Mathews instructions and now I'm getting a p0327 code, which other posts here indicate to be a knock sensor wiring code. I reset the code and will see if it comes back on, but has anyone else had similar experiences?

Pull the connector and clean it out well iff the code comes back. I bet it doesn’t.
