3800 Piece of shit grand prix

[AlmightyBirdman]

Alright I'm hearing a weird noise coming from by the front wheels every time that I hit a bump that sounds like 2 pieces of metal clanking together, it's obviously suspension related, but does anyone have any ideas what this is?

your abs light coming on? i would check tie-rods, ball joints and your strut mounts. if your abs light is on i would double check your wheel bearings.

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

Nah ABS light isn't on, wheel bearings were replaced not too long ago.

Sway bar is probably cracked

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

ah yes didnt think of that. my stock one cracked at like 70K.

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

hmm maybe GTP Mike would be gracious enough to look at it later this week for me?:naughty:

I bet the sway bar broke. Mine broke last fall and it made the clanking sound whenever I would go over bumps....or turn....or stop.....or accelerate...

yes. i will be at work till 5, then i have class after that. but i get out of class at 9, i would be up for taking a peak after that.

 

[MuffHugger]

Seriously, what the fuck did I do to any of you?

 

[bikrboy128]

i'm just playing

hey mike, how's keith's progress? like i predicted?

 

[MuffHugger]

he was asking for torque specs, so I assume he's working on it.

 

[bikrboy128]

very nice. you at the shop now?
he really doesnt have much left. it's just cary being a jackass and not letting him work on it.

 

[MuffHugger]

Motor is going in tomorrow: hopefully. Tomorrow is also Tuesday and we all know what happens on Tuesdays.

FYI: my motor blew on a Tuesday and the following Tuesday the van's ball joint broke.

at this point. I'm expecting it.

 

[bikrboy128]

i guess there wont be any surprises then

 

[MuffHugger]

Keith just rotated the crank and guess what? RESISTANCE!!!!! Piston met the valve. I think they got it fixed though...

 

[bikrboy128]

what time was keith there till? good to see it's getting worked on. once it's done we will figure out your idle/cruise trims and get your gas mileage straight, then come next spring we can do some WOT tuning.
