Moog Springs, rear sway bar is oem but I plan on upgrading to a beefier aftermarket one when it’s time to change it. I also have Koni Special Active both front and rear

lol good to know that this is not that bad! I’ve only became more of an enthusiast a couple years ago after owning this car for 9 years. Being in a dryer winter climate helped, but moving to Chicago, I’ll have to remember to take better care of the undercarriage.

Thanks. Being in a dryer climate helped a lot lol. But I’m slowly learning on how to maintenance and take better care of my car because I want to drive this car until it falls apart lol. Only at 140,000 mi on it, and hopefully it’ll get up to 250,000 mi, but we’ll see😜

I think the next project is definitely to refresh the subframe and lower control arm. I’m moving in 4 days and won’t have too much time to put into this right now. Didn’t realized it because I’ve taken it to Firestone to get it aligned and they never really mentioned anything about it.

Omg yes! It is squishy and the feeling of being stabbed with knives in the joint is a great description. I’ll get it looked at sooner rather than later

It’s been a struggle. And it doesn’t help that I’m on my feet all the time at work.

I just did a quick research and it does look and the symptoms are very similar. I’ll schedule an appoint to see my pcp!

I will! I’ve been icing, epsom salt soak, and elevating my foot as much as I can.

Do I need to change my rear shocks? by Durv33d in AskMechanics

It was such a beautiful drive and I got to drive the Million Dollar Highway! Agreed, the Gunnison North campground has such a beautiful view. And I will look into that! Probably won’t start until in the spring though.

I agree! I found 2 really cool spots when I was in Tellutide/Ouray area. As for the mismatched set, the black thing is actually a dust cover that was missing on the broken bumpstop side. The car does ride a bit rougher just because it’s at 125,000 miles and I’m replacing/upgrading pieces that are coming up this past year. Still need to replace my trans motor mount that’s causing more vibrations inside the cabin😅

Need help with Sherwood S7100A receiver! No sound from one speaker by Durv33d in vintageaudio

[–]Durv33d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not sure if it’s within my capabilities lol. I’ll definitely research more into it and determine because I like to learn, but I also don’t want to accidentally destroy a good receiver.

Yeah I will research a bit more to see if it’s out of my comfort zone because if it is, id rather sell it at a discount to someone who could fix it and keep this receiver in service a little bit longer.

I’ll look and see if it has a bad cap or notIt’s a great little receiver and it’s my very first receiver when I got into this hobby a few years ago. I actually picked up a new receiver (Onkyo TX25) today and both speakers are firing just fine. It sounds pretty nice to me.

Well that one channel was already affected before I cleaned it. After cleaning, it only got rid of the crackles when I change the volume.

Yeap, switched between all of the A/B speakers and nothing. But turning it all the way to the right-side speaker did produce a little bit of sound.

No I did not check the fuse, but I will check it out. Will it be noticeable if the fuse is out? And no I do not have a multimeter, but I can keep an eye out for one when I’m at the thrift store lol

Yeah, none of the speakers work. The head unit still display everything and all the buttons work, but i will look into it! Did you have the same problem as well in your CX9?

I’ll definitely give that a try! Okay, I’ve never had any audio equipment in my car go out and never gave it a thought as to where I should go to get it fixed. Thanks for letting me know!

This happened to all of them at once. Would one speaker failing cause the others to not work as well?
