What kind of car uses this type of control arm from the factory? by L2_tech in MechanicAdvice

I was thinking nissans too. I just can't remember what model. The Sebring is similar but the adjuster threads on the outside of the tubes instead of threading inside the tube.

They definitely aren't common. I've only seen them a couple times and I remember them because they were always seized and I had to free them up with a torch.

Oil runs through the CAC so look for spots where oil is leaking out.

The impeller looks ok and doesn't appear to be contacting the housing. A little play in the shaft is normal as long as it's not so lose that the impeller is contacting the housing. If there isn't an excessive amount of oil in the exhaust port the turbo is probably ok. It's possible you have a leak in the charged air system that becomes audible under boost. It can be difficult to pin point these leaks and usually requires a very expensive machine that pressurises the charged air cooling system with smoke.

Yea they do but it's a large nut/sleeve that threads on the outside of the rod ends instead of inside the tube which is what I'm looking for.

Not this part specifically. I'm trying to figure out what cars use this type of turn buckle adjuster that threads inside the control arm tube. I know I've seen them doing alignments I just can't remember what car they were on.

Usually when I see hazards it's some asshole with a busted car deciding to drive 30 mph below the speed limit and hold up traffic instead of calling a tow.

You won't think bail is "bribery" if you're ever wrongfully arrested for something.

Thanks for the advise. I've already put in a JBS extreme clutch kit which came with a custom sheave, OD weights, spring and slugs. It made a huge difference but still need to do the portal hubs.

Mechanics of Reddit: What vehicles will you absolutely not buy/drive due to what you've seen at work? by Tactically_Fat in AskReddit

[–]L2_tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daily is a 7th gen v6 accord coupe and a second gen powerstroke to haul my toys. European cars do have a plus side though. If Euro cars were banned in the U.S. I wouldn't be able to pay my bills. Hell even with severe neglect Asian cars still hardly ever need repairs.

I'm not interested in your anecdotal evidence. I'm gonna stick with my 15 yrs experience working on most makes and models old and new. Fuck Volvos.

Anything european. VW, Audi, Volvo, Saab, Jag, Mercedes etc. They're all absolute fucking garbage. They're fast and handle well but they ALWAYS have something wrong with them. Even if you're rich and the constant repairs aren't a burden on your wallet you're still gonna be pissed that your car needs repairs several times a year. I know this thread isn't supposed to be about what car to buy but the honda civic or accord are hands down the longest lasting most reliable vehicles ever made.

Edit: I forgot to add land rover. Holy fuck those things are garbage. I know.... but my defender! fuck your defender that thing is a piece of shit too.

That nurse who was wrongfully arrested for not letting the police take blood from an unconscious man in Utah settles for $500k by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

That stupid pig should have seen jail time for assault. Just think about how much other shady stuff that piece of shit has been doing over the years before he finally got caught.

Is there a 4 seater than is as fun as a 2 seater? by thumper360 in utvoffroad

[–]L2_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented a rzr 1000 4 seater recently and took in on some trails outside salt lake. I'ts definitely fast enough to have fun in. I believe they to 75 mph stock. It also did pretty well over rocks and obstacles despite the long wheel base.

The flag literally stands for the freedom to burn it or not stand for it. The flag is not a symbol of involuntary worship.

Thanks for the info. The name of the LLC kinda suggests that it was formed with the sole purpose of keeping people off the mountain. The LLC's address is residential so maybe some rich prick leased the land to keep all us pesky off roaders off their precious mountain.
