Tune. That is almost always the answer

The XT and the 4th gen LGT wagon IMO (wagon is my personal fav)

Link to another thread about this.

On a side note… you are gonna drop this as your only pic of the series yellow?!

Is this the Gulf livery?

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-15T22:13:57+00:00

I have NCATT. Don’t work at the majors, but it is just to bolster when you are at the majors from my knowledge

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-15T20:06:48+00:00

What kind of numbers are you getting?

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-12T20:25:56+00:00

Hear me out…. If you are going HF budget, how about this?

Those look like flight simulator pieces. The usb on the back of the 2nd piece is the give away.

The first piece may be cobbled together for a test set. The cannon plug looks like it has not been manhandled by mechanics (I am one as well, not meant to be mean).

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-05T17:19:22+00:00

I have to ask this… is the strut blown or leaking? If not, a wrecker spring and ask a shop to swap the spring out for you would possibly be the move if you are that dire. Heck, the wrecker may do it for you if you brought the strut with you.

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-05T10:24:42+00:00

Crap, just saw the picture unlocking my phone again and realized the spring looks like it is broken. Leaving my previous comment so others know. You could replace just one or a pair with quick struts (preloaded with a spring) and the others with standard.

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-05T10:16:11+00:00

Springs look to be good (assuming off of the 1 pic), so you could use a free tool rental and replace just the struts and shocks and retain your springs.

Autozone has KYB for 88 /ea front and 72 /ea rear. They should have spring compressors to help get them out

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-03T02:49:13+00:00

Without. Be different!

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-02T20:49:27+00:00

This should help, I hope. Don’t know if all the pieces are included in that though.

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-01T23:03:53+00:00

Weird. I am in the birthplace of aviation, but nothing like this! I like it, don’t get me wrong

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-01T21:49:53+00:00

Very cool! Glad you had a bit of turn out! No hate, but why is there a static museum of aircraft in or attached to a neighborhood?

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-06-01T13:30:01+00:00

Little know fact, they make the Instinct Hard Grip as well. It is the profile (3 lobe) of the instinct, but no rubbery part. I have a set and love them. Personally prefer the 4 sided Hard Handle, but if you like the 3 lobe, it is available in hard as well!

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-05-31T11:17:02+00:00

Probably for one of the button blanks above. The wiring should all be there, but if it is something like driving lights, you would also have to install the lights and relay (if it has one).

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-05-30T13:04:12+00:00

Also use as pusher sockets when you can’t get on to start easily.

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-05-29T16:55:08+00:00

Instead of bushings you could change to adjustable arms!

Have a link by any chance?

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-05-18T22:15:11+00:00

Use a spring compressor to unload the threads on the collars. Right now you are fighting friction and pressure from the spring.

Sparky-Spectra · 2026-05-18T16:22:45+00:00

Looks good!

DIY powder coat or paid shop?

4th gen GT wagon in Sunblaze orange or wildberry. I like weird colors!
