    Yes. The black wire connects to a disk about the diameter of a nicke or dime. press on the disk. It could move inward as much as an eighth of an inch.

    Roaring Noise Underneath

    89 RRC Shortly after installing a 2" OME lift I have noticed a roaring noise underneath the vehicle. Particularly between 75 mph and 50 mph. It occurs during decelleration and momentarily upon accelleration within the above mph range. Any ideas as to what my problem may be?

    Poly Bush Swap

    I finished the rear suspension bushing this weekend. The upper link bushings were definatlly the most difficult. I had to employ the services of a local shop to press out the old bushings. They charged $6.00 each. Pretty steep but alot quicker than attempting to cut them out with hack saw...

    Poly Bush Swap

    These bushings attach from the frame to the top of the rear differential near the self levelling unit mount. I have already changed the lower arm bushings and had a similar difficulty with the hardware. Thanks for the response.

    I didnt have any luck removing the armrests so I refinished the leather with the arm rests on the seats. The arm rests may release from inside the seats by removing the back of the seat, but I was unwilling to remove the back because of the way it was fastened at the top of the panel. One...

    Power seat motors

    The old motors operated, they were extremely weak. In fact they would hardly move with a person sitting in the seat. The process ended up being more simple than it seemed. I marked each motor as to its position in the cluster (bottom or top, front or rear). Then removed the front cover...
