:banghead: Although I have recently replaced every part associated with the cooling system on my '97 D1, including having the radiator rodded, I am still having overheating issues. To monitor my coolant temps (and other things), I recently bought a wifi OBD-2 connector and downloaded the...

I have a '97 D1 with ~175K miles that I bought brand new. Since it has now become my toy, I decided to overhaul the entire cooling system. As part of the process, I removed the radiator and found/researched a shop that could do any work needed on it. I had already decided, based upon this board...

What are some of the higher-quality ball joints for a '97 D1? Greasable is prefered.

Where can I get a radiator brass fill plug to replace the cheap plastic one? It should be a standard NPT plumbing fitting, but which one is it?

I have just replaced the front radius arm/axle rubber bushings on my '97 D1 with red poly bushings. However, I am having trouble lining up/centering the axle bracket bolt holes with the new bushings. In other words, I cannot get the new bolts back through the holes for reassembly. I have...
