Re: Centralization of P38 steering problem

It will run straight regardless of the direction the steering wheel is pointing because, yes, extending the drag link will move the wheels to the right. After replacing the ball joints and tires on one of my vehicles, I just finished aligning it from top to bottom. That was extremely off-center, and ...

Re: Centralization of P38 steering problem

When you center the steering box, the car will settle at straight ahead unless your tracking is extremely off. To make sure the wheels are facing forward as well, you can center the steering box and adjust the drag link. When the steering box is in the center, it doesn't matter which way the wheel ...

It is important to align the pointer on the steering box when the wheels, and not the steering wheel, are facing straight ahead. You can change it using the drag link if that's not the case. You can turn the steering wheel by adjusting the drag link while the wheels are on the ground and the key is ...

Re: Reduced AC refrigerant levels

Having the ability to do something does not imply that you should. When chemical engineers say things like "do not mix other gasses with R12," I'll take their word for it because I'm not one.

Using the right components and equipment has always been important to me. No one appreciates a sloppy job ...

It's the 2.4-liter boxer engine. The front control arms were located. It seems like we are out of stock on the majority of the back parts.

Re: Galantes es in 2011.

Upon further investigation, it appears that the majority of the components are currently unavailable. Those diagrams are much better than what I could find on my own, so I appreciate the assistance.

Galantes es in 2011.

Using a forum these days is a huge hassle, I get it.

Im attempting to attend to my grandma's galant. With 350k miles on the odometer and no maintenance history, it's time for a complete front and rear end rebuild. For the back, I have found the lower control arms, but that's all. So that I can take ...
