  1. Sweet. I'm sure we all would be willing to sit through a how to for it. I have some good ?'S to ask. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  2. Ya I changed the oil in it with added additive and I do think it's broken. I just really want to know what I'm getting into before I dig myself a whole. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  3. All I can say or believe that the previous owner of my 96 messed with the lsd to tighten the clutches And now it whines,clanks,pops and makes all kind of noise. Try pulling a tight 360 and the tires churpe like baby bird and not in the good way. It's actually is binds so hard it sounds like it's going to break. If you do decide to open it up please video it. Many here would like to see it taken apart. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  4. Man must be nice. My wife flips anytime I spend money on my pathy. And the Texas flair is a good thing. Just waiting to do my front bumper when the heat lowers a little. It should be the best thing in DFW. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  5. I'm sure he has the electronic 4x4 switch and not the manual. So manual hubs would be bad. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  6. Welcome. We have another dfw owner. I live on west side by the airforce base. You? On your face lift pathy it's pretty new so there shouldn't be much as long as it is a born and raised TX car. If it's not strutt towers and the bottom of fenders would be a good place to start looking. They have a really good undercoating from the factory as I have a 96, first year for the new design and it's from Colorado, the only thing that was rusted out where the nerf bars.

  7. Mine fit with a little work but work great. I think the price alone is worth buying the energy suspension bushings. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  8. I think most of us have all done these rear bushing but just an idea for any one else out there who might need a crude way of extracting the old ones. After removing the rear arms most people tend to press out the center sleeve, I tend to burn them out with a small propane torch to get high off the smell and kill a little more of our ozone. Once the sleeve is out I go to a trusted ball joint fork and a BFH (big f@cking hamer). I start on the lip of the pressed fit bushing with the fork using it as a chisel. Then turn it over and repeat. After going to town on the old bushing it should just fall out. I would not recommend doing this if your going back to using the OEM press fit bushings as there will be a little scoring from the chisel work and would probably cause some binding when trying to PRESS the new ones. I went with poly bushings so there was no issue. For the next trick I will install the upper bushings with oem press fit ones with out a press. This should be fun!
  9. Gl-5 80w-90 I do have to say and repeat. Inspect the one your going to swap and make sure they have the right gear set. I to am looking for a new one for my 96 with the lsd with the 4.6? And it's a PITA.
  10. I've done the driver side lower and after 3 hours of wanting to commit suicide I hade it finally back under the car just to find out the axle had moved back 4 inches. It wasn't that hard to get it back into place, it just took me breaking 2 ratchet straps and saying a few Hail Marries. Now for Friday to get here to do the other side. Forcast says 100% of rain. Ya sounds like my life is on track! I'm going to try and take pictures to show yall how southern rednecks fix things. I wonder if McGiver was from down south. He could rig everything to explode.
  11. Replaced rear drivers side trailing arm bushings. What a PITA.
  12. Yes it should, and I did know one idiot who had an H. accord and thought it was a Jeep back in high school. For anyone who knows what these are. I had received my rear bushings oem style last week and mulled over the thought of how week they look and after many hours of killing brain cells thanks to many PBR'S I set out looking for poly bushings. Come to find out only ebay and 4x4parts have them AND 4x4parts didn't have enough. After measuring and searching I think I came across the right ones from aftermarketenerysyspensionparts.com, part # 9.9485 Flange Type Bushing $20.76 and it's 2 bushings to a set, that's $10.38 a bushing, sure as hell beats $25.00 a piece at the autoparts store. Lets hope they fit when I find the time to install them, Two jobs really kill the mood.
  13. WE NEED MORE FLEX! I'M GIVINHER ALL SHE GOT CAPTAIN!!!
  14. I love the color, and it's pretty sweet looking to. What color of plastidip did you use and and how well is it holding up?
