sounds like your cv joints

dude that looks nice, so from viewing your site u got about 1.5 inch lift in front and about .75 lift in back? or did I look at that wrong? either way it looks sweet!
-
when I replaced mine (if I remember correctly (been alot of beers since then -alcohol- )) I didnt have to undo the panhard rod, actually Im pretty sure I didnt have to, and yeh its very simple, u just need a wrench or a ratchet, quick and easy job, if you do the fronts though dont make the mistake I did and assume the shocks come out from the bottom (logically they should go with gravity right? no) u gotta pull em from the top (once u get the bolts off of course
), oh yeh Im speaking from a 93 pathy perspective -
yeh 88 is right, mine were that way, i couldnt figure out how the heck to unplug them so I just cut the wire on the shock side of the coupling plug thing and replaced them with gas shocks. Hope that helps and good luck
-
man 88 that is the shiite! truly sweet :cool2:
-
go disc, especially easier to replace pads
-
yo hardware, looks awesome man, where did ya come across those rims?
-
hey search torsion bar lift on this site, I started it and there is lots of good'info from all these guys, cuz I was like you and didnt really understand the whole thing, good luck
-
hey killvox, how did ya do it, like what kinda paint, etc, they look great, does the paint flake off or anything?
-
darn I think your right, killvox, are those legos?
-
looks good man, I like it; speakin of black legos, has anybody tried to paint their legos black?
-
Hey MIke, good to have ya, lots of info 'round here
-
hey gardoni, what was the price for the calmini lift?
-
what the hell kinda jack was that? never seen it before, btw whats MQ or GQ or whatever the hell ya'll are talkin about
-
E bay, I saw a glove box on there like 2 days ago, some dude is partin out a pathy on there so u can probably get everything you need
-
HEY SNIPER, UCA AND JGC BEEN ANSWERED, anyway, what I did was to first see how much front lift you can get before doing anything, and check how close your bumpstops get, if u need more lift in the front you might have to reindex the torsion bars, not aproblem. You GOTTA get 93-97 JGC V8 front springs, anything else is, well I dont know but thats what u HAVE to get for the rear lift u want. Also those grinder things or whatever, I used a Dewalt reciprocating saw, hell u can use a hack saw if u got the time and patience, just something to cut the smaller diameter ring off the top, it doesnt have to be a grinder (I think thats what everyone else said), and the spring compressor things, dont need them either, although it will proabably make it alot easier ( depends on how good your jacks are. Good Luck
plus just search this site and youll find how to crank the t bars and how to reindex em if u need to
-
do a search, I asked all of these questions plus others you'll think of in the futeure, just go to the search button up top, the JGC's on a 4 door with spare tire carrier should get about 3 inches, then u get the front up 3 inches with your torsion bars, hope this helps, I got my jgc's for $40 at a junkyard, thats really all you need (maybe some new UCA's)

maybe it adds extra protection from "rock on the interstate cracked my headlight", I like it, anyway I got the dark forest green color (metallic), and I havent seen another one with that color around here, although, eveybody thinks its black
-
never done it, but Im with jj, should be pretty straight forward (ratchet and definitely a phillips for the flares); but ouch mines a 93 too and that hurts, I feel for ya, Iwouda been pissed, good luck bro
looks like youll propably need a new headlight bracket too, or a hammer and some patience
hey and on that side marker (did mine this weekend) theres a retaining screw on the bottom to watch for (took me a while to notice it cuz it wouldn't go on right)

youll find the place and part # in this thread
-
the 93 (if not other years) has a switch on the dash E-Auto (Ithink) that switches fronm normal to power mode (change gears at higher RPM)
Ialso have the sport/touring switch and I could never tell that it changed anything in either mode
-
hey snake, youll still have to crank your torsion bars the UCA's only adjust for proper ball joint angles and allow u to lift without hitting your bump stop (I only know this because I asked the same question about 2 weeks ago). also from my research here I think those are Automotive Customizer UCA's which are not preferred by most people here, apparently from a money standpoint Superlift UCA's are the way to go, do a search here for superlift UCA's and youll find the part number, hope this helps and good luck
-
the new one (brand new) is nothing like that, I can swing it with my pinky, but I wouldn't try to find a new one (it was about $550, fortunately insurance paid that), otherwise maybe some of these other guys have some suggestions, but like you (and I) said other than it bein a pain in the arss, its not that big a deal, till next time
