      I highly recommend discos. You really need sway bars in emergency type maneuvers, not cruising the street. With Disconnects you'll still have them on the street. And how long does it really take to disconnect them?

      If you tow at all I would recommend disconnects or just leaving them on.

      Congrats! Let us know how it works out after the mods.

  4. Warn manual locking hubs vs. Stock auto lockers for the 2001 R50..? Any comments or suggestions? Are they worth spending the cash on them and having to get out to lock up the front?

      Im by no means an expert here, all my knowledge is coming from reading posts in the forum when I was making the same decision for my 95. From what I understand the 2001 has drive flanges instead of auto hubs, which act like locked hubs 100% of the time. By installing the manuals you wouldnt be spinning your cv's all the time which will give you a little less rolling resistance and maybe a tiny mpg gain. More importantly it will reduce wear on the cv's lengthening their life which i...

      All of the above plus extra gas mileage. I've never regretted putting them on my 96.

  5. So this afternoon I plan on changing out my front sway bar end links and sway bar frame bushings. I have been hearing some unpleasant sounds from the front (as well as the rear) rattling, clanking, metal 2 metal, popping... etc. Looks like the replacements are easy to DIY..? Any thoughts, comments or suggestions. Is this as straight forward as it seems to be? Is there anything I should be aware of before starting? Do I need to adjust the camber of the front wheels as part of this repair? Wil...

      you wont have to mess with the camber, i had to cut one of my links off because it was seized, use lots of pb blaster and should be good to go!

  7. Transmission is probably fine. I changed the TPS on mine and resolved this issue. Mine was also neglecting to shift and would bounce off the rev limmiter when taking off from a stand still (first gear). I changed the TPS, Mass Airflow Sensor and fully took apart the throttle body and cleaned it and cleaned the K&N air filter. This seemed to do it for me. I am now dealing with an ignioion coil issue. It helps if you can get the codes from the ECU.
  8. Im dealing with this problem currently.. I have changed the #1 coil and have ordered the #2.. Waiting till payday to order the remaining (4) #3-#6. I am hoping this will prevent the check engine light from returning due to P1320 code. Any thoughts, comments or advice would be much appreciated. -Thanks. CNAM.
