I just replaced the LCA and can't figure out what it is. Yes I did a search but nothing found there helped. Any suggestions are appreciated...:???? 98 SVT Mostly stock..focus shift tower, fog light mod... kickin free-air stereo

I would just have your tires checked first. 1989 Toyota Corolla (Totaled, now father car) 1990 Isuzu Trooper (Sold for more than bought) 1998 Ford Contour SE (Totaled in moutains) 1990 Toyota Supra (Blown head gasket) 1998 Ford Contour SVT (So far so good ::knocks on wood::)

Gotta start with the simple (and cheap) stuff first. 1999 Ford Contour SVT #900/2760 (SOLD) 2005 Mazda 6s 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4

It would shake pretty hard on the freeway and get worse upon acceleration.
