Tonight I am going to Justin's to work on the car so I will check the tie rods and the bearings but if they are all good I think that my suspension noise and my 'steering' issues are related to the control arms... I will jack the car up and sit under it while someone turns the wheel so I can see/hear what is binding and track it down but if I cant do it that way because there is no load on the suspension I will just end up replacing parts until it goes away... Also, does anyone make aftermarket control arms; anything with poly bushings so they last longer or something? I put about 30k a year on average on my car and I just cant be replacing control arms every 70kâ�?�¦. _________________________________________________ 2000 Grand Prix GTP (best 1/4 mile 13.87 @ 100) 1995 Contour SE (Faster than the GTP because it doesn't have a chipped piston)

I'd expect Bill to be about 20% less than posted prices - shipped. And sorry, no poly versions. It's the years as well as the miles that wear them, so these should last you a long time. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results

OP murky024 New CEG\'er M Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 14 State College, PA	Well I changed the TSS, tranny fluid (looked brand new), and oil... Also I checked the bearings and the tie rod ends and they all seem good... I think my problem is blown lower motor mounts as my engine rocks and moves a TON when it is put into gear... How hard are lower motor/tranny mounts to change on these cars? _________________________________________________ 2000 Grand Prix GTP (best 1/4 mile 13.87 @ 100) 1995 Contour SE (Faster than the GTP because it doesn't have a chipped piston)

Let's break out the window weld, shall we? -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results
