In Doylestown, PA, routes 611 North and 202 South share the same lanes. So as you're driving North on 611 you are also going South on 202. At lease according to the signs. The best part is, most...

I'd like to see a photo of it uninstalled. From the looks of this photo, I'd be a little concerned of where the loads are being placed on the strut tower. The factory design is for the load to be...

I'll side with the optimistic majority and say the vote will be NO. Something tells me otherwise though.
I've let my membership expire over this issue and refuse to renew until I'm confident that...

Well you haven't really explained what it is you intend to do with your car. Even if it's assumed that you plan to run in IT there are many compromises that can be made. I'd say that the best $20...

All of your points have been addressed. You really should read the thread before you jump in on page 15 with all the answers. To sum it up, the problem isn't with any of the available products, it's...

It's even on sale ~$60. While it's not the quality of the Schley set it works great. I've done over 20 wheel bearings with...

One thing that I did when I bought my Harbor Freight dollys was to take each caster apart and lube them up. It makes it so much easier to push the car around and has lasted 4 or 5 years now.

Mark,

The below photo clearly illustrates that on a stock A2 VW the top of the strut tower, at centerline, is level with the top of the fender flange. Same as the car that's for sale.

Now how...

Take a look at the images below. The first is of a non nodified (other than being cut out of the car) VW A2 strut tower. The second is a tower that has had material removed to facillitate...

This is interesting, the owners manual for my '95 K2500 Suburban, 454/4L80E/4.10 rear says to tow in (3). That being said, I've tried it and for my needs OD works fine. I'm only towing a 2300 lbs car...

I was never much of a poster (I've learned way more than I could contribute) but I do find myself not stopping here as much as I used to.
I wish as much effort was put into "fixing" the things that...

Paul,

Where do you guys find German bearings? I looked all over and wound up with SKF parts made in Italy. The local dealer didn't even have them in stock (guess these cars are considered old or...

More than likely Bill's talking about the old Audi 2L 4, I think it was a 3A, from the 80/90 series cars. This was the 2L motor of choice until the ABA's came along. There was a lot of discussion as...

I've never dealt with GC but I would have a hard time asking any company to warranty a coilover sleeve for a seized set screw. I look at something like that as a maintenance item. I would think that...

I'd bet that the MPG figures GM lists for the Trailblazer are not with that 4.10 rear that you'd need for towing.

A 1/2 ton 5.3L Suburban with the 3.42 rear is rated for 7500 lbs towing and gets...

7/8 - 18 is kind of an odd size. It's somtimes used in trans. plugs and truck oil drain plugs. Pegasus has one listed but it has a magnet. See link below. Locally you can check a Detroit Diesel...

Wow Paul. Jumping right in there are ya? I left Joe a message this morning, so maybe I'll pick up a second or two this year.

Now I have to find out what happened to my wife and who this is that...

Are you trying to double the value of my (your) car or something? That's very tempting. With a 4.32 I might actually use 5th gear on the hill. Let me see what I can scrape up. No promises but I'll be...

Hey Paul,

Slow night at work here.

I am no expert by any means but I think the big difference is with a TBD (like the Peloquin) if you put a wheel into the loose stuff or get it off the ground...

Hey Paul,

It's so nice to see you still have the Golf. I hope to be out before Pagoda this year but we'll see.

For the cheap and easy route you can always use a spectra climbing runner looped through the factory tow point.

Be careful with the Girling calipers. Both 10.1 and 11" use a caliper with 54 cast into the body. I assume it's the dia of the piston. They're different, the calipers for the 11" setup allow a wider...

As I understand it A2 cars came with 3 different size (diameter) 4 lug brake rotors, 9.4", 10.1" and 11".

All A2 Golf's and most A2 Jetta's had 9.4"
Late 2L 16v Jetta's had 10.1" same as the B3...

It's interesting that this is the only point that you chose to quote.

First I said easier and less costly. You can't escape the fact that replacing a lost, broken or missing washer bottle costs...
