I like your thinking! I'll try it, take photos and post it.

I think I know where Al's is......it's actually not too far away from me.
I found one on google maps right near the airport exit in Milwaukee called Roz Auto Salvage....anyone reviews?

Right by the driver side rear wheel, front side of the metal frame part that the pipe goes over. I'll try to get a picture up soon if that doesn't help explain it.

Got my exhaust pipe replaced a few months back and I thought something was up when I heard a rattle coming from the back. To make a long story short, the tons of snow and my laziness resulted in me waiting too long to check out exactly what it was, and when I did the place that did it (Car-X :cussin...

Looking for a good/friendly local salvage yard near the West Allis area (near Miller Park). I usually go to Jantz in Kenosha, but my trips down there have been less and less thanks to gas prices.

Need 1 15" (5x100) steel wheel, near Kenosha or Milwaukee. Not looking to pay too much, pick only...don't want to pay for shipping. Post or PM if you have one.
Thanks!

Milwaukee here....right near Miller Park. Go Brewers!

Which camp? I was at Camp Virginia from Nov '05 - Nov '06.

Need to replace the driver side A-Pillar, pulled it off too many times and the spade clip chewed up the plastic. Please post P/N for both sides in case someone needs it in the future. Thanks!

Just found a thread about Mevotech:

A lot of the "discount" on-line auto part stores have replacement control arms for around $100 each. Here is a place that has Mevotech replacement ones: http://www2.partstrain.com/store/index.php?Ntt=Control%20Arm&N=1607+10025+4294967264 Not sure about the quality, but they say "high quality factory...

Any way you go that includes larger than stock bars will be noticably better (especially with new bushings). Most people like whatever set-up they have. I am happy with my stock front and R/T rear, but I have no other comparrison besides my old stock set-up which was the 20mm front and none in the r...

No sink should be without a FIFI!!!!

I think I have the R/T (19mm) one in the rear, but I can't remember. It might be 17mm. Either way, I like it. Just need to get to work on replacing all of my bushings, they are shot, except the rear sway bar ones which were urethane to begin with. Since you're car has a few years under its belt I'd ...

I believe this is these are the standard sizes for non R/T or SRTs:
Front = 20mm
Rear = 14mm (if equiped)

Just wondering what size endlinks everyone is using on their lowered cars. I have Sprint lowering springs (1-3/4" drop) on. I was looking at using a 2-5/8" endlink for the rear (stock size is 3-9/16"), and the same stock size for the front. Sound good? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Any tips on where I should try to spray some PB Blaster without damaging the drum or the brake components inside?

I found a dealer who worked with me on getting EXACTLY what I needed. You can search their site by the part numbers posted in this thread too. Here is a link to most of the bushings for 00-05 Neons: http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/products.asp?cat=7889 If you need a pirce that you can't find on...

I ended up using 2 pairs of needle nose pliers to pull the "prongs" on the pad back and slid it on with teh caliper resting on my knee. First attempt (pass. side) got a couple small scratches, touched them up w/ some paitn. Second attempt (driver side) got on perfect with no scratches!

My CA bushings look just like yours, SHOT! I'd say change the bushings, not the whole control arm. Unless the CA itself is broken, then buy a new CA AND the bushings. If you replace teh CA with the same "squishy" POS bushings you'l probably have the same problem in a few years. GO with the urethane ...

Falken!
I've had my Azenis for a couple of years now, so I would actually suggest those. Just make sure you get them off before it snows (if it does snow in your area), otherwise you will go nowhere.

I checked it out briefly, and I can't find the reverse light switch, or I just don't know what I'm looking for. Either way, anyone able to post a picture or explain where its located? Is there a possiblity of breaking teh switch when removing it? Thanks!

You shouldn't need a new thermostat if your operating temp. has been good. But I would suggest replacing the O-Ring for sure, they're less than $1 at pretty much any hardware store (TrueValue, Ace, etc). Its not all that hard, the only issue I had was getting some coolant on the floor, which was an ...

I just painted my calipers and am also replacing the rotors/pads. I have one question though - Is there any way to get teh outter pads onto the calipers without scratching the paint on the caliper?

I'm in the process of doing my front brakes right now. Luckily I planned on replacing the rotors along with the pads instead of just turning the rotors because they were stuck the F%@$ on! I soaked every opening (lug holes, back of the rotor "hole", etc) with PB Blast and beat it with a hammer and p...

Anyone ever had a problem removing teh rear drums? I've had them off before, about 3 or 4 years ago, but now they won't come off. At first they were hard to turn by hand, but with the wheel put back on I turned them a bit then they loosened up, but I still can't pull either drum off. I'm guessing it...

Once you replaced the hose and reset the CEL did you ever take your car for emission testing? If so, did it pass or did you have to have someone with a "machine" reset the ECU so there was no history of you resetting it/the time lapse in it? Hope that made sense....
