So the Eibach kit on Modern is too stiff? What about just plain stiffer springs without any drop? I'm running on stock suspension and don't really care about ride quality, I just want to get rid of the roll without dropping my car. Any lower than now and the front will drag on every bump.

If it comes back you could try to reset your ECU, that should reset fuel trims and everything.

Most OBDII cars have it right above the drivers feet. I spent some money on a decent one made by Actron that can read/erase codes, show freeze frame data and came with a program for your PC to upgrade the reader and can tell you more specific information about the code.

Has to be the clutch. If the it's still revving but not going anywhere, you need to replace the clutch and surface the flywheel.

If you're not running a catalytic converter, this moves the downstream O2 sensor out of the exhaust stream so that it reads less exhaust/emissions so that the car won't throw a check engine light.

Also loose bushings in the rack. I guess you just grab the tie rod close to the rack and yank in all directions, all around, in out, any movement at all without any resistance is bad, in/out the other wheel should move as well. That's all I know about how to check a rack and I'm not sure of that eit...

Actually it's probably easier to use an old lugnut to "press" the new stud in with some washers behind the nut. Impact makes everything easier. If he doesn't have air tools, he needs to use the wheel to press it in the rest of the way after tapping it partially with a hammer. But then he runs the r...

If you haven't already, put the wiring back in! If it was an alarm you need to trace every wire for it and take it out, or put it back in. It probably had an immobility feature.

If it varies with speed it has to be the wheel bearing, speed doesn't affect anything else in the rear like that.
