Thanks for the reply. I heard the click when I had it jacked up and rotated the tire the little bit I could while it was in park. I'm assuming it's the same noise as when I'm driving. I checked the tire for signs of rubbing and didn't see any. Looks like I'll be swapping out a CV for my first time. ...

Very bad noises/movements after curb check. Please help!

Ok, so I was turning left and some geriatric driver (yes I saw the handicapped sign) cut me off to where it was their van or the curb. So I hit a ~10" curb with the passenger front tire hard enough to pull the back around and cause the rear passenger tire to hit hard enough to leave a nice scratch o...

So I talked to the shop, and they said the reasons they couldn't do the alignment are: need new Vertical Control Arm Bushings, new Ball joints, and new left tie-rod. I looked at the tie-rod and it was pretty rusty looking, so I can buy that. I'll go out and check the ball joints soon. According to t...

Looks like I'll just have to wait and see what they have to say come Tuesday. As for the history of the suspension (since I've had it): Replaced both rear strut assemblies with Monroe quick struts, added a rear anti-roll bar from an '01 with energy suspension end links, replaced front struts but kep...

Right on guys, thanks for the advice. I'll wait until Tuesday to see what they have to say, but in the mean time I'm going to start researching how to DIY alignment. I believe I heard/read that as long as you take your time, make accurate measurements, and have a good assistant, it's more time consu...

Shop says can't do alignment, wtf?

Ok, so I scratched up enough cash to get a 4-wheel alignment done at the local shop. Doing this because I replaced the front struts and both rear strut assemblies. Anyway, I drop it off yesterday morning aand get a call a few hours later (I was asleep, 3rd shifter). Voicemail said they had to talk t...

Damn, the ASP 2GN Neon Turbo Kit looks like the way to go! It's a few hundred more than the hahn, but with the extras, like the piggy back system to kill the limiters, $3699.99 is a decent deal =] Now (and yes, here come more questions from my ignorance of turbos), does this kit come with everything...

Thanks a lot =] I'm not looking to do this until next year (unless I win the lottery or something, lol) so I still have time to research. I'll def check out your other thread though. I wanna know what I'm getting myself into before I start making provisions for the upgrade. I was thinking that the t...

I want to do this to my lil sxt also. I've been looking around for a good write up on turboing a 2.0 but can't seem to find a good one. I was looking at the Hahn stage 2 here . Besides what is included in this kit, is there anything else I'd need. I have an ATX (for now) so I'm not worried about the...

Well, I don't have a 22mm wrench to undo the tie-rod ends to make the adjustment. I measured my tread depth and there doesn't appear to be any excessive wear as of yet, so I'm just going to hold off until I have the flow to get the full alignment.

Tie-rod/toe angle question.

I replaced my front struts and have since been unable to afford a proper 4-wheel alignment. So I figure until I do, I can at least get the front toe angle right via the tie-rods. I know it's off pretty bad because as I'm driving straight, my steering wheel is tilted clockwise a few degrees. I've fou...

I'm not really going for performance, just better than what I have. Which right now is no rear sway bar. I just got back from a junkyard and I picked one up off a 2nd gen neon (2001?) for $20. Any suggestions for affordable, better-than-stock links?

Thanks for the info guys. I have tabs in the rear now since I replaced my rear strut assemblies. What I want to know is what kind of difference I could expect to feel before I shell out the time and money to put one in. You'll have to forgive me, I know it's probably a dumb question. I'm just pretty...

Stabilizer Bar Questions...

I noticed that my 2004 SXT doesn't have a rear sway/stabilizer/anti-roll bar. Is this something I should invest in? And if so, what kind of a difference will I feel? Is the SRT-4 front sway bar better than the SXT? Is there anything I can do to improve my existing front sway bar (links, bushings, ki...

I found it. According to the diagrams in my Haynes manual, the only things directly wired to the ASD besides the fuse are the PCM and the Alternator. The ASD interacts with everything else via the PCM. So I started at the Alternator and traced the wires up to the PCM and I found where the short was....

Fuse 21 (ASD/FP) Keeps blowing. Please help.

What would cause fuse #21 (ASD Relay) in the PCM of my 04 Dodge Neon SXT to keep blowing? No OBDII codes, and no alarms from my ultragauge before it happens. Just blows while I'm driving (in any weather condition) and the car's dead until I put in a new fuse. The stock fuse is a 20amp, and it's blow...
