Lol.. yeah, this whole setup was trashed.. I have all new parts to rebuild, just waiting on the crank and spring cable. What a mess. Good eye lol

Finally.. took the grinder to it one more time, as well as a 3lb hammer.. problem solved. the first 2 images below show the wear pattern..lol, I'm not sure the paint was even necessary. You can see how deep it was cutting, not just the lip [from 4-8 o'clock] but 2mm deep in the proud surface...

Yeah, I have abandoned my initial theory.. though I think it would apply in some situations. The 10K mile wear down period mentioned is not an option for me, as I don't do enough driving.. I would be dealing with it for over a year. I have painted the lip to see where the contact is happening...

Do you recall about how long it lasted? Granted, I haven't driven too much due to the work I have been doing.. but it is definitely getting on my nerves. Thx

Sorry if this was mentioned.. I didn't see if it was. Does anyone know the bolt size/pitch for the link at lower control arm? My new links didn't come with any, and the original is quite stuck and rounded. I see the part number and can get it online, I'm just hoping to get 2 new ones/similar at...

yep.. thats the rim I was filing and grinding smooth. Such a tight tolerance, definitely annoying when the circumference has flaky rust.

Thanks for the tip, i'll keep that in mind. Though I have since ordered from cruiserparts.. we shall see.

Outstanding! Thanks very much.. they have exactly what I need. Life saver

Hi All, My parking brakes are rusted and busted.. I have the spring/pin/clip etc rebuild kit, but I am still in need of the following: Parking brake shoe lever Parking brake cable No. 2 Bellcrank Bellcrank bracket I can't find part numbers, and my usual sources only seem to offer shoes. I do...

Just a theory.. After reading many posts with regard to the mysterious grinding following new rear brake/rotor install, and trying to figure out the source of mine.. I may have a solution for those still scratching their heads. There are so many variables involved that it's hard to say what is...

Yep.. thanks for your help thus far.. the required socket is 32mm [though I have a 1-3/16" that works as well]

Not sure if it was divine intervention, or some overnight settling [perhaps rear passenger spring wasn't fully seated as I thought] but today I measure the following: Front left and right are 20", Rear left 22.5" right 22.75". All measurements taken from wheel center to fender lip. I will...

Outstanding.. this will be very helpful, much appreciated. I'll update my findings and results tomorrow.

Yeah, I keep seeing that too.. and that is the case with some models they have [some are even 2-3" higher than the other] these however are both identical and marked the same.. if they have different compression qualities, that was never outlined. I will double check, but they do seem to be...

Hello All, I am new to the LC realm.. owned a very neglected 2000 for 2 weeks now. Began correcting it's pain, and fell in love.. sold my two other vehicles and forgot about my muscle car project immediately. Anyhow.. my current issue is stance, or level rather. I have searched and read many...
