probably not a good idea. i already am banned from slinky long travel kits, don’t need any extra grief. just like if a medical doctor and someone on webMD were arguing, it’s usually obvious who is a professional. folks, this thread is very quickly become stupid. i dished out some s***...

i believe you’re looking at “o2 correction” which is usually displayed as a percentage. if you have a voltmeter you can check the o2 at the firewall diagnostic connector. the reason i suggest that the misfire is a problem is because the rear o2 has no effect on how the engine runs, it’s only...

for that code to set, the o2 voltage has to be below .1v for 30 seconds iirc. a good o2 cycles between .1 and .9 at a rate of 60hz at 2000rpm. a rear o2 should have the same cycling pattern as the front when engine cold and cats not warmed up. low rear o2 voltage can be caused by exhaust leaks...

do me a favor and go back and read what i wrote. each time i responded to some condescending jab, but nobody else is in the wrong? get called a dick because i returned the condescending remarks? now you too? can nobody here handle a little s*** talking and all busting? baldilocks was the first...

yep. stock parts go on stock cars. don’t you dare think of messing with 90s toyota engineering. it’s so perfect, the whole engineering staff retired the day the last 80 rolled off the line. it’s so perfect, i bought a lifted 80 off craigslist just to put it back to stock height. rumor has...

first off, dont care. people were condescending to me and i returned the sentiment. secondly, some will always have an issue with their ideas being challenged. it’s a control arm bushing debate and discussion shouldn’t be limited to stock control arms. i brought up a lot of valid tech...

i’ve actually been in an accident already with the linked setup. twisted my sector shaft but the links were fine. progressive insurance acknowledged the modified suspension and didn’t give a s***. they are concerned with frame stiffening/frame mods more than suspension. is this not the thread...

i was born and spent a 2 years of my career in ohio and got my degree in automotive sciences in dayton ohio. i worked maintenance for a commercial landscaping company that plowed snow in the winter. i once replaced a fuel pump assembly because the sending unit rusted out. again, mechanic, been...

i bought a generic obd2 dongle for 20$ on amazon, and it works with my 95 so it will work with yours. don’t remember the brand. i also own a launch c123, autel maxisys pro, and a couple others. the 20$ dongle will do everything you need.

that’s why i kept saying that if it was such a good design it wouldn’t be so sensitive to the type of rubber used. in my opinion, until you set these up with a bushing that can freely pivot unlike cast rubber bushings, youll be throwing money away that could pay for a pile of ruffstuff brackets...

get a bluetooth obd2 connector and an app called ‘torque’ that reads live data. you need to see what the ecu is seeing or you’re just guessing. the change is too subtle for the human ear to pick up, but the o2 sensor is fine enough to pickup any fuel getting sucked in thru a vac leak, you’d...

do you have access to a scan tool with live data? you can check for vacuum leaks by spraying with parts cleaner around the intake and watching short term fuel trim % for changes.

ok, good analogy: you’d have to keep shooting yourself in the foot every 3-5 years. i’d rather poke my eye out, i’d perform a lot better on a trail and get farther in life with two good legs 😂😂😂 been daily driving a linked 80 for close to 3 years now, +10k miles a year. the johnny joints are...

read what? you haven’t contributed to the thread with anything other than sarcasm. we already have a nukegoat, we don’t need a great value version.

ok while most of the people in this thread speak from the experience of owning, i speak from a decade of experience as a mechanic, 8 of which at a seattle japanese only shop. i can guarantee you, if it went to a dealer for part of its life, it got the bushings done. older dealer techs can tell...
