Just wanted to provide an update.
I got a simple Dorman (part 526266 / 526-266) replacement from Rockauto.com and installed it yesterday. 185 ft/lbs is pretty serious on that inboard bolt! New part worked like a charm.
Problem is totally resolved now! Bumps, breaking, and steering are all...
I use the ProClip with the standard holder. I use this with all of my vehicles, and it works great.
With this one, I don't mind it obscuring the vacuum gauge.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I also utilized a 15 Degree Wedge extension plate from their accessories page in order to get a better...
Well well... what do you know? Finally, after all these years, the problem is found! I checked the driver's side as well, no noise over there. Time to hit up RockAuto.com.

Thanks @Nuked and @ShadowFox !!
Over 1000 miles, round-trip from KC to Chicago. With all four seats occupied! It was a snug ride, but the kids were the right size back then to have just enough room.
Don't worry about the age, @ShadowFox resurrected this thread on Sunday and I'm super glad that he did because it finally gave me a clue as to what I've been experiencing. I have time tonight after work to look into this and I'll respond tomorrow with what I find.
This looks like a very...
I've got a similar issue as well, and I've checked the suspension several times looking for something loose but never found anything. I've had this problem for years now and could never seem to figure it out - thought it was just a sloppy install of my lowering springs. I'll check it out again...
Stainless Power catted LTH from @beefcake
These were every bit the pain-in-the-ass that people say they are to install. I'm glad that they're in, but I never wanna do that again. :D
I had either a breached manifold gasket, or a cracked passenger exhaust manifold. Clearly heard air leak on...
The problem with this is that if there is any other actual problem that triggers a CEL, you'll not know about it because you assume that the existing CEL is just the rear O2 sensors complaining about the post-cat exhaust reading being out of parameter.
This specific thing needs to be addressed...
Oh wow, I didn't know that we could do that! Darn-it, wish I knew when these take place. I try to get in an HPDE out at Heartland Park every spring and fall.
Freaking thank you guys!
I love my hyper silver PP wheels, they really pop against my Magnetic paint, but don't love the staggered fitment and the goofy offset. I like road course track days and proper rotating. And I don't like spacers.
I wanted another set of wheels so that I could...
I replaced the rears with the same size Firehawks Indy 500s. I got 14.5k and one track day out of the Pirellis. No burnouts/line-lock, no doughnuts. Lots and lots of heavy acceleration and they broke free quite often. :) They had less than 2/32nds left. My front Pirellis still have 6/32, so...
Wanted to come back to this thread and offer my final opinions on this exhaust.
Went to a local track day and I got to hear a little bit from a video camera recording, though the sound was captured poorly and I was not impressed. So I made a rash decision to go back to the muffler shop and...
Ugh, this is super annoying. I've spent a lot of time adding album art and getting all the album's tags lined up and it was working perfectly on version 1.0. Now at 2.2, even after setting Gracenote off, still doesn't show anything... or it will show a generic photo from what I assume is the...
So far, I've had great success with this from Amazon for $6.99:
They've got a few color choices, and it works on both the front and rear USB. I've not upgraded the USB ports yet, as I don't have a Fisher Price phone... uh, I mean an Apple. :rolleyes:
Ah man, I really don't have any experience with the automatics to offer any worthwhile opinion. IIRC, I've read that combo (auto with 3.55) is a little notorious for extra drone compared to manuals with 3.73 rear ends. I may even have that backwards. :P Maybe some of the other guys could...
I just recently got these put on mine, keeping the stock resonator. Yes, there is quite a bit of drone when you're on the gas, accelerating in 6th on the highway. But once your cruising or off the throttle, it backs way off. If I were constantly driving up a grade, it would get old. But...
