  1. Hello everyone and Happy Easter,

    I'm in the process of replacing my center link, tie rods and the idler arm bushing. My question is.... I removed my old idler arm bushing and they are black with groves that match the inside of the idler arm and the new ones are the blue plastic ones will these work on what I have ? They seem wider

    Thanks,

    Dudley

  2. I replaced my clutch master back in Dec. of last year after a lot of fluid leak yikes... It was in the high teens outside what a pain ! I got the old one out pretty easily but putting that metal tube in the new one and then running it under the car and having it pop out and then getting brake fluid in my eye while bleeding it by myself.... Jumping out of airplanes was much easier.

  3. Today I just had it..... It was time to find my clunk when I turned the steering wheel. The steering guide arm that comes from the steering box and attaches to the rack and pinion which is held on by a nut is the problem. Is there a washer or something that goes in there to keep it from moving or should I just snug the bolt down ? I did a search and everything but this is covered.

    Thanks in advance

  4. Yesterday I decided to rebuild my heater box with my friend Jay Swift (redskinsjbs) the cool Opel guy on a 2002 forum

    before old man winter hits the DC area. I have taken the box out to oil the fan and flush the core with water several time before with just average results but this time I just said enough is enough I want heat this winter so I bought a new fan motor from Autoparts Warehouse for $ 117.95 and took the core to a local radiator shop to have it cleaned for $ 30.00 . Jay and I cleaned the box installed the new fan motor and installed the cleaned core. We followed the FAQ write up which is excellent and we also decided to replace the old wires from inside the box that power the fan motor. Well my fellow 02ers my heat now rivals that of new cars. I would say that oiling my old fan and just using water/vinegar to clean the core worked at about 30% at best . So the moral of my story is that if you want real heat and your about to rebuild your box the money you spend on these two parts will change your cold weather driving experiences for ever. Happy Motoring !!!!
