That is what you should do.

Before installation? Put the tabs in a vise and crank on it? Better than hammering them while in, I guess.

Check the straightness of your rotor... If that wobbles at ALL during rotation it will push the pads further open or move the caliper in a position you don't want it in. Thing's that can cause the rotor to wobble are bad wheel bearings or something a miss on the hub. It started to happen last year ...

Are you sure you have the right pads? Never heard of a problem like this. Can you give us the brand and number of these pads? I want to specify this is only the drivers side pad. Pads that it first started with, from napa, no idea but theyve been on for around 3 years, with acdelco reman calipers. ...

I've been thru 2 rotors, 2 reman calipers, and 3 sets of pads trying to fix this issue. The outer pad is loose and my car sounds like a trailer going over bumps. I've used that silicone gimmick to try to affix the pad better, no dice. My caliper pins are smooth and the caliper moves freely. There is...

There's a refurb on ebay for $160 if your so inclined. I don't know about the corsica, but the cavi is not an option.

It's your heater core, possibly clogged or air in the system, or maybe a clogged a/c drain line if you have a/c. I don't think I've ever had a GM tht didn't do this at one point or another in it's life. Be happy you don't have a dexcool car.

I had an 84 2M4 base with the duke and it was pretty quick. Suspension was really stiff. Bumpsteer was incredibly bad. I 360'd it on a freeway and stayed in my lane doing it, not on purpose I may add. It was a really big go kart. If I didn't accelerate into turns, the rear would get loose. It's prob...

Rim 1, 3rd pic. But...I just hate open wheels with drum brakes. You gotta paint them, then everyones like, "nice painted 1950's technology drum, fella" then you feel bad and have to do a neon disc conversion. Any you have to keep your wells spotless. I can't for the life of me clean my whe...

Here's an hour and a half of manifold gasket pornography.

How can I get the belt tensioner off of my 89 gt I can't get in there to loosen the bolt I've tried everything To get the belt off first, you need a tool that any auto parts store should lend you, its a flat bar with a square socket, to stick in the tensioner arm and pry the tensioner up to remove ...

Wait, is it in a yard somewhere? My decklid started a small flake, and I want Z seats. LOL

Truly sorry to hear that though.

NO WAY. Jesus.

Yep thats me. What happened to that black z26?

I just read your other thread, and the issues you are having, sorry to hear it. Lol, I can't sell them if they're on the car. Ive been trying to trade them with no luck. You could get some cheapo stock 5x100 VW wheels in the mean time. Those bastards are stealing all of our gtz and gtu wheels anyway...

Nah the flame and the wipers make it look ricey.


That looks pretty classy to me from that angle, without all the visible "accessories" and the shirtless guy again.


You should be able to get a great price for those wheels though.
