  1. Have them unmounted from the wheels and placed on the opposite wheel. The both rotate the same direction, but the camber wear will now be on the outside and should even up after several thousand miles.
  2. Just dealt with this. Its the loose park brake shoes. I also had a high pitched squeal at the same time. I took the rotors off and had the drum part roughed up. I then cleaned everything and re-assembled. Adjusted the brake shoes, and found that i didn't need to adjust the hand lever at all. Squealing went away, and the loud bang was reduced down to a light click.
  3. Interesting.. I wonder what it would look like if it followed the contour of the boot lid edge.
  4. I just changed my serpentine belt on my 98 Boxster. I was surprised that NAPA had the belt in stock. PN NBH-25060832 $33.38 This is the belt for A/C equipped cars. The non-A/C cars will use PN NBH-25060760 $27.31 Not a hard job. But it does require 3 hands.
  5. The only thing you mentioned that concerns me is the leak at the rear of the engine. Might be the Intermediate shaft bearing leaking.
  6. I had the same problem with my 98. I just bought it 2 weeks ago, and I felt it nose over at about 4500 rpm. A few days later a CEL came on and the codes were evaporative in nature. The weather finally broke and it was nice enough to remove the engine cover to take a peek. i pulled out the air filter and it was completely plugged with the foam prefilter. It broke down from age and crumbled into a fine powder. I looked at the date code and it read 98m02. Looking at it.. I think it the factory air filter. I replaced it, and the car wouldn't run for crap... barely idled. I deduced that the ECU had adjusted itself to compensate. The new fresh air threw it way the hell off. I cleaned the Mass Airflow Sensor, disconnected the battery, waited 15 minutes, reconnected the battery, turned the key on and waited 30 seconds, then started the car. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! The sound out of the suck hole in the left quarter panel is worth the price of admission. Happy trails!!
  7. It depends on the lube used.. Dry graphite that is used in locksets maybe be what you need. Doesn't attract dust, and stays when you rub it in with your fingers. I have the "howling starter syndrome" also.. Just waiting for a day off to tackle it.
