  1. I have to change the outer tire rod in my 99c2 can i marked the the spot to returned to the position now any tricks or ideas. without messing the aligment or as close as possible.

    First off - it's a "tie" rod. Second, you can get pretty close by trying to duplicate the current installation, but not perfect. If you have good tires and care about the handling, get an alignment after replacing it.

    Also - you should really replace both, not just one.

    Thank you i have get close because i have drive 30 miles for a alignment shop, I guess i marked the location with paint

    Or..., just count the number turns when removing it and screw the new one in the same number of turns:) ... You will still need alignment!!!

    Thanks sounds like a good plan

  3. The mechanic in a local aligment shop claims that the right front tire on my 99 c2 has play side to side and the steering link need to be replace and the rack has to be remove to change the part. question is that part 2 separate parts do i change the portion that goes to the tire side or the inside part he claims that causes the car to pull to the right . Which part is bad in your guys opinion?.

    Find another shop. The rack does not need to come out to replace the outer track rod. I didn't take the protective cap off before snapping the pics so you can't see the threads of the ball joint.

    Thank you i will order the part

  5. My mechanic installed agency power mufflers in my 99 c2 excellent quality fit perfect no problems took 55 minutes for the installation $70.00 including tax also changed my fuel filter included in the $70.00. The car sound great good balance not loud not soft great sound driving away. No resonance nice little boost in power. And most important the wifes Loves!!!!!!!!!!!!! the sound. Got them on Ebay $845.00 including shipping. great deal!!!!!!!!!

    I think there are quite a few of us holding out for the right exhaust sound. You could do us all a big favor if you can point us to a YouTube.com link of a video/audio track for this exhaust, or if you could take your own video file and upload it to YouTube.

    Does anyone know of a somewhat central location on the web that lists the various aftermarket exhaust systems available and has a link to the sounds/videos for those exhausts? Loren, if there isn't one, would you consider some way of adding it to this site? I'll offer to start searching the web to place available links to products and audio/video clips - just let me know and I'll put this together on the side and send it in. As much as aftermarket exhausts and modded OEM exhausts keep coming up in these forums, it seems like this is one of the biggest mod categories for a lot of folks. I saw that there is a PSE exhaust DIY, with numerous aftermarket references, but I see a need for more than that.

    YOU are on the money great idea i will work on a sound clip for your tube. Thanks for the idea. A bank of sounds to compare
