Glad to hear that you prevailed! I believe that ebay sells upper strut steering bearings and some of the “box stores” do too. I’d call junk yards too in the event that box stores stop selling them. Heck, buy the entire built strut (Ebay) and have no rust whatsoever and new springs plus the bearings....

Alright I’m back. SHOCKS ARE DONE and here is how you do it everybody! How to put koni wrx shocks in 1988 style Beretta This includes Indy models so you guys get on this! We don’t need any external/additional parts! Here is how to put in a currently-produced WRX KONI into an old-style top strut stee...

Okay I’m up to speed. Thanks for the link. Idk how this works for a wrx then (8610) if there is no holding nut at the bottom of the cartridge. Uhhhhh one more thing. I thought that the gland nut was internal. Why not say “external mounting nut”? It’s hard enough without needing to affix the bottom a...

Not sure why an internal nut means anything. These should install the same way - cut inards of stock shock out so housing is left, insert Koni and screw boom the bottom with one screw. Mitsus are gone. I’m going wrx and Saab in rears. to answer your question earlier, they tighten (example wrx is 3x ...

It all depends on what you want and paying the opportunity cost for the end result. BALANCE IS ADJUSTABLE on a knob! It doesn’t get better than that (well some cars have electronic stiffness settings). So don’t consider balancing a problem. I adjust mine and go for a few months. Let’s say I then wil...

That is the question! I will solve it by diving right in... I need to fix 4 cars suspension... so I’ll first be buying some nos mitsu and putting them to the old-style top bearings. If mitsu stock remains, (shockwarehouse) I’ll continue before going wrx... will post updates before years end hopefully.

As requested, here is an update from Koni. I offered to buy 20 sets of beretta original and it didn’t dignify a response... so that number must have to be way up there to resume production. Here is what they wrote me after reading this thread: Andrew, The closest cut-a-stuck insert in production now...

Bump. ...potentially from 1984 when the first Fiero may have been mated to a 3800 ancestor. (3800 engines began in the 1960s officially separating “3.8” v6 with the popular name “3800” through major revision in 1988). On the other hand, I’m late to the party. this post focuses on flywheel bolts. Why...

Thank you Eric! Well then we aren't hosed completely. I am amazed that the search function on Rodneys site doesn't work better. Search should have showed me this. If you think there is a chance of that autozone-originated p/n coming through so it can be found and bought from someone's dusty shelf, p...

I split the case of a 5spd to redo the seal... Leaking bad, it can wait no longer! While I was in there, I wanted to replace as many seals as I could. Where can we get: Clutch fork bearings? (One needle-roller type each side of the shaft) Main Input shaft bearing? (The one that’s pressed in, and in ...

orange car with no name<---- going through undercoat process RIGHT NOW, today

How about sound absorbtion? The car is a daily driver, but I don't drive it in salt water. I have not tested a before and after. its thicker, and so more abrasion resistant. I'll also add that I did not wipe down the surface with alcohol or wax-grease remover... just sandblast, prime [spray can] and...

DADS PAINT STRIPPER Blue and white can. Period. No Klean strip, or anything. Buy this at a local house paint store. That’s where I find it most. Don’t know why... I don’t care for price because you can HEAR it lift paint above 72F in seconds. Spray or brush? No preference. I think I waste less by br...

I’ve undercoated with non rubberized, standard shake it spray can from auto parts store, a car 20yrs ago. It’s not driven in salt, or rain on purpose and has held up like it was sprayed last month. ....so it’s not self-defeating. I’m currently using rubberized 3M brand, $15 a can, on a car now. I’m ...
