    rack and pinion for our cars

    The hard steering is why they cannot rebuild them. At low speeds the powersteering pump works as it shoukd. At higher speeds the powersteering pump is bypassed so its not doing anything at higher speeds the the rack actually requures resistance and uses less power steering assist. Its varaible...

    Ok after looking into the china shocks im going to say it should be a hard pass. I am still working on it but they are not mag shocks as listed. They are actually a very cheap made shock with a built in simulator. So all you are getting is a shock with a bypass. For a little more you are better...

    Rear View Mirror Lamps

    Did he check the fluid level. I recommend removing the fluid from the canister then removing the canister . check the inside with a fine tooth brush and fresh fluid. Do not use any spray cleaner . reinstall and fill to top.

    Jimmie - New Owner

    Yeah the trunk should stay open . the two gas shocks holds it up not the pump. If it does not stay up by itself it wears heavily on the pump.

    Top roof control module

    Who tested it if you did not open the box. These ebay sellers slap tested on everything they sell. They would need a team of people just to operate all the functions of the cars they buy and first get keys made then get them running to test anything. The last 3 or 4 modules sold used on ebay...
