Where IS everybody?

... > I still have also been lurking the forums <snip> Good to hear from all you lurkers again not that you've been 'outed' <smile> btw- I've been doing a bit of business with AutoZone lately. They opened a branch in Greenburgh, NY ( a few miles from home). Had been buying largely through CarQuest before and found lots of items were 'dealer only'... Autozone had many of the parts available either as new or remanufactured. MAF for LW300 was only $90 after core return. CTS was $39 and MAP was $99. Nice online ordering and pickup at store. Some of the part descriptions are a bit vague so sometimes needed to have someone do a stock check and confirm just what is included with a part. |

Nope. Traffic's pretty thin. So you meant that nobody's using the group, not that it's "disappeared" or something. As someone else mentioned, maybe nobody has anything to complain about right now. -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |

If you want complaints: '06 Vue, 124K miles, 4cyc-5spd... 1) damn wipers...The back wiper i have to twist on/off on the stick about 5-8 times to get it to "wake up" and get going. Each time it moves a little quicker util it's warmed up... 2) damn wipers (part 2)...Front wipers. The passenger side keeps breaking. The ball & socket connection that connects the wipers keeps wearing and popping out. I gave up and just run with the drivers side until a week before the inspection Then, I put them back together & use a few plastic zip ties through the hole that's there and around joint and it holds for a month or two. Unfortunately, you can't replace the problem part, and have to replace the whole assembly which last I check was really expensive. 3) have a suspension rattle in the front I just can't find. Every time the car rocks a little it clunks. I can duplicate this rocking the car by hand while it's parked, but I can't track it down other than it's in the front. Other than that, I haven't had too many problems with it. Hell, I have'nt done anything other than oil changes, and a new battery and alt. Noticed it's getting a bit sluggish when it's cold trying to get up to speed. But it's never had a tune up, running on original plugs, so I should really do one soon...when it warms up outside... |

I'm still here and still love my first new car, 1994 Saturn SW2 after
17 years and 300K miles of loyalty. I also restore vintage cars but this SW2 is the most comfortable car I have owned and the gold paint still looks new : ) Long Live the Saturn.

Depending on how much DIY you want to do, the ball and socket can be replaced with a Rod end similar to this: http://www.smallparts.com/steel-stud...qid=1299852342 SmallParts.com has an interesting accumulation of parts we often use for prototyping machines in my line of work. Before you go through all this, make sure that nothing in the wiper arm bearing is seizing up and causing excess force on the drive. |
