    Front end work

    Stupid question of the night...how do you remove the sway bar end links from the front struts. I tried to when I replaced the control arm on the passenger side, but the nut and stud both spun together. As soon as I get the new struts in and the third set of rotors and pads I'm going to have to...

    Transmission shift problems-2007 LS 5spd

    I haven't yet, the research I have done suggests that it is filled for life, which I'm assuming is 100,000 miles. I plan on changing it when I change my oil again, in the next couple of weeks.

    Transmission shift problems-2007 LS 5spd

    Lately I have been having some issues with either my shifter/linkage or my transmission. The problem is mostly with the first three gears, though occasionally fourth acts up. When I go to put the shifter in gear especially when stopped sometimes it won't go into gear, and I have to engage the...

    Trunk release

    I replaced my trunk release button with a gate switch. I ended up having to put it on the other side of the steering wheel, due to the lack of space on the trim piece. You should see the looks I get when some gets in my car and sees the bright red gate switch on the dash. I have been asked if...

    break breaking

    The other day my wife and I noticed a grinding noise when I braked, which got worse so when ever the car was moving. (good thing she was with me or I would have never have noticed with my music) Any way I pull the fronts off and find the inside pads and the inside of the rotor was glazed and the...

    I have two problems with my car. It is a 2007 LS sedan, and the spoiler is cracked. Apparently the last owner (I bought it used from Car Max) used the spoiler as a handle to open the trunk and cracked the base of it. My wife found a base model coup spoiler on line, which is great because I like...

    Steering

    Does any one know what causes the power steering to go out? Like a short or bad motor?

    Steering

    When the power steering motor goes, does the steering lock up or you just go to manual steering? I've pushed my Cobalt around the parking lot after my wife killed the battery and the steering wasn't that hard. I don't think I would even notice at highway speeds.

    Twin Turbo?

    You can twin turbo any thing, cost aside its just about getting the turbine right and the flow across the pump (compressor) right. All a turbo charger is, is a small turbine driven centrifugal pump. With a small 4 cyl engine you wont be able to use large turbos due to the lack of exhaust...

    hissing noise

    I've been meaning to ask about this for a while, I have a 2007 Cobalt LS sedan and I've noticed that when the RPMs get over 4500 when I'm taking off fast or going to pass real quick on the highway, there is a loud hissing noise from the engine. It sounds sort of like a turbo or a supercharger...

    Power programers

    what kind of fuel economy do you get after the tune? I get 32-34 mixed highway/city and I drive 34 miles to work most every day. I don't want to totally kill my gas mileage.

    mixing and matching

    well what is different on the LE5 from the LNF bottom end for sensors? If you could get the LNF computer to take readings on the LE5 then it should work. ---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ---------- By the way thanks for the input on the mixing and...

    mixing and matching

    I figured that I would have to bore out the combustion chamber on the head to match the cylinder bore and the block I think would have to be machined. I came across something that mentioned that the LNF engine used a head gasket that fit in to a grove around the cylinder and combustion camber...

    f-ing rear drums :facepalm:

    the squeak could also be a loose or missing shim, causing the shoe to vibrate and make noise, also the pivot points will cause squeaking, just be careful with how and what you grease and what you use for grease if i remember correctly i think there is a special grease for drum breaks. and...

    Toyota

    that is what happens when you let computers control what you can do your self. there is no good reason to have dive by wire. i had a 1978 chevy c-10. the only power option on that truck was power steering, and that was added on to it by a previous owner. my wife said that she felt bad for me...
