Ask a question.

[Tuner923]

I am making this thread b/c I have left for sometime now and see there are a lot of new people here with very little knowledge of cars and how they work. I'm not here to insult you're intelligence. This is the thread to ask a question about something you want to know how it works or what does what. Basically, something that is just bugging you and you want to know more about. This is not the place for "oh my car is making this noise what is it?". I am here to help educate you on automobiles not diagnose your car. Pay me flat rate and I'll jump on it.

If I don't know off the top of my head I will find you the answer and I'm sure I'm not the only guy can answer some of your questions. I will try to explain in the simplest terms and use pictures if at all possible.

My question that has pondered my mind:

Why do you all leave the car on neutral? You couldve left it in park and still left the car on? Or is it different for Manuals?

lolwut?

I have a question also.
I was told that if I put a supercharger on my car i will lose power because they rob power.
Is that true?

 

[cobalt123]

you will gain power putting an sc on your car. you wont gain as much versus putting a turbo on because it takes power to run the sc, meaning the sc isnt very efficient. it takes HP to get the rotors spinning...in lamen terms of course

 

[bbrewbaker]

I just wanted to say that I knew that.

But this jackass don't.

Problem: Sway Bar End Links.

Solution: Powergrid Sway Bar End Links.

Next Question.

 

[cobalt123]

well zack i agree with ^ i still have a lnf front sway bar with endlinks ill let go for 50 even. much less than powergrids

 

[USMCFieldMP]

The problem lies in the stock endlinks not liking lowering springs. Enter the beauty of Powergrid's adjustable sway bar end links. Put stock ones back in... and its only a matter of time before the problem comes back.

The Sportlines don't help the situation. Spring Rates are horrible. I used to have them. Switched to Pedders. Million times better. Gestapo just switched from Sportlines to Pedders, as well. He agrees.

I had Powergrids in my cobalt and they didn't help at all then I switched to Moog Endlinks and god what a difference they made.

ok i got one . brake pedal sticks .. only if i lightly tap the brake like if im going down the highway . if i tap it it dont return all the way i have to pull it just a little with my foot to get the brakelights to shut off . not a sticking brake cause when it does this the car still drives straight . if i give the brake a good jam it returns to where the brakelights arnt on

Did you install them correctly? Powergrids are great... but they do need to be installed correctly.
