Re: wheel bearings

Hi,, answer is no.. If your bearings are noisy I would change them.. Easy job ( if it comes off easily) but expect a problem as is usually the case with most things..lots of threads on this and YouTube is good for DIY,s. :handgestures-thumbupleft: good luck,, got mine to do but lots on and no cover ...

Re: Rear subframe rust woes.

One thing.. If you need to jack the car up from the rear crossmember be sure to spread the load as much as possible with a piece of 2x2 as jacking from a small contact area is asking for trouble ...if just jackin one wheel my fave place is the smallish area at swinging arm mount again with 2x2 to sp...

Another crap magnet to be aware of

On the front wings where it goes down to the sill is a bit like a V shape and this fills with soil and debris.. Mine was about 2" deep in moist sandy soil and starting to corrode. Not easy to get at, but with door open and maybe sill off its worth a look.

Re: x2 38mm white SMD LED (?CREE?) Festoon bulbs.

Found it.. I did post list was wrong but to my shame I did not report the size reqd. They do make contact, terminal to holder, but they can't be any bigger!! On the limit ! So long as you get conductivity all is good. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Re: x2 38mm white SMD LED (?CREE?) Festoon bulbs.

Hi RIk, I got these same bulbs for interior light as per the bulb list as you did. They are much longer than original one, but they will go in and work with a squeeze. I'm pretty sure that I posted that list was incorrect :handgestures-thumbupleft:
