Quick update; Looking at these two parts lists, for 2000 and for 2002, it appears there are 3 options for the cradles, and they are all the same part numbers, but there are 3 different ones!? 2000...

Hello all, always come back here sooner or later :D Have had an issue with the control arm driver's side for a long time, on my 3rd one, none have ever actually worked the same as original. Hit a curb years ago, long story... Its never been right since, had everything on that side replaced...

The plugs do not seem to have any oil deposits on them. The car has had a slight white oxide on the plugs since I bought it at 150k miles, it didn't start burning oil until about 210k, it now has 228k. Same exact white residue the whole way, kinda light, I had posted a pic of it before on here...

I never know where to post on here, there's a zillion places to post things! Doh! So where was it supposed to go? My bad, sorry guys. Well, it does give out just the tiniest bit of smoke on startup, but not much, that can't be where all of it is going, and it's the standard white smoke from...

Also, does it take much disassembly to visually check out the valve guide seals in the hope that those may be what is letting oil slip through?

Just out of curiosity, I'm not the most experienced forum poster, is there anything I am doing wrong to cause my not getting any comments/replies, or is it just that no one likes me anyway? lol. Blunt honesty always appreciated XD

So out of the blue, from one oil change to the next, I must have started burning oil. 3 oil changes ago, I was very displeased to discover that when I pulled the oil pan plug, only a quart or less drained out. It had never done that before. There are no leaks to be found, anywhere, at all, I've...

So I've been fighting with this car to keep it running for a while now, seems like once it hit 200,000 miles, it's been quite a battle. I'm not the most skilled in auto repair, I suppose in comparison to most here I'd pretty much be a beginner. I've made attempts to clean my EGR valve, guessed...

right, awesome, thanks guys... guess I'll just let it go until it dies or something.

Sorry for posting in the wrong area guys, still not real familiar with this forum. So I checked out that link, I had searched for something like that as well, however I can't really match any of those up completely, so I still didn't know what it was?

I had the strangest problem lately, btw I have an 02' Protege ES 2.0 I was getting a loss of power in the lower end of gears, or when I would let the rpms did, like for example going into 4rth gear at 35mph and letting off the clutch without getting up to past 40. Normally it never did that, it...

I bought a set of Blizzak Rev01's from a Firestone retail w/ some ugly black steelies. Got 185/65/15 size. It looks like my offset is +41 and my rim size for the width of it on a 15" is 5 inches, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3mm or 5x4.5" I think thats right, anyone agree/disagree? Now i just need...

the site is not that smart no, but if you look for 195/55 R15 tires there are a bunch, same with 195/60 R15... Don't know why you don't see them. I thought you liked the Hankooks; have you thought about what set you would get next time? what 15" wheels did you get anyway? what is the offset...

Tirerack is nice, i have looked at a lot of online places, but i really like the free mounting, balancing, rotating and optional warranty at discount, I pretty much am set on shopping there. So now i guess I would like to find the best combo of wheels and tires. If 15" is the way to go I would...

Well i did use the site's tools to lookup the sizes that it says will fit, but they only list what would fit 16" and up. They don't have the option to see tires or wheels that are 15", which is what it looks like may be my best choice
