    WTB: Front Right Lower Control Arm

    The bushing has gone bad on mine, so I'd rather just get the whole assembly. I also need the bolt which runs horizontal that clamps onto the lower section of the ball joint. Sorry for the wordings, but I couldn't find that part anywhere, believe its the pinch bolt??

    No Cd Player or Keyless Entry

    After installing my boost gauge last week, I noticed the CD player and Keyless Entry stopped working. I believe the problem started because I spliced the 12v red wire on back of the cd player to power my gauge (STUPID ME). To try and fix the problem, I disconnected the gauge and put everything...
