Re: Rebuilding Gen 4 Struts

So, it looks like Monroe Strutmate 63622 boot will work on the rebuilt strut, and you can modify / cut down by an inch a Dorman 523-237 Jounce bumper to work. I'll post photos when it is back together.

Re: Rebuilding Gen 4 Struts

So ... Rock Auto says there's an aftermarket kit MEVOTECH MP63622. This led me to doing some digging and it seems like that same kit is used on a Chevy Impala. So ... I searched AC Delco and came up with this Monroe Strut-Mate 63622 Suspension Strut Bumper and Bellows Kit for Chevrolet Impala. I jus...

Re: 92 Toro motor mounts

This was the reply on the Olds forum that helped me find the right part ... I strongly suggest you buy yourself the seville 4.9 engine mount and pull your existing mount. Once you do this you will see exactly what needs to be done. I cannot comment on the easiest way to accomplish the modifications ...

OReilly has...

Re: GM Passkey on 4th Gen Toros

I had the same message many years ago on my 92 Trofeo ... and this is going to sound strange, but it was immediately after an earthquake. I've heard in the past that quakes put out electrical disturbances. In any event, the issue cleared with the Trofeo in about 4 hours. Actually, the same day, my w...

When the temp outside drops to between around 55-65 F, the system says the A/C refrigerant is low . Occasionally it will flash refrigerant very low message. I had...

Re: 92 Brake proportioner valve

There seems to be no listing for a 'new one' anywhere. I was also looking for a good substitute, but cannot find any cross reference
