Thread: 2004 CompG - Thought I could delete all my posts; Nothing was ever wrong with the car

^everything you have there Bill. Is probbally worth more than my whole car

Parts master brand lol. Hopefully they dont fall apart once I install them. Will need a wheel alignment after everything is done.

UPDATE: The first half of the parts have arrived.

Purchased a pair or tie rod ends, front sway bar links, and control arms for the front hal of the car. trailing arms, rear sway bar links, transmission/engine mounts will come later.

One thing I am abit disappointed with is that I ordered the tie rods and sway bar links listed and pictured as Moog parts. The part number was even Moog. The listing brand was listed as Moog/ASP private label

I bought both sets for under $50 with free shipping and it turns out they are aftermarket. In the small fine print it says "parts are not exactly as pictured" However, when the parts arrived they seemed much stronger than my current stock setup and feel very sturdy. I have a 1 year warranty for all of the parts.

The really good news is the control arms I got on eBay are original AC Delco parts and I got both for $65 with free shipping. It was an auction and I was the second bidder. Buy it Now was $100 but I won the auction which started at $50.

Should have the parts soon. The second half of the parts for the engine/transmission mounts, rear trailing arms, and rear sway bar links installed later on when I have them purchased.


Here is what i got so far.

So I have the front end basically done, had the control arms, sway bar links and tie rods installed.

Also had a wheel alignment done. Wow what a difference. Upon inspection my control arms, tie rods, and sway bar links were all shot and loose it was dangerous lol.

Next comes Rear sway bar links, solid motor mounts, and water pump (I think mine is leaking). Bushings for my trailing arms still seems good so for now I will wait on that and save some money although I might change that next year. Should have the parts on order sometime in July and have them installed in the same month hopefully.

Gotta love eBay. Getting some great deals lately.

Here are the parts that I have so far planned for the car so far.

Rear official Moog sway bar links have arrived. Got a set of 2 brand new for $28 on eBay with free shipping.

Also have both motor and transmission mounts on order. Paid $51 for both with free shipping. Also they are solid mounts and are made by Westar and were bought on eBay as well. Should be installed sometime in July when I go upstate.

Anyone else getting some awesome deals on eBay for car parts?

Some more parts came in the mail today.

Rear Set of Moog Sway Bar Links.

Set of Front Moog Sway Bar Bushings

Westar Solid Motor Mounts (Both)

Set of Four Valve Stems and Valve Cores for my Tires (Had a Leak since owning the car and its not coming from the tires)

Should have them all installed when I go upstate next week hopefully. along with an Oil Change.

If not, maybe it was a onetime fluke caused by the 02 sensor acting funny.

Depending on the state you live in, you can probably simplify matters by running a catless down pipe if you don't have inspections... the code might fire, but you can have that tuned out easily.

In the state I live in emissions are strict and I cannot be without a cat.

Also, what do you think caused the clunking?
