Thanks for input. When the rings go in these engines do they usually kill the cylinder wall at the same time? Curious cause the car still runs and drives very low on power. 36% leak-by on cylinder 1 sounds pretty bad to me. I am tempted to rebuild but it hinges on how bad the cylinder is and compres...

I put in Monroes in the front and have had no issues they work fine so far. Look to see if anyone is offering a rebate when I got the Monroes basically got the rear shocks for free because of the rebates they had.

what is interesting about this is when I changed mine 2004 AWD Vibe I verified I had a bad axle with all 4 wheels off the ground. The driver side front would NOT spin at all the other wheels were spinning. Sure enough had a real bad CV joint replaced the whole axle with an AZ part I also had a bad W...

figured it out on the AWD they have ABS brakes and the speed sensor on the passenger side front was bad. I replaced it and I had my speedo back and O/D. I thought that was kind of weird but that was the issue. Thanks all for help glad issue has been resolved sorry it took so long for m e to repair v...

I read a code of P0500 I think you are on the correct track. This is an AWD car with ABS do they still have a VSS of Transmission speed sensor. Also where are the located ?? Seems to be very little information out there on it or my searching is bad. I had the brake light and ABS light on for about 2...

I ended up getting the Monroe front quick struts (son said easy to install) and Monroe rear struts. Sent in my $100 rebate to Monroe so to me that is a great deal. My son 15yrs old put the front quick struts in while I was busy with work. He did a great job, but the ABS light is on in the dash : ( A...

Just went back on RA page lookign at cart of parts and notice Monroe has $100 rebate in form of CC if set of 4 struts purchased. that brings $400 down to $300. I was going for the Monroe items as they offer a better warranty on the Quick strut vs the KY B Quick strut. At least how I intrepid them. M...

Thank you great info the parts to order look OK. Will the 2-MONROE 904990 Strut-Mate Strut Mounting Kit Rear work on AWD ??

Forgo to ask is the rear setup like a regular strut like FWD ?? there is NO quick strut and curious how it is setup. Strut or shock (lke old cars use to have shock not integrated with spring) Just wondering what I am in for

2004 Vibe base AWD has 115,000 and it is time to get shocks and/or struts. Putting together order at R0ck Aut0 and want to make sure I am covering my bases. I am electing to get new sway bar links also. NOT 100% sure if the rear strut mount kit is correct for the AWD vibe (last item on list) List as...

Assuming this is for the front. I have that harbor freight tool that I use on all kinds of things, but not on the front bearing of the Vibe. I ended up taking my parts to the shop to have it pressed out and new one in. I got the hub out with a socket and hammer. I understand getting the HF tool beca...

I recently got 2004 AWD base modle Vibe with NO Cruise. In CL about 80 miles away there is a 2003 Vibe with factory Cruise that is being parted out and is going to the crusher this next weekend. I talked to the seller and the engine and tranny are gone, but he said the Cruise stuff should still be t...
