As Rosanne Rosannadana used to say, "Never mind." My face is slightly red right now. Literally two minutes after I posted I picked one up in my hand and I guess out of frustration put a little more juice into it and found that the socket on the large end is threaded and rotates out to any ...

Hey guys, me again. I received my supports and they've got me kinda stumped. The sockets aren't lined up properly to fit on the balls and I can't figure out a way to move them. Everything seems to be in a fixed position and can't be rotated. I thought maybe if the piston was pushed in then maybe it ...

Thanks to all for your replies and insights. My problem is the hatch not staying up.
Will order from RockAuto and hope they come quickly so the missus doesn't ream me out too bad. She already banged her head once. Yikes!

Thanks ehoff121 What threw me was Rock Auto had that exact one for 14.73 and Car Quest/Advance was 33.99. I just assumed that had to be for 2 but could find no notation of that on Advance site.

Hey guys thanks for the responses. Took a test run and the noise does not abate in neutral at speed and I thought maybe got louder with a slight left swerve and quieter back to the right. Not sure but will bring the wife on a test run when she gets home from work as another set of ears to see if she...

Hey fellow Vibettes short time lurker first time poster here. Searched the forums a little but didn't find an issue exactly like mine so here goes. I have a 2004 1.8 front wheel drive purchased brand new with roughly 120,000 miles on it. It's been a good car for us but lately is throwing out this go...
