Re: AWD 2003 Suspensions swap out

Are you looking for just struts and such or lowering coilovers? I don't want to lower the car as we have bad winters here in Michigan. Example, my kids have missed two days this week because of a history making snow fall. My concern is that when you apply the brakes, the car dive down and to the ri...

Re: AWD 2003 Suspensions swap out

Hey Guys, Just wanted to update you and ask for more advice. I've found out that I can't trust Belle Tire and I will never use them again. I own my own computer business with multiple vehicles and I've spent over 10K at Belle tire within the last 14 months. They charged me a RIDICULOUS amount of mon...

Re: AWD 2003 Suspensions swap out

Maybe it's just me, but I'm hearing/feeling a noise in the front of the car. When I turn the wheel either way, I can really hear/feel it. Maybe it's suppose to be there and I'm just use to driving my 2009 GMC sierra for the past couple of years, but I swear something isn't right with the front. Almo...

Thanks for the knowledge. I will definitely keep and eye on it.

Re: AWD 2003 Suspensions swap out

Thanks for the Reply! I had Belle Tire replace any and everything that was needed for the AWD system. After looking at the receipt, it doesn't look like they replaced the seals in the rear diff. But they did change the fluids in the rear diff, trans, coolant and oil. I've seen others on this board s...

Re: AWD 2003 Suspensions swap out

Ok, so I got the vibe back today. Windows have been tinted and all fluids has been changed and the new tires are on. I still think there is something else that needs to be swapped out or upgraded as it seems to ride a little rough. Maybe it's just the fact that there is 110K miles on the stock suspe...

AWD 2003 Suspensions swap out

Hello Everyone, This is my first post as I've just recently acquired a 2003 AWD Vibe with 111,000 miles on her. I picked her up for $6100 OTD (seemed like a good deal). I took her directly to Belle Tire (Fenton Michigan) to get a total Amsoil Synthetic swap done on all the fluids. AWD fluid system w...
