Well,I got the replacement struts put back on this weekend. I know something was up with the first set because the car has the higher initial stance that is typical of a strut install. It wasn't like that last time. I think I had duds from the get-go. The installation went smooth also. I drove...

I used ZCS for years. It's an awesome product! It was ahead of it's time for sure. Optimum Opti-Seal,and Ultima Paint Guard Plus are better products IMO,but the Zaino is no slouch.

I know I live in the same state they're manufactured in,but my replacement struts have arrived already. I called late Friday,and emailed Monroe my proof of purchase. I got an email that the person in charge of that department was out of the office until Monday too. In any event,the struts were...

I've heard it called Owl Grease,or Owl something else too. I have used 105/601 in every way. I've mixed them on the car,on the pad,and together in a bottle. The last time I used the combo I did them together on the hood. The combo worked awesome this time. I shook both bottles longer than I...

BigBird57, I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble with your tires. I do feel better that I'm not the only one who has bad experiences with stuff. I have an update on my troubles. I finally got enough of the rough ride,and I finally found/took the time to call Monroe about my struts. They were...

Originally Posted By: Rand did you replace the strut bearing plate/mount ? I used Quick Struts. They came assembled and ready to bolt right in.

I can get E0 Shell Marine Grade 93 Octane for $3.79 a gallon! The independent guy up the road sells regular for $3.70,and his 93 is $4.10. I like the guy,but I can almost gain a gallon per fillup!

I have a sample of 101,but I haven't gotten around to using it yet. I've been using the DG 105,and it's a nice looking sealant at a killer price. It doesn't last near as long as it's supposed to for me though,but I still like it! You absolutely cannot beat Duragloss products in regards to...

Well,I have a small update. I had my HHR aligned last week,and the shop looked the struts over. They said they lookded fine to them. I still have the rough ride issue,or so it seems to me. I definitely have strut issues though. I went to the dentist this morning,and I noticed a binding noise...

Originally Posted By: The_Eric I've seen some issues with the Monroes- mainly in the bearing plates. From what you describe, it really does sound like it's in the suspension and not the tires. Time to get it up in the air and recheck your work. Check out the lower control arm bushings. I believe...

Well,I apologize for the ranting post. Nothing I do seems to ever go right,but I thought the new tires/suspension work had gone quite well. It did for a few days as I said. I couldn't have asked for a better ride Something must have gone awry. I seem to be getting more and more of the bumping...

I used GasBuddy,and www.pure-gas.org as well.

Is anyone on here running these tires,or considering buying them? I noticed a while back the tread on my Traction T/A tires on my daily driver HHR was trying to separate. The tires had about 35K miles on them,and they rode fantastic. I had a set of these tires on my wife's old Grand Prix GTP...

I bought a Viking brand waffle weave drying towel off of Amazon,and it is flat out awesome. It's the best towel for drying that I've ever used. It's a huge towel,and it was under 10 bucks. I have some Cobra Guzzlers towels that I bought awhile back for a lot more money. I haven't used them...

RIP Possum!! He was one of the best no doubt! I can't stand most modern "country" music,but the old guys like Jones will always have a place in my heart!

Thanks for the help everyone! I made another pass clearing brush the other night,and I think I have it cut down to where I can spray now.

What chemical would you use to get rid of brush and vines? I'm looking for something to pretty much nuke the ground. I mean scorched Earth. I live in town so I can't pour oil,gas,or diesel out. I also don't want to burn either. I've cleared off a bunch of brush from the back of my property,and...
