300SC

Nope, I did it from underneath. Guess theres just more room on the 300's.

Just finished the install, very easy to do. And no, you do not have to remove the plastic cover on the underbody. For the SC 300's at least.

Oh well, I didnt pay for it. Its not my car.

I went to the dealership today and ordered the parts. They should be here Wednesday. Ill probably do a write up on the install.

No one knows whats involved in replacing the starter on these motors? Is it as simple as removing the bottom cover, remove the starter, then replace everything?

My girl friends 93 SC300 has a problem starting which is getting worse. You have to turn the key a few times to get it to start up. Its not the battery, but I was told its the starter solenoid. Is there a way to tell for sure whether its the solenoid or the actual starter? Or should we just go ahead and replace the whole starter? And whats it like to replace those things on the SC 300?

Thanks guys.

Ive got a water leak in the 93 SC300 on the pass. side by the kick panel. When you open the door, you can see where the water was running down. There is also water in the pass side a pillar when I pulled that off. I replaced the weather sripping around the door opening, the piece that goes all the way around. But it leaked again. Can you guys think of any other things to check/ replace? Maybe the shorter piece of weather stripping that goes around the door opening?

Hey guys, my girl friend has a 93 SC300 which needs some maintenance done on it. Not to long ago the ABS light was on because the gauge cluster was replaced. I came here and found a write up on how to turn it off and I took care of that no problem. But I cant find the website anymore. The site had a bunch of good info on it, how to change the fuel filter, spark plugs, coolant flush, AC recharge, etc. I was wondering if anyone knows of the site Im talking about?

Here are some things I need to do to it.

Replace fuel filter- easy enough, anything special I need to know?

Replace spark plugs- need to know what to torque them to, and what are good plugs. I run NGK's in my Mustang torqued to 13 ft lbs, are those good for these cars? I know gap is .044.

Front control arm bushings are messed up. Not sure if its upper or lower. But can I replace the bushings, or do I have to buy a new control arm? If I can just replace the bushings, where can I find them? It

looks like I can just replace the bushings according to this, http://www.pbase.com/xavier/gallery/bushings Just found these. Looks like these are good for the front lower control arms, http://rep.racepages.com/parts/racepages/w...showdc=true#top

Replace front and rear shocks- looks like stock ones are KYB, correct?

Replace brake pads- any write ups for this?

Change tranny fluid- any idea on how much to get and what to use? Make sure tranny is at full temp when checking fluid level correct?

Change rear end fluid- anything special here? Just need to know how much and what to get?

Lastly, where is the best place to pick up the shocks, struts, and lower control arm bushings?
