  1. i have a 92sc4 and recently i have noticed a sound coming from the rear of the car. the sound is almost like if there was a chunk missing out of the tire but there is not i checked all the tires. i know it is from something rotational and tied to the speed of the tires, not the rpm's. also i have noticed when i turn left the noise stops, but also if for instance i am on the highway and i change lanes to the left the back end gets squirly or lose, it almost feels like my axle is sliding.

    i have crawled under the car and did not notice anything strange, so i was wondering if anyone had had this problem before, or know what could be causing it. any info would be great,

    thank you

  2. does anyone know what type of bulbs the gauge cluster uses for the back light, and if so where is a good place to order some? I do not want to send my cluster in to be "repaired" I just wana replace the bulbs, i know how easy it is to get to them I just can not find any info that will tell me what kind of bulbs they are other then that they are toshiba.

    thank you for your time and help.

  3. I have been searching the forums and can not find anywhere with any directions or hints and tips about removing the front bumper. I was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that does tell how, or if anyone can give me some basic instructions.

    I would like to have an idea of what I am doing before crawling under there and feeling around and guessing.

    Thanks for your help.

  4. I thought you said in a previous thread that your bumper coverable was reusuable.

    You can buy an OEM bumper cover for $353.38 at http://www.parts.com/oemcatalog/index.cfm?...playCatalogid=0

    I'd sure think about that aftermarket bumper cover for $180.

    Yea I thought it was going to be reusable, then i did a bit more detailed inspection and saw that it was cracked had a number of cracks and chips. so i started looking for a new one. im going this week to get some quotes from a couple local body shops and see what they say about it, but i certainly dont want it just bondoed together.

  5. i was recently in an accident and now need a new front bumper cover, however being a broke college kid i don't have all that much to spend. i just cant stand the look of my sc4 all banged up and want to fix it asap.

    i found some cheap aftermarket ones on ebay but I'm just afraid that because they are so cheap ($180) they wont fit properly which will cause me more work then i would like and it still may not look right.

    I was wondering if any of you guys know of a good place to get one fairly cheap that will fit properly. i am not worried about it being OEM aftermarket is fine it just needs to fit with minimal convincing.

    thank you for all your help.

  6. to my horror i was involved in a minor fender bender, and i was wondering if it is ok to just have my bumper cover repainted since the paint is flaking off or if it is no good anymore?

    there are no cracks or anything, and i would really perfer to be able to just get it painted rather then have to buy a whole new bumper cover.

    thanks for the help, i just cant leave my baby with a banged up face.

  7. i have tried searching, and i have searched through about a hundred post and no ones problem seems to be identical to mine.

    next time i get a free hour of daylight ill climb under the car and check the ground since i can not see where it ends from above.

    i know the alternator and its connectons are good since i just replaced it last week.

  8. im having an electrical problem that occasionally, but not always, where everything electrical turns off then right back on when i turn on the turn signal, or hit the breaks. other times when i do those actions all the electonics just dim, but everyonce in a while everything shuts off for a second.

    all i can think of is that for some reason im not getting all my power from the battery/alternator (which both are new) and by adding an additional draw such as the turn signal or the break lights it over loads the system.

    if any one has any idea of what is causing this and how to fix it i would be greatly appreciative. i try to take care of my car as best i can and i hate it that no mater what i do i cant figure this electrical issue out.

    i am hoping it is something as simple as needing a new ground or positive wire off the battery, but simply have no clue.

    thanks for you help.

  9. my 92 sc400 is giving me nightmares.

    tonight for the second time in the 14 months i have owned the car i had an electrical problem. the car starts fine, but if i turn on the turn signal the radio bings off, the clock resets and the headlights blink. and if i press the breaks when the breaklights come one the headlights dim the radio cuts out and comes back.

    the battery is only about 2 months old since when this first happened (in december) that was my first though so i replaced it and didnt have the problem again till tonight.

    both times the problem fixed itself after driving for a short period of time.

    both in december and tonight the alternator tested normal, so my fear is that it is a short somewhere.

    has anyone else had this problem, or know anything about this problem?

    what can be done to fix it without A) spending alot of money, and B) buying a new car?

  10. the main problem with mine is that it has been riped through some of the bolts, so i got big washers to hold it there, but its still hanging down further then i would like, ill crawl under there and see if there is anything i could do to make it better before replacing it.

    i was just hoping there would be somewhere i could get one for a reasonable price.

  11. in my experience and through the dealings with friends it is never good to fight a speeding ticket. if they say no to the fee to get the deferment then ask the court clerk if you plead no contest what is the likely hood the judge will give you the deferred sentence.

    also you are 18 correct? ask if they have a teen court program. my home town has teen court for people up to 19. i did this when i got a failure to drive in a single lane citation. to answer your question that i know your asking i was drifting, i had an 89 Nissan 240sx. i paid 20 in court fees and was assigned 18 hours community service with a probationary period of 3 months, upon completing this it was expunged.

  12. screw your defences, dont try to fight the ticket. after a few days call the court house and ask if there is an extra fee to get it deferred, if there is you just pay the fine and dont get another ticket for the probationary time. after that time it will be expunged from your record, and you will never have been convicted so it will not go on your record and your insurance will not be notified.

    in Oklahoma i got caught by an air plane, yes let me reiterate, an AIR PLANE, doing 85 in a 70, my ticket was 222.50 and the fee to get it deferred was 50. so after 272.50 and a 3 month probationary period the charge was expunged and was never put on my record.

    so the moral of the story is, do not try to fight the ticket, yes there is a chance the cop doesnt show up to Court, but more then likely they will. and the judge will not buy any of your excuses and in most cases if you take it to court they will not give you the deferred sentence.
