    no problem if its a money thind i completely understand. They run about a 100-120 bucks a pair. if you cant do all four at the same time changed the front ones first. just keep it under 60 for now

    thanks a lot for the help i know i gotta change the struts but as long as i stay off the freeway im just gonna have to wait and save the cash. thanks a lot for the advice

  7. lovemym16 says:

    it sounds like the tires or mayby the rims are out of round that will cause a vibration at speed but that would be felt only in the wheel. you might have a case of “wheel hop” check the tire balence and test your struts( you probly no to push down on all four corners get the car moving up and down if it bounces more than twice replace your struts if it bounces 4 or more its a saftey hazard and could cause a blowout in extreme cases) let me no how the struts are

    no, the cracks do not have anything to do with the strength of the belt. however they are a tell tale sign of the age/condition of the belt. if the material is old and hard, it could cause the belt to slip.

    u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved

    thank

    this is what i really need. that come in handle, this is good stuff

  16. john21031 says:

    False, cracks alone do not call for the belt replacement. Read automotive technology manuals.

    The cracks are just a minor cosmetic damage that does not sufficiently reduce the strength of the belt which has nylon threads inside of it.

    In determening when to change a belt, consider milage, number of years inside the car, and the condition of the flat surface opposite of the groved surface.
