Thanks man!

[banditt1992GP]

no problem, briefly flirted with putting the front clip of a 2 door on my 4 door, but not sure how that would look

[94 olds vert]

That's something I've always wanted to do. Put a ground effects package on a GP sedan.

Everything fender flares, lower body cladding and front and rear bumpers. With dual exhaust out lets.

[banditt1992GP]

I know it's been done, I just like the body kit from the newer GP's and flirted with the idea of putting the nose of a 2 door on my car. might increase airflow.

This car is really testing my patience right now.

My grand prix has developed this hard left pull. I've dealt with this issue before on this car, but this time it's different.

If I make a left or right turn it constantly pulls to the left. Before I had a memory steer issue. I turn to the right it would go straight. Turn to the left it would pull left hard.

I got that fixed. Over the past couple of days this new pulling issue has gotten pretty bad. It takes quite a bit of strength to keep the car going straight.

This is the position my wheel needs to be in to keep the car going straight.



I've recently replaced tie rods, ball joints, spring plates, front struts, and calipers. I also replaced my front sway bar bushings, and control arm bushings. I had the car aligned after that and it was driving fine.

Now it's pulling again and I'm not sure what it is. Might be a bad belt in my left tire?

[banditt1992GP]

yeah, hopefully someone can awnser this too, I have the same issue, just have not replaced anything yet, though my wheel is not as far to the right

[94 olds vert]

So I bought a set of TGP hood louvers for my car. I'll post some pictures when I get them in the mail. I really can't wait to get these installed. I've always wanted a Pontiac with a louvered to ram air type hood for years now.

[banditt1992GP]

yeah, I'm selling mine, too many problems to list.

[94 olds vert]

I don't blame you. Sometimes it's better to walk away. I hate these cars. But I do like them too. That's why i own 2.

[banditt1992GP]

yeah, there's oil in the coolant, shocks went out, needs wat too much at this point.

If you figure out your steering problem, please do tell.

[94 olds vert]

Well, I guess I can talk about that. My coil spring bearing on the right side had completely seized up. The way it was seized it always caused the car to pull to the left.

The knuckle on the front is one piece, and when you turn the spring turns with it on it's own bearing. Well, due to rust and wear mine was no longer working. The spring was locked into place probably during a left turn and it wouldn't come unstuck.

After getting into it, and replacing that part. A lot of working. Had to remove the knuckle and take out the spring from the car.

The car now goes really straight down the road and I don't have any memory steer issues. Before I only replaced the spring seats, and not the actual bearing. I didn't think it looked bad at the time, but I guess you can't always go by looks.

nate, you may have convinced me to keep the bencar white....

definite thumbs up from me.

[94 olds vert]

Good, Good. I can't wait to see what progress you have made on it. I really have a thing for white cars. Not sure if you noticed. lol

I love driving this car even if it is the 3.1. Tomorrow it's hitting up the body shop and getting a little bit of rust fixed and the louvers installed.

[RobertISaar]

you know... bencar was originally 3.1/4T60 as well.....

just sayin.

as reliable as most LH0s are(not including yours apparently), and as economical as they are, and as awesome as they sound compared to their asthmatic power delivery....
