      I'm sure someone is going to say "OMFG USE SEARCH"

      Uh, linkage bushing should be the shift linkage bushing.

      Is energy suspension a brand or website or something though? Never heard of it.

        trust me dude.. i've been effing the G while searching. my questions are those that i'm not finding answers too..... anyway, more questions
        • should i replace the tie rods ends just because
        • should i replace the lower ball joints just because

        i ask this because i'm not sure if i NEED to anyway, but figured it wouldn't hurt. So i guess are these things that 'go bad'... ya know, do we have problems with them?

          If you think those tierods etc are original, and the car has 100k on it, change 'em, just because. If they're tight, congrats, you now have spare parts.

              mating 4 wire tps with '?' tb

              so i got the tps in the mail... read something that you need the bp automatic tb.. well... ofcourse the tb i'm using is with the engine. but i also have the sohc tb and a gtx tb here with me.... i mated up the tps with the gtx tb... and well.. is it right? it seems to fit...

              pic 1: GTX TB and 4 wire tps
              pic 2: tps mated to gtx tb with relaxed placement... (just sitting)
              pic 3: tps mated to gtx tb where mounting holes are aligned, and slight tenstion is felt 'inside' the casing...
