The Z probably has more natural camber because of it's ride height/shorter springs. The arms are the same though

It's gonna be my toe John. I've been sort of out of it lately because of the meds I've been taking and lack of sleep lol

I've done so many rear camber kits on G's and when my customers go off for a test drive...come back "my lights are on"...I look at the toe...adjust and it goes away. Big brain fart on my part. Thanks again for the help

The inner lip on my rear tires are completely bald now Gonna see about flipping them this weekend which is when I will adjust my camber & toe.

I got all sorts of stuff to fix after this trip

There are a couple of weird sounds that "seem" to be coming from the bottom of my car (tranny?)

When I accelerate fairly hard, there's grind-like sound that comes from the bottom of the car. It only happens at the lower gears.

And also, if I idle in either Drive or Reverse, there's this sound that sounds like something is loose, but if I put the car into Park or Neutral, the sound disappears (brake pedal pressed).


Any idea what they could be?

I haven't had a chance to check it yet, but what would be considered bad? (So I know what I don't want to see lol)

I did do a 75k mile check-up thing at the dealership (parents insisted) and they said they would change all the fluids, but I doubt they did as much. (Car's at ~79k now).

You want to see clear red fluid that stinks (but not burnt smelling) with no gritty feeling to it.

If it's brown, or smells burnt. It NEEEEDS to be changed badly. If it's black, gritty, looks like there's debris in it, sparkles etc... you have some serious problems.

Serious problems as in I'll have to get it rebuilt/get a new one?

And that'll run me about 3k, right?

Why don't you check your transmission fluid before you start panicking.

Heh, I'll check it as soon as I can.

Thanks for you help xD I'll let you guys know later on after I check it.


My parents didn't take great care of the car before they handed it off to me recently, so I hope the damage isn't too bad. haha
