Default What The

Ask this before, but here it comes again....94.... When going over a bumpy road it sounds like the whole front end is coming loose. Maybe I bend the truth a little bit,,,,,,,,, but anyway it's nerve racking...I've checked the tie rods,bushings and everything else under there. The brake calipers shake when I move them and think that's my biggest problem. There is some kind of shim that should stop that but have not found it yet...... please give me some help... Also why does my post have an edit it the right hand corner and no one else does. Is it from my typing 23 wpm...

I have a 93 Vert that had the same problem. What you need are caliper spring clips. Part # 5598A they cost $7.99 at any auto parts store. I bought mine on-line at partsamerica.com. It will only take you about 2 minutes to install them once you have the wheels off. Remove the caliper pin, slide the caliper off, clip the spring onto the bottom of the caliper and slide back in. It will be nice and solid and you will never hear it again. As for the edit button that is so you can edit your own post but nobody elses.
