    Rear upper control arms 1993 Lexus SC400

    Pre loaded Rear Coilovers?

    Edit: bought KYB exl-gs and I'm just going to do it, so far taking it apart was very easy and I figure as long as I'm careful putting them back together will be just as simple. And just un case you do decide to rebuild the struts... I know a lot of folks are comfortable using power tools with...

    Classic ol' not staying running issue.

    Also I agree on not going after the injectors 1st! while they are old, they have worked hours prior to this issue with no problem and no noises or weird happenings. I think as you suspect it may be a throttle body cleanliness issue which I will address or it is unfortunately an electrical...
