JOHN 86 Vanagon Gloucester MA
I had a squeaking front end for the longest time then it turned into a thumbing noise . So I had it look at and it turned out to be the upper control arm bushings . Which I had John at Barnard St. Motors @ Marblehead MA. look at . He has a machine shop he uses next door to his place ,tried to remove them (they can be purchased)with on avail so I had to replace the control arms.on both sides . Good Luck. |
