Do you mean they stopped being suspect? That would be good news for my '01.

Keep an eye on the tranny as they are suspect from 97-2000

I've solved a problem very much like that by loosening and re-torquing the

As for the list, yeah sorry, but this list is pretty low-key. I think yours

A8's? LOL, yeah, right, that MUST be it ;-).
