[V8] Yikes...it's a total rebuild...

[Brian K. Ullrich]

Bob,

That is a very generous offer, but the car I'm working on now is a '90 200.
I DO have a '90 V8, and I very well may need that DS for it, but I don't
even know that right now since my V8 is awaiting a truck in North Carolina
at the moment.

What would you want for it, just in case it doesn't get snapped up by one of
the list lurkers?

Brian

Hi,  I may be able to help you with the driveshaft. Years ago, I purchased
an entire 
driveshaft with center support assembly from a car that had "less than
50,000 
miles" on it. I found the driveshaft and the center support was made for the
'90, 
'91 V8, but not the '92, '93 V8s that I have. So, it's looking for a car
(anyone) that 
needs it, cheap, less than the price of a strut! I have a fondness for the
later model.

Does your car have a thump right under the drivers seat when you go over a
curb? 
My V8 just started that when I put Bilsteins on it. I also got a set of
Goodyear GT II 
v-rated tires that I absolutely hated for 300 miles. But, they forced me to
go over 
the suspension and now they are ok. I have learned to drive with them and
have 
forgotten my old Michelin Pilot XGTs.   Bob Williams
