Mine is quite old (maybe 30 years old) and I bought it at Sears. Beware of the Harbor Freight tool which is made on China. It's inexpensive and weak and it bends and breaks. Get a real tool. Happy Boxstering Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
... the continuity in each sensor. Pull out a sensor and disconnect from the main connector. Check the continuity while wiggling and moving the wires. If you loose continuity intermittently you have a bad cable. You'll get the brake wear light when continuity is broken, not by grounding itself with the rotor.

... they called it a wing. A WING creates lift or downforce (depending on how it is positioned). A SPOILER reduces lift by spoiling the airflow which would cause lift or downforce.

But, we are in need of more volunteers. Please register as a volunteer through the website. Hope to see as manyby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Events
... the Front Engine Mount is bad, you replace it. If it isn't, you don't. I don't think that one has any bearing (no pun intended) on the other.
