The speedo on my car (92 Loyale wagon) works on a speed sensor, computer controlled) not sure if it is scan tool adjustable or not... the 88 was cable controlled i think

if you change the tire size it will change the speedo... for sure. There probably is no computer on the car so you would have to change the gears in the speedo head or something... not sure how to do that exactly... lol

I think i almost got er fixed. I replaced the cv axle today again, got some MOOG ball joints.. the passenger side (old one) was ok, the driver side was really bad !! I cut open my knuckle and broke a finger gettin the darn thing off...it was stuck bad and had a 1/4 inch movment in it.... i finnaly got it back together and the test drive was soooo smooth... no shaking in the steering wheel.. no rattle.. no cluncks... still need some tie rod ends,, but they are ok for a few hundred miles...

Ok.. there not broke, so i guess they are ok..

How do i know if my engine mounts are bad ?

Yes.. i am working on it right now, replacing the passenger cv axle..the ball joint seals are worn out, so i am going to replace them today, the tie rod ends are in good shape, a little loose when i wiggle them, the stabilizer bushings could probably be replaced also, i was wondering about the engine mounts... how do i know if they are bad ? i was just looking at hem and they seem ok.. is there some way to test them ? Also yhe TOD (tick of death) came back, i was using 5w 30 oil in it. Should i use thicker oil in it. I have been running sea foam in it, it quiets it down untill it leaks out..lol

Ok.. soo i went to another autozone here in town and i told them about what the other store had told me. They told me that they could not flag my account and had to honor the warranty. They checked my account.. no flag and said to bring it in and they would give me a new (remanufactured one) They also told me that if my ball joints, tie rod ends, or alignment, or motor mounts were bad, that would destroy the cv axle... but this one i got started clunking almost immediately. My ball joints seals are blown so i will replace them. The seals on the tie rods look good but are easily moved by hand.. should i replace them ? Another thing.. if something else is destroying the cv axle, how come the driver side cv is fine ? I have some pics but i can't post them here. So i guess i will be starting to work on this tomorrow after school (College).

Yeah... i was pretty irratated when they said they were going to flag my account.. I really hate autozone now... the only reason i went there is because they just built one right by my house. Maybe i will go back and throw a fit, i am pretty sure it is their crappy part. I will surely not buy anything from them again. I also had a ignition control module tested there for my Ford, they said it was bad... and it wasn't !

It was a remanufactured autozone cv axle. They told me that they would not warranty it since it was the second one i got. If i get another one i am not going back there ! The noise goes clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk then goes away. Maybe when i pull it off again i will take it apart and check to see if there is any damage, also plan on replacing the tie rod ends, and i will check to see if it has that bushing you are talking about. I love my soobie and the interior and body are in great... almost perfect shape for a 92.

I replaced the water pump on my sooby the day i bought it, it took my all day, but it was a success ! Of course.. i own a lot of tools.. so it was a snap...

Hey.. i am new too... i got some questions and tech talk too

WHOA.. Is that legal ? Street legal... that's some serious mod !

I just got my sooby loyale a few months ago and have been fixing it up... i already want to put a lift on it, but am having a weird clunking noise while accelerating... need to to fix that before i lift it.. already wanting to turbo it.. lol

Hello, i recently bought a 92 sooby loyale, it was running bad and missing horribly, water pump leaking, clunking when accelerating, engine ticking, the people that sold it to me said a mechanic wanted to charge them 800 dollars to fix it and had to pull the motor... I found out that it was just a bad spark plug wire.. changed the plug wires, fixed the water pump, changed timing belts, and put in a new mickey mouse gasket in the oil pump... it runs pretty good now ! Have you checked the plug wires ? sometimes you can use an ohm meter to check them. I got a new set of plug wires for 8 dollars...

yes, i checked the tie rod ends, they are bad and need replaced, i am thinking the wheel bearing is bad. The noise is more of a rotational noise, like what the cv joints sound like when they are going bad. Maybe the transmission..The noise is mostly when i accelerate hard, or turn right. (transaxle) ? When i wiggle the upper cv axle, it has a little play in it. I was also told that the engine mounts may be loose... I think i will start by pulling the wheel bearing out and checking it over and re-greasing it. It is a tough noise to diagnose, and hard to explain a noise to someone.. lol. I tried rocking the wheel back and forth.. no noise.. no looseness.. bouncing it up and down.. no noise.. hmm.. ??

Hello everyone, I am new here. First post. Well i bought a 1992 loyale a few months ago, had tho TOD and leaking water pump, fixed those problems.... It had a clunking or clicking noise coming from the right front... so i thought it was a bad cv joint. I replaced it and the noise went away for a few hundred miles... hmm so i got another cv joint and same noise ! It is gradually getting worse. Used to just do it turning right, now it does it when accelerating.. What could it be ?
