I already decided to take the Justy camping this weekend, and leave Blu at home. I was really really hoping someone would take pity on me about the sterring wheel. i need to find an extra pair of hands some place. With a double universal it is hard to judge. On the plus side i did not know that double joint was seized and i solved that issue. So jack stands come back out on monday. Geometry ewwwwww still need the spec i know it is here someplace

Not really, that one wheel example only applies if you get stuck or loose traction.. On dry ground you have 2wd and 4wd respectivly. A differential is a mechanical computer. It divieds the power between two spinning wheels http://www.howstuffworks.com/differential.htm Simplistically.. if the car goes straight, 4 turns of the drive shaft (1:1 final drive for math sake) will result in 4 turns of the wheels. Making a hard turn the outside wheel turns faster, the inner wheel turns slower, so one wheel will turn six times, one wheel 2 times, with the same 4 turn input. If traction is lost, then one wheel will turn no times, the spinng wheel will turn 8 times the drivshaft 4 times. This is why you never (on a 2wd open diff) never take a wheel faster then 30 mph because on that one wheel it would be 60. If both wheels are off the ground they may even spin in differnt directions.

They use colored reflections which makes for no loss of light, where colored bulbs do loos some light power (lums)

The color is not on the blubls, but the back paint behind the gauges. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=690378 I know it is a newer gauge set, but this is how it is done.

You have an intermittent fault. Next time the CEL happens do whatever you have to to read the code. -
This would solve my lighting issue in the Justy.

IN an emergency. you can get away with 2 tires, both on the same side of the car. This is ONLY if you do not have a VC in the rear diff. This is why i carry a full sized spare. I have it in my tire rotation. VC give no warning anything is wrong untill it is to late. An automatic will give you hints and clues before doom.

Newer ones actually have the back of the gauges (on some) painted green to give that green glow.

Since you think you know the noise, does it go away when you remove plug wires one at a time. It may be the beginings of knock or your paranoia. Don't worry, We shall all watch you do it, all 37,000 plus members.. MUHAHAHA
