      Not that I know, I should check though. Never have and the car was baught used. I do have a loose intake hose clamp at the throttle but the hose is on as normal at each end.

        When the rear mount was put in.the engine was not supported very much. It was only supported to line up the throughbolt.

            I ask because if only 1 mount was replaced, shouldn’t all the mounts be loosened and retorqued? I’m thinking that if a new mount is put in the position and strain put on all the other mounts changes. Am I wrong?

                I did, he said that the rear engine mount is DOA and another mechanic says just remove the front mount altogether. What could i do as far as DIY? What is the correct general procedure for installing and tightening mount bolts?

                    I like Denso. Anything Japanese is alright with me.

                      I agree with outdoorsman310, there is a Youtube video from Scotty Kilmer where he says that you should never wash your engine, the most obviouse is because you don’t live in there, and also because on older cars the dirt accumulated acts as sealant and lo

                        Is it a kit for the entire car you need or just for the doors or trunk or …………….? Also you can find universal strips that fit your needs. Usually that is also cheaper than the OE parts. In my experience, th

                          First of, what suzuki are you driving. With that i mean is it a european model or not. If so, there are some some good sites on the web to find cheap parts for european cars.

                            I imagine you could look on Google weather-stripping, or if you’re more of a DIY-on-the-cheap kind of person, you could fabricate some yourself out of dense, water-resistant foam.

                                I’m stumped on this one myself, anyway you could post some pictures? One step that I DO know is that you need to disconnect the negative battery cable before you start your work.

                                Will do as soon as I can. Still looking for an alternator to buy. Also, need to find a tire and the passenger door lock is messed up. Damn this car went from running like a champ to making Ford look good. Was a this neglectful?

                                  is this the car that is just a renamed GM car? if so what is the GM vehicle so i can find it. all i will really do is search google. you may have luck doing the same.

                                  No, I think you’re mistaking my car with a geo prizm/metro or something. My esteem has a G16 motor from factory.
