Balljoint Q
Okay, I'm a bit of a lurker on this list, but I have a
question I'm sure
some of you can answer.
There has got to be a way
to replace just the lower balljoint and not the
entire lower control arm,
does anyone have a part number or a source for the
lower ball
joint?

I wish you were right.
I had both of mine done
2 weeks ago. Before then I looked everywhere for
other options but to
no avail; I just had to bite the bullet and swallow the
cost (and believe me
that wasn't easy).
I'm sorry to say, but it's all or
nothing.

Yep, or at least it's implied in to the
STIM. The steering angular velocity
sensor is the only sensor unique to
the anti-roll functionality, so I
ass-u-me that it is the sensor of
interest. I also ass-u-me that the reason
Chuck called it an
"anti-roll" sensor because he got a ECS failure code out
of his car and that
it referred to the "antiroll sensor". But I could be
wrong :)

I saw a conversion on eBay but can't

think it was a Targa top (entire section

Team3S: Trailer hitches
team 3s
I have a 1992 Dodge Stealth N/A.
According to the manual you cannot put
a trailer hitch onto this car. If this
information is wrong I would very
much like to know the limitations of towing
with a Stealth. I need the
ability to tow as I am building a hovercraft and
want to be able to tow
it.
Thanks for any advice that you

Team3S: car hauler for VR4
Thanks to all who posted advice concerning a
car hauler for my VR4!
I wound up buying an 18 foot (or 20 foot) car
hauler with two 3500lb axles
and electric brakes on one axle ($1450).
The trailer has a "dovetail" and
5' ramps. I still have to put wooden
pre-ramps under the 5' ramps and
wooden ramps on top of the deck to load the
car without scraping the
expansion box of the exhaust at the lowered "track
height". In trying to
load, I managed to expedite a repair of the flex
section of the exhaust that
I've been needing for a while. The car is
secured to the trailer with a
chain to the rear two shipping hooks and two
nylon straps with winches to
the front two shipping hooks.
I hauled
the trailer and car with a 2002 Land Rover Discovery from Houston
to the
National Gathering and back. The only problem was a short in
the
trailer wiring, caused by some assembler too lazy to run the wire through
a
penetration in the frame. Instead, they ran it between the frame and
the
deck. By the time I got to Elkhart, three wires had shorted
together, also
burning up my powered trailer light controller. The guy
who sold me the
trailer paid the $100 it took to make the repairs on the
road.
BTW Thanks to John Adams who stayed up until midnight at the
Gathering
trying to help me isolate the problem! Anybody know his email
address? I
can't find a link to email him from his
website.

Team3S: Trailer hitches
A hovercraft! WOW!
http://www.hoverclubofamerica.orgI
have seen some videos of those and always wanted to own one, ride it and
maybe race it too. For some wicked reason, in many videos that I saw they
showed them crash into trees, kinda like this:
http://www.hovercrafts.freeserve.co.uk/pics/darrenw.jpgI
still want to ride it one day. You need lots of cross-terrain open space
to
really enjoy it.
...
You should be able to attach a trailer hitch to
your N/A somehow. Some rear
structural body panels on an N/A might be a
little different, but it is
unlikely that they are different so that the
hitch won't fit. Jeff V. is
our local expert on the N/A vs. AWD body. If you
provide him with a sketch
of a hitch, he should be able to tell you if it
would fit. His N/A to AWD
conversion page is at
http://www.geocities.com/jvanorsdal/awd.htm.
But hey,
you are a handyman yourself if you are building such an machine as
a
hovercraft. You will be able to make that hitch fit.
However,
towing anything of this size with a 3.0L car is not really
recommended. I
used to tow a motorcycle on a light trailer behind a 2.0L
car (only 200 lbs
and almost no wind resistance). The car ran, but it was
hard to get it to go
75 mph uphill. After one season of driving like that I
had to sell the car
because the engine lost some of its power and I thought
that it might not
survive another season. If you have to drive at >50% of
the throttle for
any continuous period of time, that is too much load for
an engine to
handle, IMHO. It all depends at what speeds you will drive it
and what hills
you need to climb.
Good luck and enjoy your hovercraft. Show us some
pictures when it is ready.

Trailer hitches
The key to hauling with a trailer is to use common sense
--- you don't tow
a 4000# trailer at 90 mph up a steep grade. A small trailer
or a lightly
loaded trailer e.g. less than 1000# should be no problem
at moderate
speeds. When climbing a grade use a lower gear and keep boost to
a
minimum. I've used mine for multiple race events with absoutely no
problems.
The N/A should have even less problems as the turbo abuse would
probably
be the worst
issue.

detector. It protects from the
front, but detects 360 deg. Owning
one (my brother has one too) for the

it in person against one particular band police

jammed the speed signal for the cop until he got
within 200-300 feet.
Then the cop could read his speed. This is
documented in the literature

someone is trying to promote a different

What bands does it jam? Does it jam all 3 (X, K and
Ka)? Does it actually
jam the signal or does it emmit a dummy signal
that allows you to program in
your own speed? Many police radar guns
can detect jamming. Does this one
trip their jamming alert?
I
have not had a traffic ticket since 94. Strangly enough that was the
same
year that my radar and lazer detectors were stolen. Beats
me.

This makes me want to take off my front license plate or at
least make sure
it is always dirty or cover it somehow. Since I have a

reflecting off of my

RE: Team3S: RE: Police radars
I also own a Rocky Mountain Phantom, which
is just the jammer, not the
detector. I've read the different magazine
articles saying it is worthless
(after I bought it, or I never would
have.) I have not gotten a ticket
since I got it, and have been going
more than 15 over (once on a bridge and
once on a road leading to a highway)
at least twice where I saw the cop
actively radaring.
The one on the
bridge was a sting setup where one cop was actually standing
on the side
radaring while there were about 10 cop cars waiting for him to
give them the
signal apparently. There were 3 people pulled over ahead, and
about 7
more waiting to pull people over. I didn't get pulled over.
The
other time I saw the cop with the radar gun sort of pointed out the
drivers'
window. Both times I slowly slowed down, and kept
going.
I've also (apparently) jammed the "your speed is xx" signs on the
highway,
but someone on 3si.org said that they are only supposed to pick up
your
speed if you are very close to it, which is what happened, whether that
was
from the jamming or some kind of design limitation I don't
know.
The unit is supposed to block the signal completely, as if the
officer was
pointing it in the wrong direction or something.

RE: Team3S: Trailer hitches
I know trailer hitches can be installed on
our cars - my son's first '93 VR4
had such a hitch. Over the last
month, I have learned three general
principles for towing: 1) you don't want
the gross weight of the trailer and
it's payload to exceed the weight of the
towing vehicle 2) you don't want
the tongue weight of the trailer plus the
rear portion of the towing car's
weight to exceed the capacity of the rear
axle and 3) there are devices for
redistributing tongue weight back to the
trailer that help short wheel base
vehicles towing big trailers. If you are
not loading the rear seats with
passengers or the luggage compartment with
heavy gear, you will probably
recover some capacity for tongue weight on the
rear axle. If you can lift
the tongue of the trailer easily by hand
without a jacking system, you are
probably quite safe. You do want some
tongue weight. If you are planning
on a little two-wheeled trailer,
like what you might carry a waverunner or
motorcycle, you are probably
okay. There are different classes of hitches
depending on the maximum
towing weight. I think Class III is what I have on
my LandRover to pull
my car hauler, a two axle trailer with electric brakes.
A Class II hitch is
probably adequate for pulling a little two-wheeled
trailer.

I have a 1992 Dodge Stealth N/A. According to the

RE: Team3S: Dodge Stealth with T-Roof
I saw a conversion on eBay but
can't remember if it was a T-top. I
think it was a Targa top (entire
section from driver window to passenger
window and from the top of the
windshield to the B-pillar area was
removed). This was on a Stealth but
done as a one-off job. That's the
only one I've ever seen like
that.

Does anyone know if the
Dodge Stealth RT ever was delivered with a
T-Roof (sililar to the Nissan 300
ZX).
If not to the US market, maybe to another export marked that had
a
demand for such a "configuration" ... I would also be interested to
hear
if anyone has ever seen a T-Roof conversion done on a Stealth RT
?

Subject: Team3S: Clutch
Question
I have a low disengagement point on a RT TT. I have not
experienced any
shifting problems but I do not drive it very often. My
two daughters and I
bought the car together and I can't pry them out for my
turn. The engage
point is steady but has dropped to 1 inch from
floor. I put in a new clutch
and bearing which had no effect on
the pedal travel, but needed to be done
anyway. I have searched the
historical files of 3S and have found many
similar problems and many
solutions which did not appear to work to solve
the problem. Pumping up
the clutch does not change the engage point. Have
bled it a couple of
times and it helps for a day or two, then back to the
floor it goes. I
am guessing a master cyl but would like a little support
in diagnosis before
expense and labor.
Car is stock, 116K miles, and was run hard by previous
owner, judging by
lack of care and cleanliness when I bought it several years
ago. Engine
does not leak or blow smoke except at initial mash of pedal
when turbos
start to come on. I believe that is the rich condition I
have read about in
the search files. Very little oil in PCV lines to
indicate worn rings.
All help and advice is appreciated, questions
welcome.
Thanks

Subject: Team3S: Sway Bar
Bushings - Could this put my knock to rest?
As you guys might know from
my previous e-mails, I had my contol arms and
struts replaced 2 weeks ago,
but I was still getting a small knock from the
front end. I put it up
last night and after about 1 hour of checking
around, I found play in my sway
bar bushings.
Could this be the cause of the small knock coming from my
front end, and are
these bushings a "dealer only" item
I would really
really appreciate some input, i think I might be getting
close, but you guys
are the pros.

P.S. - I hate diagnosing
suspension.

If your sway bar moves around too
much in the brackets, it could make a
knocking noise when it contacts the
brackets.
I don't know of any aftermarket bushings that are made for the
stock
suspension components. The Mitsubishi part number for the front
sway bar
bushings for FWD DOHC models (all years) is MB573836 and is $3.50
from
www.mitsupartsdirect.com. You
may be able to find it elsewhere.
Another option is to get upgraded sway
bars while you're in there. They
have polyurethane bushings, which
should be more durable than the stock
rubber ones. Take a look
here:

I took out the TPS but I don't
want to break it trying what Jim suggested.
When I turn it by hand its almost
like I can feel it hitting flat spots
along the way back to the stop position
? If I do break it where is the best
place to get one ( no hurry ) and about
how much will it run me?

RE: Team3S: RE: 3S-Racers: Please help me find the antiroll senso r in

yes, in yet another fit of ignorance, I used the generic name
rather than
the proper nomenclature. The steering angular velocity
sensor is what
triggers the antiroll action by the ECS.

Is the "the antiroll sensor" the same as the "Steering Angular
Velocity"?
