MJD: Don't write off the MOOG part. MOOG is the company that makes most front end parts for G.M. Chances are that the AC Delco IS the MOOG part. On my way home today I will check out a few of the auto parts stores here. Also, maybe Dewey can check the catalog at work for you. He works at a NAPA store. One way or another, we'll get you sorted. What part of HELL do you live in? That may make a difference for getting parts to you.
thank u mr miket1961 no one ever say that to me before. i m far from home. i need the acdelco no. so i can check with the dealer here if i couldnt find it. then i have to make online order by dhl for my location. i will post some pic of my wagon and some information where i live soon in the welcome forum, as soon as i can. thanks again.
I just had a thought here. How is the rest of the front end? If your tie rod ends, ball joint, and control arm bushings are starting to get bad, I would consider going a whole different way. Performance Suspension Technology in New Jersey, U.S.A. makes front end rebuild kits, and they do have both replacement anti-sway bars as well as all the different bushings. They make both the original replacement rubber as well as the graphite impregnated polyurethane that takes out most, if not all, of the play in the front end of a car. Their kits are quite reasonable for price, and the quality seems impressive to say the least. It may be worth a look. Since most of their business is done over the net, they are quite prepared for overseas shipping as well.
Yup, I was going to recommend PST as well. PS If you go with polygraphite bushings, lube the heck out of them with the supplied lubricant or they will squeak and creak.
1 year a go my steering pump have its throw the steering oil every where. i was use about 33 us oz every weak. i stay like that for about three month untill i found good seal kit and repair the pump. after that i notice that all the driver side bushing for the control arm, ball joint went completely bad. i have to replace it all the driver side only from moog. im runing the car in very low budget. im saving money to come home with my wagon com to america. thanks man this pst is amazing. i was looking for polyurethane. i love to keep the car as stock as i can. i have to replace this because the sway bar start to hit the radiator holder some time. the roads here like hell. goodwilling i will make online order and i will post some picture when i finish. http://www.p-s-t.com/s.nl/it.A/id.7317/.f?sc=12.
The AC Delco part no. is 45G0648 or 45G0648A both should be available still. Oh and the Napa part no. is HB1636 or premium line 265-2174. Happy hunting!
thank you mr Dewey Satellite for your effort. i found the ac45G0648. its was the same bar size. but its narrow to fit in the original bracket. the napa one i think its will fit berfectly. i will decide in two days and will see what ggoing to happen. napa HB1636 or pst POLY95112. thanks all.
finaly after 30 days of waiting and too much money i get the spare part from greate USA. the tail window motor, bolts and the spark plug adapter made in china?????. i lost the window motor 4 years ago now i can use it. i make the order from partstrain.com, its the cheapest price i found in the web. it cost 140$. i buy with the ship cost 342$. it was tooooo much. http://www.flickr.com/photos/110303992@N04/11189327914/in/photostream/ i buy two set of the bushing. one set was open and used before??. no way i will return it. and the manifold exhaust bolt set. one of the set was open and its one bolt down . i buy more than the spare part cost but i tink its worh it for two reason. first the ride on my caprice become quite once again. and i go to talk to office manager of the company, which has applied spares for me. about the missing bolt. we talk for long time he agree to make new order for me. but i thank him and refuse the order. i told him if i didnt get my green card this may. i will mak the order. he told me 'if u want to go to america tell me i know some people i can help you in that'. that words was like a freeze beer. i will wait for the green card and i hope i and my caprice will bee soon with you at hom bros. thanks for every one help me in this problem.
