I’ve had decent success using charm dot li for service info, if you don’t find other manuals

Interesting find this weekend when I was replacing trunk lift supports. Found a loose piece of rubber edge/seal, but can’t determine where it came from. It’s 35 inches end to end, which is not a distance on any of the hard edges on my roof panels, at least not at my first poke around. Ideas...

Perhaps a reupholstering will do? Link to thread

Good morning all, interested in determining if some of the sounds I’m hearing are normal XLR behavior or an item I should be digging into. Two sounds in particular: 1. Distinct metal on metal squeaking, usually heard 5-10 seconds after I open or close a door. Usually one single squeak like...

Adding final update, buttoned up the job tonight, got the photo of one new versus the four I removed. Holy smokes.

10440924 is the PN you’re looking for, discontinued…. The various rebuilt ones on rockauto all out of stock too, so I’m guessing that’s the story at all the usual retailers which brought you here.

lol. If anybody at that company knows what an XLR is they’ll ask for money up front :)

Posting more info, as I made an interesting discovery last night. Disconnecting the rear UCA from the chassis (as well as shock, sway bar link, and height sensor) doesn’t get enough clearance to drop the LCA far enough to get the height adjuster out of the spring. There isn’t enough clearance...

That actually makes sense. I ended up a tad high on my fronts, so I’ll be adjusting them down to get within range (based on the physical measurements) and I’d expect by bringing them down slightly the at rest value would come up just a bit. Should bring me right to 2.5.

Circling back to this, got my tech2 back in action and am halfway through the project. Findings so far. Unsurprisingly, mickey is correct: the springs don't sag; my ride height drop was a result of the rubber pads on my adjuster screws being completely gone (and two of my four screws were...

Link to homelink They only list 07+ but the instructions worked for my 06. After you input your car it asks for the manufacturer of your garage door opener er and then provides specific instructions.

That 56 - wow!!! Pics? What’s the story? How does it drive?

Thanks! I looked at that Kent Moore tool for the trim height adjustment but wasn’t sure it would get me the clearance I needed to get the bolt out the whole way. Good to see it worked and I’m surprised my search-Fu didn’t get that thread before but thank you! Ended up being not bad...

Above is front old vs new. Below is one of my rear screws. Check your height adjusters!

Have a replacement set of height adjuster screws to replace the ones on my 06. Found mine were missing the rubber pads entirely, and one of them was even snapped in half! Anyways, I can jack up the spring, and with the shock and sway bar disconnected, I can get reeeeeaaaaaaal close to clearing...
