It sounds like it's coming from the the righ rear strut. I had the car inspected when I had the struts replaced and the shop said everything is fine. Could it be the sway bar links?

I drive a 1997 GTP and have recently noticed a slight vibration in my front nd after completed work on it. I have had new tires, new rotors, new tie-rods, new passenger hub & axle passenger side all put on in the last month and now I can feel a slight vibration in the front end when I get up to about 65-75mph on the highway. I did not have this problem after the tires, tie-rods and rotors were replaced and couple weeks later after the new hub and axle was installed now I have the vibration. What could possibly be causing this vibration. It has never had a vibration prior to getting all theparts replaced.

I'm pretty excited to learn so many good things!

I bought the ceramic Duralast Gold pads and new rotors for my front brakes, I was told they should hold up very well!!! The back brakes will prolly be good until spring! I had Raybestos brake pads previously but told what I got should be much better! I had a family friend do my breaks so I definately feel he is telling the truth! I found out I need a Control Arm bushings which is causing the clunking noise I have been experiencing...which again he is not trying to make money off cuz he said my warranty will cover!

They turn on almost immediatly after I start my car is the temp outside is above 42 Degrees F. Once the lights are off I have no ABS or traction control. So far I've replaced the front two wheel hubs twice and sent my EBTCM to modulemasters for refurb. Does anyone have any other ideas? I've cleaned the wheels, replaced the front brakes, tires, and been to several (four) mechanics and a stealership.

I just want to see what the difference is. I had to replace my drivers side sway bar end link and was wondering what the difference was between those generations. I'm looking to upgrade my sway bars with the GMPP kit and I know it requires the older control arms. I'm just looking for "why."

I replaced the front strut mounts and bearing plates, got zzp pogo washers, and cut the front bumpstops. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with my problems.

I had heard of people having acceleration vibration w/ lowering springs but this is TERRIBLE. It feels like my tires are squares...

The springs are Springtech, and they lowered it approximately 1.75" in the front and probably an inch in the rear. I already tried shorter dog bones and it seemed like it did nothing.

I'm all out of ideas or where to go from here. I know the "vinny" spacers would help...but I have a hard time believing it should be THIS bad. ]]> Brakes/Suspension/Chassis realdiehl http://www.grandprixforums.net/terrible-acceleration-vibration-lowering-springs-35792.html http://www.grandprixforums.net/brake-pedal-very-soft-35757.html Sat, 28 Aug 2010 02:01:49 GMT I just wanted an interesting title.

Anyone familiar with early generation ABS? Delco I/II or something like that. Specifically 1990 GP STE (along w/ other GM's of same vintage.
Any known places to have Master Cylinder/ABS unit rebuilt/exchanged, etc. Gave up trying to have it repaired 3-4 yrs ago.
At that time Pontiac dealerships wanted $3,400.00 for complete Master Cylinder/Booster/ABS shotgun approach. That, after several futile attemps at individual module/component replacements. That behemouth apparatus has about 2 dozen parts associated with it, and is about the size of a basketball coupled to a football (with a slew of relays attch'd).

Back then, ABS was still new to passenger vehicles. As w/any new technology (then as now), GM sh-canned that version after only 2 production years, apparently.

Other than a small problem of not stopping:th_winking:, the car is in pristine condition. I take that back - it will eventually roll to a stop-
like 30mph-0 in about a city-block.

Any of you GP guys go back that far or familiar w/ possible solution?

It looks like there is a large nut that holds the front rotor onto a spindle, and it has been a while that I have dealt with this type of a rotor set-up. I would iimagine that I will have to loosen the nut, and the bearings for the wheel are within the rotor?

The rotors are warped, and there is still plenty of rotor left so I will have them turned down.
