Hey guys, where did you buy your parts and around how much should I expect to pay?

Also, did anyone ever figure out how to solve the ABS light problem for sure?

Contact Larry at Import Auto Salvage (Marion, NC).:

Cool, I emailed him, we'll see what he says.

prelude styl · 05-21-2004, 05:41 PM

who's still having problems with thier ABS lights?? I thought that was resolved like.. a billion years ago.

All you need to do is use the 5th gen front ABS sensors and the rear 4g ones... that's it, no biggie.

rybred · 05-21-2004, 06:02 PM

if you get the whole knuckle attached with the caliper and rotor...shouldn't it come with a 5th gen abs sensor???

red92s · 05-21-2004, 07:18 PM

ABS? Whats that?

Cashis · 05-29-2004, 01:08 AM

Do you guys know if the rotors and calipers are good to use or need to be rebuilt on these units from Larry?

4bidden · 05-29-2004, 02:16 AM

He said $350 + shipping. I'll pass.

[SUB[EX] · 05-29-2004, 11:19 AM

did you tell him your other friends got it for 250?

cifer6425 · 09-19-2004, 12:48 AM

bringing it back from the dead.
i got mine from import auto salvage as well. i will not tell you all how much i paid. plus it was a **** load of money to ship them all the way to hawaii as well. enough about all that though.

i am finally getting ready to install mine. and i notice that one of my assemblies is missing a piece or i got an extra piece with the other 3. the piece i am talking about is this one. its the u shape piece up top. where your shock/spring goes through the middle of it. i am assuming i can just use my 4th gens ones as well. although i was curious if everyone else recieved that u piece as well.

thanks.

rybred · 10-25-2004, 04:53 PM

umm...still havn't fixed my abs sensor...but when i look at it...the end of the sensor where it bolts up to the rotor...DOESN'T..have the same bolt pattern...does it matter how it's on there...does the exact position matter for ABS to work?

The "U" piece you described is the Upper Control Arm. And yes, you can use your stock upper control arm from your 4th gen.

cifer6425 · 10-26-2004, 05:14 PM

thank you.
does anyone have a picture of where you need to grind off some? i think it was mentioned in another thread.
thanks.

br3ak3r84 · 10-26-2004, 06:41 PM

What is it that needs "grinding off of"? I'm pretty sure you don't have to grind anything off.

cifer6425 · 10-27-2004, 01:46 AM

ok i guess you are right you dont HAVE to. however, if i sell the car and the next owner loose the washer then he/she will be screwed.

i found the thread where it discuss this...see prelude_styl's thread.

br3ak3r84 · 10-27-2004, 08:14 AM

ohh that's what you're talking about. I avoided that whole problem in general by using 5th gen axles. This way, there's no problems with washers, or grinding, and everything is secure.

UWNTSUM · 10-27-2004, 10:37 AM

so 5th gen base axles fit? Did you use 5th gen axles for both sides? i thought i read somewhere 1 side is too long.

cifer6425 · 10-27-2004, 05:57 PM

oh really so 5th gen axles work fine? almost make since...
how come this is the first i have heard of this simple fix?
thanks!
