I got one from a joint in Monroe Wa. hey ar still avialable or should be. don't try to save an old one they are old.

Nope you lose, it is one of the first done with the lift kit.

I can fell it through the steering wheel. 2" lift Zap's old '85 the blue one we checked the ball joints and elated parts can find nothing loose, but when hitting bumps in the road it feels like the whole thing is falling apart. ?

I one replaced the boots and re-greased the joints 1500 miles later they were shot again, once a boot rips, junk get in the joint and it loses material, my opinion is replace the axle, it is the same amount of labor.

The other guy from Montana is giving you sound advise.

Movement in and out, free play, it handles nice and solid, no slop you might call it tail wag in some instance on the road and wind, '85 Brat.

Finally changed it, feels pretty solid on the road now.

The power is down on 85 brat I thought it was the fuel I used, but I can hear static on a radio station that is weak. Does anyone know If you can hear this when the ignition wires break down? It wasn't there before.

I drove about 100 last Saturday and I had to get some gas. Usually I don't buy Sinclair, but it was the closest, then my power on the 50 mls back was down. Asked a Friend and he said it happened one time on his bike so he doesn't buy the stuff no more

Ok, listen up you are not going to believe this, I've had choppy steering for a while and when turning sharp right backing into park. I lifted the front off the ground a while back and all kinda noise moving the wheels back and forth, I posted a thread on that awhile back. I have a '85 3" lifted Brat. Well it turns out the washer bottle bolt coming through the fender well was interfering with the top spring pad of the strut, so if you have a lifted outfit you best check it. What a difference it makes in ride and handling. I think I wasted a little clutch over the thing too. I ground it down for clearance but ya might be able to washer it from the engine compartment, out.

The mount itself Or those bushings?

1985 brat, and what do you mean?

Anybody got any Idea and detail about the strut bearing? just had a guy take mine apart and he says there was just two bushings in there cleaned 'em and it is worse than before. is the a bearing in the mount itself? cause I have a breakdown in Chilton and see no bearing either.

I think you're Nuts I didn't pay no 50 bucks for a cable.

I kinda remmember something like that when I first bought my "85 Brat I just bought a new cable. Wa-La
