[00LeibyRacing]

WOW no respect...
This forum is THEE BEST forum for any Galant problem or upgrades you want to know about..
i have had my galant since 09' and i was never a member until shit started goin badd so I made my account incase i had a question here n there, but by searching the forums with the SEARCH TOOL, or even by skimmin through pages an pages of posts,
i have seen just about everything i need to see, and know what i need to know to fix anything, now its just getting down to it.
TRY LOOKING AROUND A BIT MORE cuz

&& You def. chose the route of getting poked around like a noob

Thank you for the entertainment this evening. I was looking for something to read while I'm up all night with my newborn. You sound like a newborn yourself. What a sin. I don't even have a galant and haven't had one in 5 years and I still come on this ACTIVE forum bc of how great the people are here. Stop whining.

now the montra is "noobs that dont search"

what kinda forum is this where people can be openly attacked like that?

You're wrong. DEAD WRONG. There are Noobs that DO search and they don't have a social issue like you have. You think we attacked you?

Let's break this down......

Your 1st thread post was on Feb. 4th 2012. All 4 issues stated above can be found by google search. However, reading further I see members respond to all your questions

does anyone know the length of inner tie rods on a 1999 galant es 4 cyl?

https://www.thegalantcenter.org/showthread.php?t=51539
Clicked the link and found 2 different tie ends, assuming one was for i4 (13.08) and the other was for the v6 (9.94).

Thank you M-Rod for the info

I'm measuring the Raybestos premium 405-1124 at 13 inches.

Lol wut?

it looks like theirs two different lenghts... any idea wich one i need?

I'll skip the forum is dead/horn isn't working threads because you guys get the picture but this part pissed me off.

Yesterday, 08:21 PM

ok my front end is all F'd up..

1) passanger control arm bushings totally shot
2) both inner tie rods loose "play"
3) wheel bearings may be shot
4) motor mounts may be shot

my question is if someone had to guess whats causing the severe road noise?

Well, if you have front end damages, you'd think your front suspension would be damaged also, right?

i don't get it, your front end is all f'd up but you don't know what is causing the noise? umm, why not fix what you know is broken? the noise will probably go away if everything is working correctly. btw, road noise comes from your tires and the road, is that what you are hearing?

Response #1

1. You can buy control arm bushings @ www.energysuspensionparts.com (99-03 Galant or 00-05 Eclipse)

2. Take it to your alignment shop they can adjust it to factory specs. no need to wear your tires out because of it. Tie rods can be bought on Ebay.com if needed.

3. Your best bet for the wild wind noise comes from one (or both) of your wheel bearings. It may be simpler to just replace the entire hub assembly since it comes with new hubs and studs. Find them on Ebay.com Wind noise can also be produced from damaged tires get it wheel balanced and inspected from an authorized tire shop.

4. If at a dead stop and the motor shakes violently and minimize shaking when on nuetral gear, your motor mount is most likely needs replacement. If not, then it may not be the case.

BTW, I did this by using google and the TGC search function within 10 minutes. You're welcome.

Response # 2 I answered each and every part of your questions with detail of where to find it and found the possible culprit (#3)

did you read my post?

out of all those... what most likely is causing the road noise?

Yes I did read your post and yes I did answer your question(s)

has anyone ever experienced wild road noise due to worn control arm bushings?

lol seriously?

everything on that list can cause road noise, if u know its fucked up, why u gonna risk ur front suspension failing on you and causing an accident, if ur passenger side bushings are shot, replace them, if ur tie rods have play, it would definitely fail and cause u to lose control of your car....if the wheel bearings may be shot, lift the car and spin ur wheels, if the bearings are shot u will hear it and as far as the motor mounts go, they should be changed regardless before u attempt to diagnose any issues on ur car

Response #3 (which was the same response as #1 & 2)

------
To sum it up, nobody attacked you. People tend to worry when someone drives an ill maintained car for a long period of time especially when they mentioned about in an earlier thread. Before this forum came crashing down on you weren't you the one that said this forum is dead?

I've seen enough people like you and their cars all end at the same place: the junkyard. And you know who pulls apart those cars and use it for the greater good? I thought so.....

i vote we give him a chance to redeem himself and not act like a douche

Nah he doesnt deserve it.

This thread proves that TGC is alive... but I still won't help noobs who don't search. :D

i second that. I searched and searched and read and learned and came a long way. I don't think I was spoon fed before. I might have posted few noob questions but nothing retarded with answers all over the boards.

Try club3g.

they will eat him alive there since they won't tolerate crap like this. He would've banned the minute he posted this thread.

I was bored too and found this and read every post. It was quiet entertaining lol. Has it been 5 years already??

[RedGalant2k1]

1) so i have all these problems with the car.. i had a couple of my questions answered today...but you....redgalant2k1 decided that i "didnt want the answers" must be nice to make judgments like that without having to base them off reality.

2) dude without and 8th gen answered my question... i said thank you.. and mentioned that there were 22 views and not one person with an 8th gen answered me... then slowly people started twisting it to i was "complaining" that dude didnt have an 8th gen..

3) ok..16 comments and 150 views..... how about my thread where i was about to order inner tie rods but i needed the length? did everybody flock to post in that thread??

1) You really need to learn self restraint before you say something you shouldn't have. I believe members that have actually had faith in TGC and helped hundreds of you ungrateful newbs like you.

2) That 'dude without an 8th gen' has (has he has said himself several times in this thread), owned more Galants in his lifetime that you will own cars. To my knowledge, which is extensive as I've been with TGC since the beginning, I don't recall any other person ever owning more Galants.

3) Not everyone sufficiently knowledgeable enough to answer mechanical related questions, so why would you have some sort of expectation that that thread would be more active than this one? (That's besides the point that one of the more knowledgeable members answered you in that thread).

4) Eventually you will find out the world doesn't revolve around you, TGC certainly doesn't. It was around before you had a hissy fit, and will be around long after you have finally grown up.

[rowdyprouty]

BANHAMMER! he sounds like an idiot..

^ this is hilarious!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. What a whiny, self-entitled doucher. I love my TGC family, never personally met any of you but I have read /learned much on here and have so much respect for all if you.

How did I miss this as it happened?

@ 1999ES: LOL!!!

Worked on Chevy's Beemers and Bikes but can't find the horn!! WTF!
Did you check the trunk? Perhaps inside the right rear tire!


LMAO at Dion! "Never seen a fish jump into a frying pan"

Very true!
A lot of members pm me questions about something and I always reply back. If I don't think I have the answer or don't think its been covered, I'll tell them to ask The board in the correct topic. This works and I definitely don't mind helping where I can.

[jubeiaire]

wow i missed this whole thing.

I was out working on my car


But now i wanna whine too cause i have been calling and texting members ....but Deeznuts hasnt answered ALL my calls and text some shit to do with busy at work and boss wont let him be on phone some bullshit like that; so ima start a thread about putting work and personal life before members questions. Just fucking RUDE Deeznuts get your priorities straight and answer ALL my calls IMMEDIATLY.

ROB! <3

OP would poo himself if my Honda owning self answered one of his questions.

Like I said though, this guy is clearly not on other forums. If he thinks this place is hard on n00bs, he has never been on a big forum. C3G is still a cakewalk, Zilvia, Honda-Tech, etc. would tear him a new hole many times over.
