Of all the shade tree repairs I've done on my various TC's (brake jobs, cover gaskets, odometer gears), replacing the wiper bushings was the TOUGHEST! The bushings are cheap and readily available, but pay someone else to do the job.

Not sure if this is everything, but mine has the sound system booklet and cassette, air bag tri-fold glossy, top operation & storage booklet, customer arbitration board booklet, Michelin tire warranty booklet, owner name change form, owner's plaque form & envelope and a crystal key. My California car has a California Air Resources Board booklet. There is also a very classy pen & pencil set, but I'm not sure if this was a Chrysler item or TC specific.

While the agenda has some topics I am very interested in, my wife has some medical appointments scheduled during that time, so obviously my priorities are here.

I replaced original, leaking front struts with KYBs on one of my 16v cars. Even though the rears were also original I left them in as they did not SEEM to be exhibiting any signs of undue wear. This was a mistake as under spirited driving the rear tires rubbed. If you go the same route, no pun intended, be prepared to also do the rears. Anyone interested in track/autocross use should go to coilovers which work very well, but are not worth the extra $ for street use.

Thoroughly enjoyed your narrative! Good thing you had the presence of mind not to panic. Years ago I looked at a TC that was for sale at a reasonable price about 90 miles away. I met the owner at his storage facility and since it looked like a heavy rain was coming I took the car for a drive before examining it. The TC drove fine so we parked it back in his space and I began checking it over and under. When I poked at a small nest by the accumulator, a bunch of black widow spiders scurried out! I hope both he, and you, have found a different place to keep your car.

Worn bearings in the strut bearing plate can also cause that phenomenon.

I've been on the forum for years. Suddenly I cannot reply to a topic. I can start a new topic, however. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks - Nile

Sorry to start a new topic, but I was not able to post this as a reply to Reeper. I just replaced the outer left side cv boot on my 1990 16V car with a NAPA part which fit perfectly: 686-2285. I think both years are the same but I'm not sure.

Now let's hope I can back it up!

When the speedo was not working, did the car run poorly and then run fine when it started working?

Before doing that make sure the top is NOT latched at the windshield. Run the mechanism at the rear as you normally would, then latch at the windshield.
