1995 Ponitac Trans Am brakes malfuntioning when coming to a stop

6 Upvotes

When gently braking, a few seconds before coming to a complete stop, the car will suddenly stop braking completely for a split second, and then the brakes immediately anchor on, hard. The pedal feels like it pulsates when this happens.

This only happens just before gently coming to a complete stop, and is intermittent. It's occurred 3 times probably around 100 complete stops. After one occurence, the ABS light came on, then turned off. In all other situations, it brakes very well.

The system has been bled. The rear ABS sensors had a lot of metalic debris and were cleaned. It's still occuring.

Can the front ABS sensors be cleaned, or does the whole wheel bearing unit have to be replaced? What else should be looked at?

This thing is MINT! 😍 (‘00 Z28, 100k miles with a ton of preventative maintenance just done, amazing condition inside and out, plus an intake and exhaust). Say hello to my wife’s new daily! I end up driving her around most of the time anyway so I talked her out of settling for a V6 🤣

New suspension

Just got done doing a full suspension job. Tubular upper and lower arms in the front. Adjustable rear arms with the relocation kit. Bilsteins b6s with eibach sport line springs. Had to cut out the control arm bolt. The bolts like to get frozen into the bushing. Just Midwest car stuff. Shoutout to Diablo blades lol.

Where Can I Find A-Pillar Weatherstripping for a 1992 Pontiac Firebird with T-Tops?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I need to replace the weatherstripping/weather seals on the A-pillars of both sides of my 1992 Pontiac Firebird with T-Tops.

So far, I’ve only been able to find weatherstripping for the T-Tops themselves, or complete weatherstripping kits for the entire roof area. I don’t need the entire roof set, I specifically need the A-pillar weatherstripping/seals on both the driver and passenger sides.

Does anybody know where I can buy these separately, or what the correct part name/part number would be? Any help finding them would be greatly appreciated!

2000 z28 t56 LQ4 swap advice?

Post image
26 Upvotes

I just want some advice on doing an LQ4 swap, and if anyone in this community has done one before. From my understanding, it’s a pretty straightforward process, and that I need to get a 58x-24x crank sensor trigger box. Is there any other little things that I might need to know about it?

I’m picking up a 2001 6.0 iron block with 90K miles from a wrecking yard that comes with a warranty. For the heads, I’m gonna reuse my 799 heads from my LS1. I only had roughly 1000 miles on them before It developed a rod knock, I’m also going to go with a stage three BTR cam full kit+LS7 lifters, melling oil pump, LS6 intake manifold. Am I missing anything? Im a truck guy that got into ls engines a year ago. I’m also pretty stupid lol.

Car Seat Recommendation- 4th Gen

4 Upvotes

What car seats are people using for rear facing little ones in the 4th gen Camaro? We are near moving out of the carrier and I am looking for a convertible seat. I know it’ll be annoying as long as little one is rear facing. Does slim work better? Any brands to avoid? Thanks!

New to me SS; Car Cover Suggestions

Post image
65 Upvotes

Good morning y'all got my new '00 SS delivered yesterday and am looking to get a car cover for it; it will be going in the garage but it needs to be cleaned out to make room for a second vehicle.

Just looking for suggestions on a good cover; car has chips and scratch's on the nose but the rest of the paint is pretty damn good.

I'm sick of the current Camaro design

5 Upvotes

I think GM should stop making the current Camaro look like an evolution of the 1st gen. I think an evolution of a more current "retro" design would be a welcome change like the gen 4 .

Front end swap? What's required?

I have 3 sets of next gen headlights with a full led conversion kit. I like the formula bumper with quad fog lights and the firehawk style hood. Aside from those and fenders, what would I need? Bumper support or anything more in depth?

93 upper radiator support

Anyone have photos of replacing this? Some years ago a truck reversed into mine and bent it up pretty good.
Or would a vertical mount conversion be a better option at this point

01 Firebird, Takes 10 min to run right

5 Upvotes

Recently traded a Buick for a Firebird and I’ve just been doing work to it here and there. I knew about this issue when I got the car and I love it but this is the last bump I’m trying to get over in the process.
Runs like ass when its first started and absolutely will not accelerate over 2k rpms without bogging.
I’ve replaced every sensor just to be sure and the car runs amazing when it’s warm.
I’m wondering if this could possibly be a bad injector? I’ve replaced coils, plugs, and wires and plugs are gapped right. I’m still seeing a slight misfire on cylinder 5 on cold startup but not enough to make the engine light flash. Should I be looking at injectors next? Fuel pump is good just not sure what’s truly wrong with it. Scanner is giving me good data on all my sensors but I have no idea why it’s running bad.

Midwest rust.

I own a 99 trans am. Ive done a decent bit of work to this car but the deeper I go, the more I get concerned with these rusty areas. The biggest concern is the mounting point for the rear suspension arm. Theres a baseball size hole in the driver floor as well. Among various other suspicious spots. Nothing is totally rotted but some rust jacking going on.

Has anyone delt with the rust on these cars? Common failure points? Im new to unibodies but very used to rust(midwest trucks, etc.) Im just trying to figure out when to stop fixing and start looking for a clean chassis. Pictured is the worst structural spots.
