Interesting. I think it's an early W body thing and dependent on whether it's a sedan, coupe, or convertible, (Cutlass line of course). I think the newer cars maybe starting in 94 on...again, depending on body style, they just got a combination of those items.
55trucker would know I bet.
Yes, those figure 8 shaped springs cushioning the lateral links. My `94 3100 CS only has these aux. springs while my `95 LQ1 Vert and TGP only have a rear sway bar. I thought it was one or the other and the two parts were not installed together. They must help "soften" the handling in the back in a way to give a smoother feel, at least thats the impression I feel when driving the `94 CS and TGP.
Hello and yes, the pwr window motor and regulator are one unit. They are riveted in from factory. You'll need to drill them out and I slid the whole assembly out thru the door cavity. I didn't have to remove the door glass. I moved the regulator or lift arm for the glass thru one end of the glass channel to remove it and left the glass in the door.
I have the same thing happening on my Lincoln but not other cars. Its slowly turning the steering wheel and parts of the door cards a pinkish, lavender color from the light grey it should be too. I keep a reflector screen in the windshield so most of the interior stays in the shade. So I`m not 100% convinced its just the sun causing it.
A similar thing is happening with a firebird where a black tar like substance is building up inside several electrical connectors in the engine bay like the big firewall C100.
