Hi everyone, me again with my stubborn girl.. 2 main problems rn:
Front windows didn't work from the day i got the car, tried all sorts of stuff (window motors, fixed all the broken and almost broken wires in door jams, switches...), and then, one day they just started working. Both of them... until passenger (left) side decided to make a krrrr noise and slowly drop down... took off the door card and seen the window regukator plastic thingy had broken and twisted up the wires.. so I just basically broke it a little but more so I could free up the window and pull it back up. The car is a 2005, so the metal panel in the door is rivetted 🙄. I can drill it out and change it by myself, but does the regulator mechanism fit from an older model? Are the mounting holes in the same places? I can find it online but it isn't specified for which one it is ( it just says from '99 to '07) And can it be put back together with screws or smth?
My other problem is with the front suspension. I recently changed the front right shock, bearing, both ARB bushes and end links (rods, stabilisers, however they are called in English) The car now pulls just slightly to the right and the steering wheel is a bit to the right, about 15 degrees or so. Nothing strange there, alignment is off, as expected. But! When I drive it a bit harder the steering wheel moves to like 45 degreees to the right from center, and the car pulls a bit more. After driving lightly for a bit it goes back. Also when accelerating hard (1st, 2nd) it pulls to the right, when letting off the gas it pulls to the left. Is there something loose or could an alignment fix that? I don't have access to a lift/hoist, doing all the work on the parking lot, so any suggestion is well welcome.
Also, when the CV joint is making a noise when turning left, which side should it be? 😅
Thanks in advance!
