Wouldn’t it have been more cost effective to separate the lower ball joint
instead of the struts to remove the axles? Then no need for an alignment
after.
Yes you are correct, that does work. In fact that is how we put this one
back in, from the bottom up. The only problem being lifting the car up to
clear it when coming out. Again, which we did do putting the motor back in.
have you tried lowering the powertrain unit from the bottom? undo the
subframe bolts, steering linkage and top strut mounts? looks like the whole
thing would come out pretty easy.

Looked like that hose wasn’t pushed all the way in the pvc valve.

This motor had 150k on it before it snapped a ring and needed to be
replaced. Otherwise the car has been very reliable, inexpensive, and easy
to fix.
sounds like a lot of noise.
why does it sound so loud?
kinda sounded like i heard a vaccum leak? i always forget to hook the
vaccum hose back up to the booster
are these little cars reliable, i’m about to purchase a 2001 neon
The reason it’s so loud is because the muffler and the catalytic converter
were both gutted. They were replaced as part of this job.
When you say”a ring” you mean piston ring?
