I just found a 92 318 and a518 combo for mine. Be a nice upgrade from the TBI i run now. The trans I have now is the 5 speed and I recently rebuilt it as well as a new clutch. If you cant find one, mine may come available this summer or fall...

Reading back, your bump steer is DEFINITELY caused by the booggers and spacers. The little 'ol steering designed for 225/75's just cant absorb the extra force created by the leverage of all that extra girth. haha, girth. The stabilizer will help numb it a bit, but ulimately, they will eat everything, ball joints, tie rods, cv's, split the front diff in two, twice... Thats all with a v6 and 33's on my foreman's old dak

yea I don't do serious offroading.. just play in the mud ... and I got the 5.2 magnum and to be honest most of the time im pulling the jeeps out.. since I have the weight lol

im in northern Ontario... trust me I aint worried about balljoints and so on, ive had the truck 2 years picked it up with 132000 now it has 137300.. so to be honest, when I build the other one this one will probably go back to stock.. I just neeed that man machine the cavalier took away from me ...LOL
