Re: Air condition stuck in defrost?
Stuck on defrost is a vacuum leak failure- not a slow leak but a sliced tube, it defaults to defrost since not having that in winter would be the most dangerous condition.[/quote]

Re: smooth ride
Common way to do it is to ask what fits or to take a suspension company's word for it. It just does not work that way. An articulation ramp, a keen eye and some real work like you did is the only way...
