I finally took my wheels to a tire shop and had them mount my new tires. (BFG Radial T/A's.) White letters out. The car looks nicer now. The old rubber wasn't fit for the test drives around my parking lot. That one wheel that I finally freed the lug nut on really did stick to the hub. A squirt of "Deep Creep" and a few taps of a hammer broke it free. The tire shop had a helluva time getting my rotted valve stems out. The good news is, the wheel that I freed is the one at the angle drive so I intend to check that out tomorrow. I still have one final wheel to break free. Ugh. Back on the subject of my vacuum leaks, how does one check for them at the A/C mode switch? By ear, or do you squirt stuff in there or what? The rough idle and sneezing is bugging the crap out of me. --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "content22207" <brobertson@xxxx> wrote: > Would be surprised if angle drive makes enough noise to be heard > inside passenger compartment.
