I don't wanna start anything, but I think you guys should scrap.


Solve it in true SVX style: see who can get the highest estimate to get the problem REALLY fixed

Mine used to make the same noises, ESPECIALLY over speed bumps...but a local mechanic greased the snot out of it and now it sounds better.

What? On the outside of the O2 sensor that is screwed in the exhaust pipes? Under the SVX? That gets splashed with water and salt and dog piss?

Or do you mean that if the sensor is removed from the exhaust and silicone spray enters the vents on the bulb???

Not any more dirt and sand than leaking engine oil that ends up on the bushings.

Hi Rob,

I have done this. I have talked to Beav about it. I have posted on it.

Come back in 500 miles and let us know if it still works. I really hope it is working for you.

Let us know if your SVX still feels and handles the same at 80 mph with the lubed bushings.

John

Well, I don't know about handling, but I'd have to say it's done wonders for the horrid knock I was experiencing. It's not totally gone, but it's much, much better.

Nope. Worked for about a day, now it's clunking again.

I used silicone, it worked AWESOME for a week, but now its slowly coming back. I think I'm going to try white lithium grease next.
