    I live at 8400 feet in the Colorado Rockies.... The kids and wife all have AWD Subarus of various vintages. My old car was a FWD civic with chains in the trunk. These days my winter car is a Dodge Ram 2500 V10 4x4 with siped mudders and chains. I need the V-Bar chains to due to the snow plow. Zdisease

    I live at the entrance to a small Sub-Division. We have dirt roads around here.... When the neighbors get to driving too fast I dig "water diversion" ditches across the road. If the technique turn to driving even faster, I make the ditches wider. If you drive slow it's just a slight dip. At about 40 the car comes off the ground. Usually this scares the neighbors into taking it easy. Kind of fun to watch too... Zdisease
  11. Check the grounds on the bulbs ..... If you have a multi-meter check for voltage...

    "I know for sure the calipers are installed correctly (Bleeder screw on top)" Bleeder valve should be on the bottom of the Caliper. Jay
