Except it's the front wheels laying down the black strips. Powerful engines and front-wheel drive mean torque steer. Clean it and replace the coolant. The layout and visibility of the analog gauges is very good, and the head-up digital display of speed in the bottom of the windshield is not a gimmick, it's an excellent technical innovation and a safety feature that hasn't caught on. Despite some body gimmicks it's wonderfully sculpted and sleek yet it's roomy inside.
Its sculptured wide hood flows down toward Pontiac's trademark split grille, smooth fender flares bulge just the right amount, reflector optic headlamps form sharp clear eyes, and big muscular hips make it look ready to pounce. Remove the rear calipers, pads, caliper mounting brakets, and then the rotors. The reason you use higher octane fuel is because the engine that needs it has a higher compression ratio. Support vehicle with jack stands on each side. The passenger side has none of this. The real problem is removing the serpentine belt on the supercharger.

The suspension gobbles quick little chatter-inducing bumps well, although it clearly announces its softness when the twisties get uneven.

In an era when Asian, European and American shapes flow toward neutrality, the Grand Prix is the most American of cars. Summary Pontiac has taken a lot of unfair raps for limited refinement regarding its engineering. AnswerMy 97 grand prix has been doing this for quite some time. We were aware of how tightly the car steered at speed, not how much more effort the steering wheel required.
An information center offers useful data and some gimmicky stuff. I was having to do this yearly. Over-the-shoulder visibility is restricted, however. Remove two caliper bracket bolts with 13mm socket and wrench. Its whiz is restrained, its boost linear.

Its lines are modern, yet evoke memories of the muscle cars of the '60s. If the vehicle begins to run poorly, or your curiosity drives you to solve… Does it in my 98 also. The tensioner pulley does not allow you to remove all of the tension from the belt so you must pry the belt… Raise vehicle with garage jack. The self-dimming rearview mirror, part of the option package, is nice. That's good mileage for 240 horsepower, and one virtue of supercharging. The four-wheel independent suspension uses MacPherson struts and anti-roll bars 30 mm front, 18 mm rear ; the suspension tuning allows a significant amount of jounce at the corners, which you feel in your shoulders.

The effect is a gentle, steady tug from the steering wheel that may lead to wandering if you don't stay on top of it — and it adds to the fun. Remember to do one side at a time. Two cupholders are contained in a wide shared armrest, which folds down and steals the third seat in the rear, while allowing limited access to the trunk. There's a grab handle over each rear door, but unless your passengers' shoulders are double-jointed, they'll be grabbing the front-seat headrests to exit.
