I regret turning up the boost on my SS/T. Now the front tires seem to be out of sync with the rear tires.

The problem is the wet boiling point of the non-synthetic fluid. Standard turn signal fluid does not have a tolerence able to withstand the demands of the SS's blinker bulbs. Whereas the synthetic blinker fluid is recommended for any temperature range, particularly those of high performance vehicles.

This also is the standards that are followed for muffler bearings.

You really do need those top of the line Ceramic carbonized muffler bearings. They last 10 times longer than the stock bearings. plus there compatible with the adjustment system to change the sound your muffler makes.
