89GP_SE Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 My GP was pretty good to me Alternator CV joints Sep. Belt Ok is it just the 2 door gps that had this problem. Whenever I opened up the passenger door, you would hear click click, my 89 and my dads 88 both did that, and both on the pass side only.

Addicted To Boost Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Ok is it just the 2 door gps that had this problem. Whenever I opened up the passenger door, you would hear click click, my 89 and my dads 88 both did that, and both on the pass side only. Neither of my GPs do that.

1990lumina Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 My GP was pretty good to me Alternator CV joints Sep. Belt Ok is it just the 2 door gps that had this problem. Whenever I opened up the passenger door, you would hear click click, my 89 and my dads 88 both did that, and both on the pass side only. Handle isn't adjusted right. My Lumina used to do that - I tightened up the linkage behind the handle and it's solid now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
