I replaced the head gasket on my 96 4 wheel drive Tracker 4 door 1.6 is the engine size. When I removed the intake manifold and fuel rail there were 2 hoses on the manifold, one goes to the fuel rail

Hi Rich the best way to determine what hose is the fuel feed is to disconnect the hoses and place the ends in a container or empty bottle and switch the ignition on for a few seconds and then see which one supplys fuel or the other cause could be it needs time to regain fuel pressure since ir was disconnected.
Hope this helps

Shold i need a lowering hangers to lower my car or should it only be shackles?

old post. this car is coil spring car on all 4 corners all are. 89 to 2004 and newer. so are sidekicks and Vitara's . same car. so why not just ask how to lower coil spring cars and not guess at parts name, they sell kits for this and are not cheap. why have low rider 4wd, odd that. The only way to do that is shorter springs, the car body fits on a real A frame,. so the body can not be lowered ever. nor can a frame, only the suspension can be lowered. only samurai cars (jimny) are easy to lower with leaf spring mods. see? (apples and oranges different they are) in the old days, kid would , TORCH the springs on coil spring cars. and as the coils got red hot, the car settled, and the guy on the oxy torch yells over to owner , this low enough? fun to watch , no fun to drive,

Speedometer makes noise when cold. how do I lubricate where the cable and speedometer connect?

old post http://www.fixkick.com/sensors/speedo/unsafe-at-any-speed.html#noise well , if the head makes noise its sure is not the cable. 99% sure. use $5 stethoscope to cluster face, some needles scream. hear that , as is common, its the ***** scream, of IM AT END OF MY LIFE, (needle bushing shot) btw no speedo shops in usa will touch this cluster, not one. the cable can vibrate, and make a weak sound but if rusted, inside, rust can cause any sound it wants. thank about that. but will be in the cable not the head. do not put grease in the rear of the head, it will migrate in to the head and wreck it. use a new cable, it has non migratory grease inside. "special it is" the last one i did, had to buy 3 used heads to make one good one. good luck on car this old, finding past that work. both suzuki and geo no longer sells heads. so.....
