At the last AX I went to I noticed the gas pedal was starting to move from side to side
in a strange unusual manner....still works fine but not confidence inspriring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Took a look at the base where it mounts to the floor... Right side of mounting rubber seems to be pulling away from mounting screw.... Rubber is probably getting old...needs to be repaired or replaced. So has anyone done any repairs to this area before....and if so what did you do and what did you use to perform the repair. If not what are some good sources for a replacement.....or are they even available any more? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thanks |

I just had the same thing happen to me. Rubber at the base was breaking starting at one side. Lasted about a couple of months until it got to the point that I was spending a tremendous amount of time figiting with the pedal, while driving, trying to move it back to center that I felt it was dangerous. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Plus it killed my ability to accelerate properly.
Replace it with a new pedal ASAP. |
