I'm not sure if this is the same code but I was getting 0104 for malfunctioning VSS. I replaced the VSS but the code came back. Tried resetting the ECU multiple times.

It started after I replaced the LCAs about a month ago; but only near the right wheel in extreme left turns. Today though it did it for about...

yeah... I'm positive I'm putting the bearing in correctly. It sits flush against the perch (upper spring seat), then the lip fits up inside the mount. The only thing that makes sense to me is...

Yep. The one on the right was in the car for 3 months. The left for 6 to 8 months.

I guess so. NTB just said "right" mount. I checked the FSM... I presume they mean the one up by the timing chain. But I'll confirm when i pick the car up.

No, I've never changed the rubber seat. Aside from the strut and spring the only things I've changed are the mount (insulator, not the bracket), and the bearing. Everything else is original. ...

If you buy them at the dealership it's simply unplug/plug in (once you have the unit out).

If you get similiar bulbs from radio shack or elsewhere i believe you have to solder the new bulbs in.
