How do I lower my 1993 s10 pickup in the front using lowering keys?

Lowering keys are a common method to lower the front suspension of a 1993 S10 pickup. Here are the general steps to lower the front of your S10 pickup using lowering keys:

Park your truck on a flat, level surface and engage the parking brake.

Loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels.

Use a jack to lift the front of the truck and support it with jack stands. Make sure the jack stands are positioned securely under the frame.

Locate the torsion bar adjustment bolts on the lower control arm of the front suspension.

Use a wrench to loosen the adjustment bolts on both sides of the truck. You may need to spray some penetrating oil on the bolts to help loosen them.

Slide the lowering keys onto the torsion bar and make sure they are seated properly.

Tighten the adjustment bolts back up, being careful not to overtighten them.

Lower the truck back down off the jack stands and remove the jack.

Tighten the lug nuts on the front wheels.

Take the truck for a test drive to make sure the suspension is adjusted properly.

Note: It's important to keep in mind that lowering the front suspension of your truck can affect the alignment, tire wear, and overall ride quality. It's recommended to have a professional alignment performed after lowering the front suspension to ensure safe driving and optimal handling.

Where is the oil pressure sensor lacted on a 1996 s10 2.2 Pickup

How much below 30 is it dropping? Oil pressure when in DRIVE at idle on a hot engine, is NORMAL at around 18 to 20 Psi. The warning lamp does not come on until around 7 Psi.

With that said, the oil pressure switch (for the light) is located on the lower left front of the engine. The fuel pump oil pressure switch and sender (for the gauge and fuel pump operation) is on the lower right front of the engine.

Taking a 93 camaro front clip and installing it on

That is not even close to just bolting right up.If you want a camaro clip in your old truck you should use a clip from a 70 to 81 camaro.The subframes come out easy and are a fairly easy weld in as they are close to the same width as your truck frame.If you are not a skilled welder or fabricator you should just rebuild your truck front end,as this is NOT a job for a novice mechanic.A 93 camaro does not have a removable subframe like an older camaro they just have an engine cradle type frame that bolts up into the camaro not a frame that will work in your truck.

93 chevy pickup won't start unless in neutral

Put the trans in nuetral and see if it starts normal with key. If not, then the ignition swith is suspect. The actual switch is mounted on top of the steering column on the lower end. It is actuated by a rod. the key has no electrical. or your trans linkage needs adjusting. Good luck, Ned-

Front wheels lean in at top

You should have the twin arm suspension. there's just a few things to check. inspect the pivot bushings on your lower torsion rods(from the axle back to the frame), check the upper and lower ball-joints. and last check the wheel bearings.
