Expert Answers about Buick Regal


  • Catalytic Converter Recommendation for 1987 Buick Turbo Regal 3.8 liter Turbo
  • For your 1987 Buick Regal T-Type or Grand National we have the Magnaflow catalytic converter # MF93439 which is an exact replacement for the factory cat your Turbo Regal came with. If you have an exhaust system that uses the factory style of exhaust where the cats are this would work well. If you have an aftermarket setup to match your 3 inch downpipe and need something bigger you'd probably have to find an exhaust shop to get you exactly what you need.

  • How to Determine the Wire Functions of a 4-way on a 2002 Buick Regal
  • Most likely you would just use the black wire in place of the yellow wire, but I would recommend you wire by function that way you know exactly what is going to what. If this 4-way is on the vehicle connector I would use a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 and test the functions on the 4-way by having a friend apply the different taillight functions and then use the circuit tester to see which wire has power. Check out the video I attached that shows how to do this. Now to test the...

  • How to Measure Ball Mount Rise for Draw-Tite Sportframe Ball Mount # 3594 on a 2002 Buick Regal
  • Ball mount rise, or drop, is determined by inserting the ball mount into the hitch on your vehicle and measuring from the top of the hitch opening to the top of the ball mount platform. I added a photo showing how the rise and length would be measured on the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 3594. We also have an informational article that explains how to choose the correct ball mount for your application. All Class I and Class II trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for 2011 Buick Regal Towing 850 LB Jetski
  • I have included a link to all of the hitch options for your 2011 Buick Regal. I personally recommend the Curt, # C12115. This hitch is economical, offers bolt-on installation so no drilling or welding required, and with a capacity of 350 lbs for tongue weight and 3500 lbs for towing, would have sufficient capacity to tow the jetski. In addition to the hitch you may also still need the following: Ball Mount # C45017 Pin and Clip # F-4 Hitch Ball # 19258 for 2 inch or # 19256 for 1-7/8...

  • 4-Pole Wiring Harness Installation on 2002 Buick Regal
  • The 4-Pole Wishbone Wiring Harness # A35W42B installs on a trailer and will connect to the mating vehicle harness to power the trailer lights. The double brown wires on this item allow easier connections to the running lights on both sides of a trailer. On your 2002 Buick Regal the 4-pole wiring kit you can use is part # 18252. Kit # 18252 includes a circuit tester to allow you to find the correct wire on the car to splice into each of the wires on the included vehicle-side 4-pole connector....

  • Installing Hardwire Trailer Wiring Harness On 2001 Buick Regal LS
  • Unfortunately there is no plug-in kit available for your 2001 Regal, so to install a trailer wiring harness on your vehicle it will have to be hardwired. I recommend the Draw-Tite 4-Pole Hardwire Kit, part # 18252. I have attached a link to an installation video for this harness on a Century that will be similar. You need to access the wires at the back of the tail lights in the trunk of your Regal. You can use the included circuit tester to identify the correct wires to attach the harness to.

  • How to Pick Out a Hitch Ball for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500, Hitch Recommendation
  • None of the hitch balls we offer are going to have a 6 inch long threaded shank on them. The longest available is 3-3/8 like the part # 63849 that you referenced. If you do not have a hitch on your 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 I think your best option for towing would be to install one. For that I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # 13322. Then to pick out a ball mount to insert into the hitch opening of the hitch you will first need to decide how much rise/drop you need. Check out the...

  • Exhaust Rattling Against Trailer Hitch on a Honda Pilot
  • Exhaust rattling against a trailer hitch is a common occurrence but it is easily fixed. Exhaust pipes and mufflers hang on rubber isolators. The hangers can usually be manipulated to gain more clearance between the exhaust and the hitch. I have included a link to the right that covers the different fixes for this problem.

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • If you're wanting to tow a trailer equipped with electric brakes using your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe (and that's what it sounds like), you'll first need to install a 4-pole trailer connector. If your Santa Fe has the factory tow package, use part # C56332. Or, for vehicles without the tow package, use # C56184. Not sure if you have the tow package or not. You'll then need to choose a brake controller. A proportional controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885 would be an excellent...

  • Can a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Carry an E-Bike on a 2012 Buick Regal
  • We do have a solution for you but unfortunately trunk mount bike racks, like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV that you referenced, only have a weight capacity of 33 lbs per bike. Any trunk mount bike rack that has a higher capacity will not be much higher than that, maybe 35 pounds. If you have an e-Bike then you really need to go with a hitch mount bike rack as your bike probably weighs closer to 50 lbs. For your 2012 Buick Regal I recommend installing the Draw-Tite # 36538 which is a Class...

  • Determining Which Bike Racks Are Compatible with Recessed Curt Hitch C12225 on 1998 Buick Regal
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12225 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 1998 Buick Regal but the receiver portion will sit pretty recessed behind the rear bumper. This means when picking out a bike rack it is important to note the bumper clearance dimension for the particular rack you are looking at. This is indicated by the distance from the hitch pin hole on the shank to the closest part of the bike rack. If you already have the hitch installed I recommend taking...

  • Compatibility of 2004 Buick Regal to Be Dolly Towed On Roadmaster Tow Dolly Behind a Motorhome RV
  • Yes, your 2004 Buick Regal can be dolly towed with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. Your Buick only has a curb weight below 3,500lbs which is below the 4,250lb limit of the Dolly. You will need to lock your steering wheel with a device like The Club Pedal-to-Wheel Vehicle Lock # WICL303RED. This will also help to prevent the chances of your Regal being stolen if it is left on the dolly overnight. Your motorhome will need a electric trailer brake like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2015 Buick Regal GS
  • We carry hitches from two manufacturers, Cequent Performance Products, who manufactures Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite and Curt Manufacturing. In terms of overall build quality and the quality of the finish, the hitches from both companies are pretty equal. I agree with you about the quality of Curt products. That said, the Curt trailer hitch # C12115 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Buick Regal GS. Trimming of the fascia is required for the Impala models, but not for the Regal GS. We don't...
