Hi, all -- I sent this question to a guru, but maybe he's not come down from the mountaintop yet. I humble myself with apology for my impatience. I am but a grasshopper. Not a good name for an Imperial, by the way. I am looking at an '81 that has been sitting for a while. The seller says her mechanic told her it needs something called a "hydraulic support plate". I have never heard of such a beast. She doesn't know the symptom because she never drove the car. What could this be, and is it difficult to install?
