Will be removing the front springs on my 2002 Silverado (5.3L) and need a solid spring compressor that will not fail and send me to the hospital. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated.

Finally installed the new head on my 1991 Honda Civic Si (1.6L, D16A6) and while trying to start the car, I discovered 2 injectors leaking fuel. Was looking at replacing the injector seals only but now I'm thinking that maybe I should replace all 4 injectors. The Genuine Honda Injectors...

Ended up purchasing 2 gallons of the Type 2 Coolant/Antifreeze. While trying to start the car for the first time since I installed the new head, I discovered fuel leaking out of 2 injectors. Now I have to figure that one out.

Reason I ask is because back in the day we always used any coolant that was green for Hondas and now I mostly see blue color coolant/antifreeze. Just wondering if blue coolant/antifreeze is appropriate for the older Hondas.

Own a 1991 Honda Civic Si (1.6L). What is the recommended type of coolant/antifreeze for my Honda. Any input is greatly appreciated

Own a 2002 Silverado 5.3L (1500) 2wd. Looking for solid upper and lower ball joints (front control arms). Anyone know if Mevotech or Moog make good ball joints for GM trucks. I found ball joints by Kryptonite but the lower ball joint that is offered is not the "bolt on" ball joint assembly, it...

My truck has a steering shaft that drops right into the rack and pinion. I think rag joints have splines and I don't see any splines on the steering shaft.

I got one worn ball joint that moves a little so I'm going to replace both then going to check to see if the problem persists. I'm going to go ahead and replace the wheel bearing/ hub assemblies while I'm at it. I have a feeling the Rack & Pinion is the culprit.

The vehicle returns to center The truck returns to center but the steering wheel remains off center. Thee steering wheel remains off center until you turn the wheel sharply in the opposite direction (usually left), then the steering wheel does go pack to its center position after straightening...

Wanted to EDIT my last post but for some reason, I'm not able to anymore. Just wanted to clarify that my original complaint to the alignment shop, after the first test drive by me, was that the steering wheel was not centered and the truck pulled to the right. I mistakenly indicated in my last...

Was out of town and now reading the replies. To recap, the steering wheel would vibrate violently when I would turn the steering wheel too fast while trying to bleed and with the engine on. Ordered another pump. Installed new pump and flushed whatever fluid was in the rack and cooler. BLED...

Ordered a new pump. Bled power steering system again and did not see any improvement. Will stick to the bleed method from before. Add fluid, front wheels up on the air, turn steering left and right, check fluid level, add more fluid accordingly.

I think the pump is shot. Going to try to bleed the system some more while the engine is off and if it doesn't improve, going to have to replace the pump. I still feel I should have bled the system (power steering system) first while the engine was off.

Own a 2002 Silverado 5.3L Just replaced the Power Steering Pump and Rack & Pinion. While front end up on jack stands, I filled the power steering pump before starting truck with the intention to bleed the air out. After starting the truck (engine), I noticed that the power steering fluid...

Going to see if I can get a Rack and Pinion by Maval directly from them. I don't know which auto parts websites to trust anymore. AMZN is absolutely out of the question.
