Bolt on Catalytic Converters have always been readily available but because of the high cost, most people would opt to go to a muffler shop to get one fitted and welded on. Since labor has gone thru the roof, I’m opting for a bolt on Cat instead of going to a muffler shop.

Own a 91 Honda Civic Si (1.6L) and looking for a bolt on Catalytic Converter. Where can I buy one? Rock A currently does not offer any CARB converters for my car Any advice is greatly appreciated

Own a 2002 Silverado 5.3L (LT) 2wd with 494k miles and it's time to replace the front calipers. Genuine front calipers are still available thru several online GM parts stores (without a bracket option). When using my Vin#, I'm getting part#'s 19331022 and 19331021. Not sure if these part numbers...

Does not burn oil

Own a 2005 w211 e320 CDI. Looking for an engine oil that meets Mercedes Benz oil spec. Mobil 1 Formula ESP 5w-40 is no longer available. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated

Based on responses, I think Dexcool is the way to go for now. Thanks for the recommendations.

Flushing out the coolant on my 2002 Silverado, 5.3L. Who makes a decent coolant/antifreeze for our 5.3L Silverados? Any recommendation is greatly appreciated.

It was the drive shaft and they also had to do some "re-work" on the differential. Vibration is gone

The vibration/shudder is more pronounced when accelerating at a stop and while driving and accelerating. If the pedal position stays at a certain position (speed) lets say 60mph, and you dont move from that speed, there is no vibration until you depress the pedal to increase speed. Also, if...

Recently replaced worn steering and suspension components on our truck with 480k plus miles. I was hoping that by replacing many of these worn suspension components, all of the irks and quirks (VIBRATIONS) would go away. The rack and pinion was shot, the front upper and lower control arm...

While parked and idling, I can hear/feel a slight “clunk” when turning the steering wheel all the way counter clockwise. Not sure what might be clunking. Could the caster be so off that this could cause something to clunk?

I replaced the upper and lower control arms (with ball joints), hub and bearings, sway bar links, rack and pinion (new by Maval) with new tie rod ends, and I still can't figure out why my steering wheel, after turning to either extreme, all the way clockwise or all the way counter clockwise, the...

Own a 2002 Chevy Silverado 5.3L (LT, RWD) and trying to figure out the correct part numbers for U-Joints and Carrier Bearing to my trucks driveshaft. I provided the the vin# 21132497 (last 8) to the dealer and the part# provided for the U-joints was 21132497, and part# 23104840 for the Carrier...

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...
