    Vibration under load - Honda Element

    At that low of speed you’re looking at the axles still. Only other thing that comes to mind would be trans mounts. Did you check those? I didn’t experience any vibration but one time on a look over on my Honda accord I found a trans mount completely broken. Like I said, I didn’t experience...

    Powerstop Z36 or DFC Ultimate Duty Pads

    Not that it’s applicable really, but after my experience with dynamic friction / r1 performance (all in the same from what I saw…same part numbers same addresses) I wouldn’t use them again. My pads don’t fit right, they’re a little small, so they clunk back and forth in the front caliper...

    Bumper cover repairs?

    Yeah, I’m not sure but that kind of stuff makes me worry about repairing it on my own and just taking $, plus I already went to a doctor about it. I didn’t expect to be in pain although like I said, the hit was way harder than the damage shows. My water bottle flew out of the cup holder even. By...

    Bumper cover repairs?

    Thanks. You sound knowledgeable. Can you see the bump up where the bumper meets the trunk? That type of damage is repairable? What about the flat black lower portion of the bumper cover that is like flat black unfinished trim plastic. It’s heavily scratched from the license plate of the other...

    Bumper cover repairs?

    Yeah I know. I didn’t even try to get them in the picture. I’m surprised the upward bend at the top of the bumper where it meets the trunk even shows up in a picture.

    Bumper cover repairs?

    It is actually, but I just get $30 a day. I’ll have to see what a minivan would cost to see if it’d be worth it to keep the miles off our van. We do rack up miles faster than we planned lately.

    Bumper cover repairs?

    I’m not so sure there isn’t something underlying. The cover alignment is off now and the clips where it meets the quarter are all broken. I know it doesn’t look like much but crap went flying in my car when I got hit, it hurt and I never imagined the lack of damage I would see when I got out...

    Bumper cover repairs?

    I’d rather something be fixed right the first time than have the hassle and headache of going back, showing what I’m not satisfied with, waiting more and more. That’s all just simply a headache id rather avoid.

    Bumper cover repairs?

    I get 30 days. I could just let it sit, just didn’t know if they say they’re done if I have to be available to pick up right then, which I won’t be if it’s mid week. I’ll just go Wednesday and get the estimate without planning to drop off as I’ll be out of town just a couple days later. Let...

    Bumper cover repairs?

    I wasn’t aware. When I was in a dealership the body shop threw away bumper covers left and right that were barely damaged, and also kept some that were barely damaged (I guess for potential side work or self use). What I don’t get is why they won’t spring for oem parts (if parts are needed)...

    Bumper cover repairs?

    So I got rear ended yesterday in my 2017 Mazda 6. Last time this car was wrecked (into) right after I bought it, they replaced a small piece between the hood and grill and used an oem part (not at fault for that wreck, it was parked…). I’m not at fault for this wreck either (I was stopped at an...

    Sudden fuel line failure. How to repair?

    Was it the nylon line from tank to the hard line to engine? If so it was the fuel filter. I’m sure that union sharkbite type repair was easier, but just replacing the filter may have been needed for maintenance anyway and would’ve solved the problem too. Glad you got it fixed either way though.

    Napa Adaptive One Brake Pads

    I never liked these pads personally. I haven’t used them in years, but when they first came out they’d always try to talk me into them. The counter guys would tell me there’s a special one for the inner pad, a special one for the outer, and they’re guaranteed silent etc etc. They always did look...

    Sudden fuel line failure. How to repair?

    If it is the line off the fuel filter, you can DIY at home. Place a jack under the tank, maybe use a 2x4 or x6 to give the jack a larger point of contact on the tank…unscrew the 2 or 3 bolts that hold the fuel tank straps to the floor of the van, but leave them in 2 threads or so. Lower the...

    Sudden fuel line failure. How to repair?

    Sounds like it’s just your fuel filter. It goes from the pump up towards the driver seat-ish, probably 2.5 feet long line or so. You need to lower the tank to have room to disconnect it from the pump, and you need to know if you have a short or long wheelbase van if this is your problem because...

    Honda K24 timing chain?

    I think if it’s been taken care of, chain stretch on a k24 is not an issue. It’s when they burn oil and aren’t kept topped off, or get sludged up…anything to reduce oil pressure to the chain tensioner in turn causing abnormal chain stretch. Mine went out of time a little over 200k I think...

    Work SHOES? Any recommendations

    I ended up with new balance 857 v3. Theyve shown no signs of wear, worn since February. I bought the 608 v5 at the same time but returned them. They were a lot cheaper, but still didn’t feel like they were built to last nor had the support that the 857 v3s have. New balance customer support...

    Any nonrepeat Hybrid Buyers?

    2022. Not sure where it came from. I’m pretty sure it came into port in Philly? We were fuming mad. Hyundai service and corporate did nothing to help that matter either, although it was pretty easy to get them to throw money at me a few times…it wasn’t easy (impossible) to get them to replace...

    Any nonrepeat Hybrid Buyers?

    I didn’t test drive it. It was covid, cars were selling at a markup…I put $ on this one in transit, it showed up with no notice. Literally showed up on a Saturday so if I didn’t pick it up, it was being sold to someone else. I didn’t get there till late after cleaning up our trade, wasted ton of...
