    Help with 1 wheel out of Alignment

    Got to check it out closer today. It appears to be the LH wheel spindle assembly. Looks like I can get a new one for about $40.

    Help with 1 wheel out of Alignment

    Thanks to all who have replied. I probably will not get to go over to where it is at and look at it until Saturday. The more I look at the PIC the more it looks like the axel to me also. I thought I looked at it closely the other day but obviously not close enough.

    Help with 1 wheel out of Alignment

    Craftsman 917.289272 (YTS4000) Not sure how it happened as it is not my mower but one wheel is way out of alignment. (PIC Below) I have looked at it and do not see anything obviously bent and would like some opinions from some who are probably more experienced than I am before I just go...

    Prestone all makes all models - Disguised Dexcool?

    It is probably OK but I would replace it. Make sure if you do to flush all the old out. I use Peak Conventional Green in my older Chevy and Dodge. I get it at AAP. I think O'Reilly's has a house brand conventional green. The G05 suggestion would be a good choice if you want a longer life fluid.

    Battery charger recommendations ?

    % charge was tested using a conductance tester. The auto's charging system has tested normal by AAP. I did not test the lawn tractor. However after getting the batteries to what I will term as restored they batteries have been in the vehicles for about 8 months with absolutely no problems so it...

    305 V8 water pump

    I believe the 252-718 is their cheaper aftermarket part. The 251-725 is the GM OEM pump. Althought they fit the same applications they are not the same part. I used the 252-718 once in my 350 and it only lasted about a year. I replaced it with a Gates that has been in 2.5 years now with no...

    I am happy with this speed charger . I do not know about longevity yet as I have had it for just under a year but it seems to work well. It has brought back one auto battery and one lawn tractor battery I thought were done. Use code TRT30 for 30% off.

    Alternator problem?

    The toughone reman 90 amp at AAP is $106 and the $120 amp is $118. Order online with a 40 off 100 code (TRT41) to get for $66 or $78 plus tax. I know a lot of people are really down on auto stores remans. I have had good luck with AAPs lifetime remans. I currently have three alternators in...

    Universal anti-freeze as a full fill?

    Exactly what I have done. I think if dexcool is your FF then doing a flush and fill with a dexclone is no issue.

    Question on Brakes

    Another vote for the belt. Unless it is a hard belt to get to I would take it off, start the car, see if noise went away.

    Let's talk accessory drive noise (Tacoma)

    +1 one on preferring the Goodyear Gatorback but I have used Gates and Dayco also based on price and availability and they have all worked well. I believe Napa belts are Gates. I know Goodyear and Dayco both have two lines of belts (Gates may have but not sure) so make sure to get the upper line...
