    Anyone heard of Sensen/APX Shock?

    I have installed a set of Sensen shocks about 17,000 miles ago and I am very happy with them. I wanted a good cheap set of shocks and the Sensens were $160 for whole set plus lifetime warranty. I can only compare it to the original OEMs on my car which were completely shot.

I most likely did not tighten it down when I took it off back in October. I changed my air filter back in May with...

    Hey all, Does anybody have any experience with remanufactured Delco power steering pumps? I am leaning towards them since Amazon is selling one with no core charge. The car in question is a 99 Ford Windstar 3.8L. Thanks in advance.

    Anyone willing to cut open my used oil filter?

    Hey all, I will be changing my oil and doing a UOA for the 1st time. I want to cut open the filter but I don't have the tools or time to do it myself. Can I mail my used oil filter to a member here so they can open it up? It will be a Fram filter by the way! Thanks SMB
