Sure have a ham fisted junior mechanic over torque the filter and the plug. It's free

Subscribed for years. They are trying a new approach, and I don't like it, so I dropped it. Car and Driver has also gone way downhill.

I get an occasional error message on my 2012 Acura TL that there is a problem with the TPMS. When the originals got, I replaced with new TPMS from the Tire Rack when I bought a new set of tires. But one of my tires has a slow leak. I had it diagnosed, and supposedly fixed as a bead leak...

So much wrong with this question

Which is what precisely?

EPA

I've had similar issues with the Napa website

Update, just drove the car with the new struts. Also had new springs put in. Car rides completely differently. No brake dip, steering much much tighter. Feels like a much newer car.

If I don't have to get under my car I don't have to jack it up, and I save time placing jack stands under it for safety. I have to take my car up to the very limits of the jack's range to get the stands under it, so it always takes a little bit of time to do that right. Then I also have to take...

Well, I guess I have spent too much time on BITOG, because I bought my first SuperTech, not the advanced, not the Euro, just the regular. My thought is that I am going to get a MityVac, and change my oil more often, rather than buying more expensive oil. My car has over 108 k on it. I plan to...

That Corvair!

Had a full sized Bronco that I bought new in 1985 with a 302 and a stick. Loved it. Always kept it stock. In the mid 90s I replaced the shocks with KYBs . They hardly dampened at all and got worse quickly. I dont remember what I replaced them with maybe Gabriel s kept the truck until the body...

I won't be surprised, however, the knowledge that the shocks will work as well as the OEM is worth something to me. Just because KYB may have been the OEM and now is selling replacement struts doesn't mean that the damping will be set correctly. As others have pointed out here, sometimes shocks...

The SH-AWD uses the same rear struts as the FWD TL. The fronts are different AWD to FWD and even more stiff for the AWD with 6MT, of which only a small percentage were made.

Thanks but Monroes are just not going to be in the same league with the factory strut cartridges. This is the TL 6MT--Acura's attempt to compete with the Germans. And I have had bad experience with KYBs. Would only consider factory or Konis.

Update: My indy mech was able to source the struts. The Acura dealer where I bought the car told me they stopped manufacturing the rears, and they were out of stock with the fronts. What am I going to do 100,000 miles from now?

Would be fitting for an Oldsmobile Starfire, made from 1954 to 1980

should have googled some more: here's a video on it from 2014!

I just received some mail from Tire Rack about a new Continental Tire, an upgraded version of the DWS 06 called the Plus. The brochure mentioned an Alignment Verification System. Did a search here and it's only been mentioned once in a thread about winter tires. This seems like a terrific idea...
