    2019 Malibu, something wrong with suspension.

    Back again, same knocking noise coming from drivers rear but now It's been verified by an amusement park mechanic that the driver rear isn't the same height as the passenger rear.

    CPU possibly thermal throttling.

    Hey guys, I have found that after playing Oblivion remastered for an extended period (60-90 minutes) the FPS will drop off from 100+ down to 30ish. Seeing as how my CPU reaches the high 90s in temps I'm suspecting the my CPU is thermal throttling. Problem is I've only had this laptop since last...

    packaged rotors - rust during storage?

    I'm back again. Turns out shining a flashlight through the wheel to judge brake pad thickness is a bad idea. I later stuck my fingers between the caliper and rotor and I appear to have like new pads on the front and rear of my car - after ordering new pads and rotors. Do new-in-the-package...
