About a week ago the passenger side CV joint basically exploded so I had a new axle installed. I'm now wondering whether it would be good preventative maintenance to have the driver's side axle replaced as well or should I leave well enough alone?

I spent a good 4 - 5 hours this morning driving in a Fusion down to the US border and back. I have to say I absolutely love the Fusion and find the 4 cyl more than peppy enough. It just rolls along so smoothly and effortlessly on the highway. I may pickup one of these once I get to Texas...

It would seem my transmission is overfilled from the hot mark on the dipstick by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. I'm not noticing any effects of this considering there are no bubbles on the dipstick and shifting is fine. Last week I had it in the shop for an exhaust leak but when they were driving it...

Went for an alignment today. Mechanic tells me the rear struts on my 2001 Neon are starting to leak. Bounce test and vehicle handling seem fine to me. Generally how long will leaking struts last before I start to notice some serious effects? I'm guessing they are not leaking too bad right now...

The trip: Rouyn-Noranda, QC to San Antonio, TX... about 2000 miles. The vehicle: 2001 Dodge Neon with about 120,000 miles. The maintenance: Over the past 2 years just about everything on this vehicle has been looked at twice and any maintenance required was done. What I am debating right now...

So which automotive company is in big trouble? I hear the chorus saying.... TOYOTA "The car company that is off to the worst start of 2010 isn't Toyota. It's Chrysler Group. " http://money.cnn.com/2010/03/10/news/com...=yes&hpt=T1

http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/09/autos/honda_recall_airbag/index.htm?hpt=C2 Partial quote from link... "Honda said the driver's airbag inflators in these certain vehicles may expand with too much pressure, which can cause the inflator casing to break and could result in injury or death."

...which one would you purchase? Brand & model. Right now, I'm looking at the Toyota Matrix. Yes, another one of "those" threads.

They seem to be hit or miss these days. Wanted a locking fuel cap for my vehicle and knew they were available just did not have the part number. See the parts guy at the dealership asking for one... gave him the particulars including the VIN. Parts guy says Mopar doesn't have one for the...

I have been running a Canadian Tire "72" for the past coupla years... looking to replace it. The vehicle takes a group 26R size. Sears Diehard Gold not available in that size. Walmart up here only sells the Energizer and Optima. I like the Optima RedTop, but the sizing guide keeps...

Not sure this the best place for this... but it does have to do with maintenance: Best way to clean out a red plastic gas container that has had new coolant stored in it for the last few months? I want to be able to use the container for gas. Perhaps put a little gas in it, swish around...

The vehicle is a 2001 Chrysler Neon with 176,000 kilometers / 110,000 miles on it. It has been driven since new in an area where the roads get plastered with salt during the winter. It is in good shape mechanically with excellent oil analysis results. The body is in pretty good shape...

Hi folks, Perhaps some of you more experienced oil types can help me interpret these results. I've been lurking, reading and learning for a while with recently opening an account on the site. I'm on here reading at least once/day and enjoying it. Some background on the vehicle: I purchased it...

Okay, here is the issue: I have a solution of 50/50 antifreeze & water. I also have a solution of 100% antifreeze. I need to know how much coolant to add to the 50/50 mixture to change it to 60 antifreeze / 40 water. Given 2 cups of the 50/50 mixture I figure will need to add 1/2 cup of...

Vehicle: 2001 Chrysler Neon LE automatic I could see the rubber on the lower edge of my rad cap was starting to deteriorate so... I just picked up a new rad cap from the dealer... part # 4596198. I questioned the parts guy when I noticed this one is rated at 17 lbs compared to my old one that...
