Installed R line on an old Toyota. Too recent to know if they dust much. Seem to need less pressure on the pedal to stop. Rated FF. Had trouble with squealing which mostly went away with using double shims from the old pads. Some slight squeal only in reverse remains. Comes with v shaped springs...

CV boot torn. Reboot? replace axle? What brand? Need advice. 2016 Corolla LE CVT. Torn boot outer R cv axle. CV axle part number 4341002A03. Parts.toyota.com says this part fits 2009-2019 with 1.8 engine with AT and a few with manual trans so maybe someone has experience on similar old...

My early 2000's Odyssey only made it to 70k with frequent atf changes every 10-20k miles only with Z1. The dreaded third gear slipping. Just could not drive it and expect to get anywhere once it got hot. Junk for something so highly praised. No fanboi-ism for me. This was not the only defect of...

Denso 150 3024 from Corolla. Lacks full end caps. Don't see anything unusual. 8700+ miles. Pleats wide near seam. Pleats firm. No holes or tears seen. No debris seen.

If it is 2001 Sable, has either the Vulcan 3.0L or Duratec 3.0L. Could search for a vin decoder to find out which engine and year. Eighth letter or number of the VIN sequence if the vehicle is a passenger car. S: V-6 3.0L DOHC "Duratec 30" or V-8 DOHC SC (Ford GT) U: V-6 3.0L EFI "Vulcan"...

Price higher per quart compared to Costco Kirkland Signature 5 qt 2 pack in store $25 plus tax. Also, transferring and measuring from the big 12 qt. container may cause more spills and contamination. But maybe the ST syn 12 quart box will go on rollback.

Went through this in 2015 with a sub 5 foot person. Found that what an average height person thought was good might be poor for the short person. Including visibility, steering wheel, pedals, instruments, general ability to reach controls. Tried a few models but don't think any are now $8k...

Good room. Small, good city car if you can tolerate lots of noise and uncomfortable ride. Strange front seating position. Fit will beat you up much more than Corolla with ride and noise.

Originally Posted by fdcg27 Why does this old chestnut keep coming up? Honda made one generation of Accords with a sometimes troublesome automatic last seen in 2002 and we still have to hear about it. For the record, the failure rate of this supposedly glass transaxle was around one in ten, so...

Old mid 70's Mopar. Broke coil possibly due to broken coil wire. Do not remember exactly as was decades ago. Also had oil leaking from coil on Honda V6. Still worked but replaced it with wreck salvage unit from Acura TL.

Costco says: You must be the original purchaser of the tires. You must have purchased the tires from Costco Wholesale. You must present the original purchase receipt and tire to a Costco Wholesale tire centre. Even bought at Costco, no tire service of any kind if tires after 60 months from date...

Different studies, different results. IIHS HLDI pub from 2017 for 2014 and equivalent earlier models does not rate Sportage badly. Sportage 4wd better rated than 2wd. https://www.iihs.org/api/datastoredocument/status-report/pdf/52/3 Worst, Hyundai Accent sedan closely followed by Kia Rio...

Thanks for the update. Was looking for where is drain plug and where is fill plug for my Transfer Case for my Mazda Tribute, clone of 2005 Ford Escape 4 cylinder, manual trans, 4 wheel drive. Is Mariner the same drivetrain as mine? Or is yours Auto Trans. Able to find pictures and videos for...

Trying to service the PTU of a new to me 2005 Ford Escape clone with 4wd and Manual Trans. (actually Mazda Tribute). Does PTU (transfer case in Mazda terms) have a drain bolt? Have not found it from looking. Where is the fill bolt? Is the fill bolt the one marked with red arrow in attached...
