Just updating…. It was the strut.

I put the spare tire on, but still made same sound. I took brake caliper off and didn't have to move piston. I was just looking for anything that was sticking or uneven wear - cause that is all I'm cable of, just a weekend mechanic. Could it be the rotor wearing in to the bracket...see pic...

08 Camry - Making a womp...womp...womp sound from front tire area. I have a new axle and wheel bearing on front of car. Doesn't shake the whole car but loud enough. No noise when under 10 MPH...or very quiet. Anything to look at before I take the mechanic?

I have a ride on Husqvarna and I would like to change the plug. I don't have the manual and other identifying parts are painted over. Does it matter what type of plug I get and if so, how can I get the correct one?

I just looked at my gas cap and it doesn't have a vent.

Ride on YTH150 - Husqvarna Mowing today and I could feel the rpm's start to lower then I turned off the deck/blade and it took the strain off and went for a bit then stalled out. I got it going again, then same thing. Then wouldn't start. Checked oil, gas and newish battery, terminals were...

I'm doing the brakes on Camry and saw this covering/boot? on the axel? Sorry, I don't know how to identify those. Regardless, does it need to be fixed and how detailed?

What is the coolest thing you ever found? Me... 1. Huge Salamander under a rock 2. Really old Boston Garden ticket doing a reno at house 3. Nipex pliers on the road...after railroad track bumps...

Is it worth it to pay a little more for a brand name gas as opposed to "Sav On Gas"? Do the Mobil/Shell etc. add extra additives that would make it worth the extra few cents?

Stainless and no rinse aid. I just feel like by the time you prewash in the sink, then put them in the dishwasher, I could be done with it all and waste of water. My two cents. Again, 2 adults and 4 kids and 4 years later...I guess.

The wife sends me a video on how "easy" it is to clean the dishwasher. So I get after it and oh my lord...couldn't believe the gunk in there. Used sprays, toothbrush, scrubbing everything, took about 2 hrs. This is after 4 years and in a busy house but the kids put everything in there despite me...

I have some silicone dielectric grease...do I just add a dab/does the amount matter?

Here is a pic of the septic top and the electrical. After opening the green top where electrical connections are located, the cover is not sealed on, screws were broken off the four corners. Obviously don't want moisture in there, should I lightly silicone around the top and put the cover on?

Septic is about 5 years old. Weekend the septic alarm went off. Called and tech walked me through manually draining on the panel inside house. Worked, alarm went off and back to automatic on panel. A Tech from septic company was out today and he said the "on" float was potentially faulty. He...

Sorry...my fault on turning over explanation...I was thinking turn over was start. Yes turns over...click click click but doesn't start.

08 Camry. Cranks great but the idle drops, I wait a min then crank..and it won't turn over...just kind of random. Then I will try to time it and old school rev it to see if it catches...doesn't really work but got it to start...just lucky.

Previously posted this issue here. Ended up with both new battery and new alternator. Car worked fine for past two weeks. Then had it out yesterday drove around went to a store came out a few mins later and wouldn't start...lots of click...click...click and would almost start or would start then...

My outdoor hose is 'crusted' on to the spigot. I tried some pb blaster and tried to heat it with a torch to loosen it up. I could probably giver' and muscle it off but I don't want to rip it out of the wall or out of its socket inside. I left it on last year because I couldn't get it off then...

Just driving my bike this morning and in Hull MA there was a fairly big car show. Fun to see all the different cars from old to new. I get a kick out of having a peek despite not really knowing what I'm looking at. Just guessing, must have been 200 ish cars. How big do the shows get? I guess...

Oh probably too much time on my hands...but I can't get my windshield glass clean. If I look at it with a bit of sun glare I can see it looks like faint vertical soap streaks. I have cleaned it with Vinegar, Windex, Dawn and alcohol both inside and out. It does seem to be in the wiper area.
