I replaced a seized caliper on my Yaris and when installing the new caliper, pads, etc. I had double of all the disc brake hardware. I ended up using 8 of these little clips on top and bottom of all 4 pads. I noted the pads were pretty tight and hard to move within the caliper but everything...

My 2014 Yaris ride quality is not too good, it's 10 years old with 55k and on the original shocks and struts. I'm in the rust belt and they do not appear to be leaking, but the bracing and some parts of them are getting seriously rusty and need replacement based on that alone. What's out there...

I'm planning on buying a relatively unreliable used car that is in OK condition now but is notorious for developing leaks on a super annoying to replace engine oil related seals/gaskets. The warranty seems to explicitly cover seals and gaskets on the engine. It's $500 with the purchase of the...

See one for sale near me for $17k in NY. Thing looks like it is from the showroom. I need a new car and have owned Crown Vics and Lincoln Town Cars, and my heart is set on a V8 4 door, large sedan. I really don't like the looks of anything but the Devilles, DTS and Ford Panther Platform. I...

Hey all. I've had two Panther Platform cars and my most recent one just got totaled with only 90k on it. I've looked at half a dozen very low mileage Town Cars all across the country. I had a week off from work and drove about 3000 miles looking at some from Facebook marketplace. They were...

NOT my work, but a member on another forum I browse posted this in a oil change threat. Just for reference, I'll share it here. Interesting to note is that the ST is appx $5 cheaper according to the OP, and has a silicone ADBV with similar or identical filter element.

Asking for a family member who's considering buying a 2015 Tundra CrewMax Platinum 5.7L with 150k. Truck was from down south and is spotless underneath. Has 150k miles and is in overall very good condition with new tires and brakes. Personally I would not spend that kind of money on a 150k mi...

Hi all. My 2005 Tundra 4.7L with 350k had the battery light come on a couple times recently. First was a couple weeks ago, then again last night. The light comes on, wipers are really slow when this happens. When I started it this morning, no battery light. Drove in the rain for a bit, parked...

I've been doing a bit of research and am interested in buying a Ford Police Interceptor Sedan (Taurus). Probably one with 60-90k miles. From my research so far, the water pump can fail and is expensive and the PTU (AWD transfer case) needs to have it's oil changed religiously every 30k or else...

Brother is in the market for a newer tundra at the $20k mark. His 05 with 350,000mi is starting to have some rust-related issues which will not be worth fixing at this point. I'm trying to help him out, but don't know much about Tundras besides doing some basic maintenance on some his 1st gen...

My beloved 05 Crown Vic which I've had for years and dumped a lot of money into (lowering coilovers, built rear end with locker) just got totaled! Pretty sad since it only had 91k and I bought it almost brand new from south of the Mason-Dixon line where it was 100% rust free, and brought it back...

I recently inherited a 2014 Yaris. It's gonna become my daily to go to work. It's got 40k miles and I'm wondering if I should replace shocks/springs/suspension parts simply due to age. I've already done a AT fluid/filter change. As well as a dump/fill of coolant, and brake fluid.

3 questions: Yaris caliper seized and trashed a rotor, ended up replacing both fronts (one Raybestos and one Duralast... accidentally stripped the banjo bolt) 1. Is it fine that I have two different calipers on the front? 2. When installing the Raybestos reman, the caliper would not slide...
