What are the edge codes on the pads? Usually, Napa brakes are rebranded Raybestos. These scream MAT Roulunds India, the same supplier for Duralast Gold/BrakeBest/WearEver/Bendix and Volvo service parts.

Is this the code you are referring to? Seem like good pads. I typically get Raybestos or any parts store pads so that would be great if they were made by them. These do say on the box made in Mexico and Distributed by Napa Brakes Atlanta Georgia if that can tell you anything. I noticed these don’t have the typical new brake pad scent lol was a little disappointed at that.

I wanted to pad slap the Fusion, but the seized rear caliper humbled me
Everyone keeps recommending Raybestos new calipers and the Element3 pad/rotor combo
So I'll give it a try again
I hope it's less dusty than OE Motorcraft organic pads

Yep - and the AMECA friction code doesn’t begin in DB/BX, which are MAT Holdings. I know Bosch and First Brands(Raybestos) makes pads in Mexico.

Elantra has a suspension clunk. Seems a sway bar endlink is bad.
I will replace both and the bar bushing.
Bought Hyundai OEM from rock auto. As well as moog sway bushings.

I went with moog as they were the only vendor that had a different part number for a Korean made Elantra vs a USA made Elantra.

Does the US/KR made models have a different size bar, or is it a COO/NAFTA thing?

They appear to be the same dimensions so that’s interesting there’s two different part numbers. Is yours made in Korea or US?

Got a check engine light tonight on my 2019 Kia Soul .

Generic obd2 code P04E0. It’s not a Kia code and I couldn’t find any codes on the manufacturer side of my cheap little scanner.

It’s for “Evap system purge control valve 'A' stuck closed”

I loaded the parts cannon without any testing when I saw the OEM purge valve on rock auto for $20 shipped. I didn’t see many videos or info about this code, but the ones I did see fixed it with this part.

Sunsong 3402219 Power Steering Return Hose

Common RockAuto L
They'll either send me a new one, or just refund me the $4

 

[paulo57509]

Received these the other day. I'll measure them to see if they're a standard size.

Looking forward to cleaning off the FIPG from the thermostat housing-to-water pump connection. NOT.

Full parts cannon front and rear suspension refresh, belts, tie rods, couple ignition coils on the 2008 M5

Thought I had an extra o-ring left over from when I did the timing belt on the LS. No dice. No time to wait on shipping so I took the +50 mile round-trip drive to Lexus of Pleasanton and bought two. Now I have an extra that I'll never use.

List: $11.60 ea.
Net: $8.21 ea.
Total +tax = $18.11

Online Pricing = $6.41 ea. (= $12.82 +shipping)...it's a wash. Have the part in-hand that will outlive me.

There was a 2023 RC-F (not a Sport) in the showroom but it was the wrong color (white). There was a lot of new stock on the lot.

Oil pan rusting through on a 2AZ 2005 RAV4, this is theoretically everything I have to touch
Hopefully it all works out

EverStart Maxx Group 35 made by Johnson Controls. Replaces 3 years 10 months old EverStart Maxx 35S also made by Johnson Controls (Manufactured 6/19, installed Sept 07, 2019). So not a bad run at all, but with summer coming up and already near 90-degree Temps, it was time.

Not sure why WM doesn't use -N or -S suffixes anymore.

The new 35 has 640 CCA, old 35S had 550.

Also purchased NOCO Battery Cleaner and NOCO Battery Treatment KIt (which includes Corrosion Preventative and Terminal Protectors).
