    Strange noise when making right turns

    I'm experiencing a weird popping sound coming from the rear of my vehicle. It's almost sounds as if a cv axle is bad, but I don't see how that could happen as the rear wheels don't steer. I think it could possibly be a wheel bearing, although its not the typical grinding noise and it happens...

    Under what conditions do tires last the longest

    Let's say you drive 90% highway and 10% city. Would your tires last longer than someone who drives 90% city and 10% highway? It could also be the other way around, but that's why I am asking. Does it even matter? I mean a mile is a mile right?

    dropped a filter on the ground

    I was in Advance and I opened up the box for a Pureone to inspect it, but I dropped it on the ground. I bought it, because it was my fault I dropped it. I only noticed a slight chip in the grip coating around the base of the filter. It doesn't make any rattling noises when I shake it. Do you...

    Have I gone to long without changing my oil?

    2000 impreza in sig. It's got the EJ22 and I've currently got valvoline maxlife synblend 5w30 in the sump, and a purolator classic. I last changed the oil at 123,xxx miles (June 2012) and I'm at 129,700 today. So I've gone almost a year on the oil but only about 7,000 miles. I've added about a...

    Subaru DTC P1133

    To any Subaru owners out there: My CEL came on and I had autozone read the code. Scanner says DTC P1133, and of course they can't tell me the problem. They say it's a "dealer code". From what i've been able to gather from the internet is that it's most likely the front o2 sensor. Has anyone...

    2000 subaru trans and diff change

    Just changed out the transmission and rear differential gear fluid on my impreza. Didn't know what was in there before, but I put in supertech 80w-90 conventional. It's GL-5 and "safe for copper and bronze". I plan to leave it in for 25,000 miles. Comments?

    2000 Subaru impreza coolant

    Recently bought a 2000 Subaru impreza outback sport with the 2.2L engine. Have put about 3000 miles on it so far. I'm not sure when the last owner changed the coolant, but it looks to have normal green coolant. I've read a lot about Subaru's having specific coolant guidelines due to the head...

    1991 honda accord muffler

    Living in upstate New York having a muffler rot and fall off is fairly common. I'm a little short on funds right now, but how much would you estimate to have a shop (such as Monro muffler) put a new muffler on my car? I still have the muffler that was on there but it rusted through right where...

    High mileage 1991 Honda Accord

    I've got a 91 Accord with around 260k miles on it. The engine seems to burn quite a bit of oil, but I've been slowly working on reducing the consumption. It hasn't been very well maintained before it came into my possession. So far I've replaced the valve guide seals, and various seals to stop...

    Burlington Mechanic rates

    I'm not sure if this in the right section, but does anyone from Burlington, VT area or near there know what the typical mechanic labor rates are? I'm a student and need to get my axles replaced on 91 Honda Accord. I'm looking for as cheap of labor, but still done correctly, as possible. I'll be...

    Question about synthetic oil

    I have a 91 accord and it's a real oil burner. Every morning plumes of smoke come out the exhaust and it goes through a quart in about 300 miles. I replaced the valve seals and it seems like that has improved the smoke slightly, but the cars not really worth it to spend any more money on...

    Lubro Moly Motor Oil Saver

    I just added a can of this to my 91 accord, because it has visible smoke on start up after sitting for a while. I figure it would be worth it to try before redoing the valve seals. Has anyone else used this stuff before? link: http://www.liqui-moly.de/liquimoly/produktdb.nsf/id/usa_2020.html
