    OK, explain grease guns to me.

    First of all, I have tried using google. Either I'm using the wrong search terms (probable) or I'm encountering an entirely unique problem (less likely). In either case, I haven't been able to find helpful information. So here's my problem: The gun will push out grease, and it seems like a...

    Should I replace my caliper bracket?

    One of the slide pins is totally rusted into place--no movement at all. Truck is new to me, I noticed the torn boot while doing something else in the area. I'm not exactly sure how it was stopping without noise or other symptoms while I drove it, but I guess at least I know the rear drums must...

    Help choosing suspension/steering parts '04 Ranger

    I need to replace most of the front suspension on a 2004 Ford Ranger 4x4 that I recently purchased, and I'm looking for recommendations for how to keep this kinda cheap, but not too cheap. I've seen 8-12 pc kits on Amazon and elsewhere for around $100, and frankly that seems "too good to be...

    CRC Moly Graph EP question

    I picked up an outer tie rod end for my Santa Fe, and I'm wanting to know if the grease my grease gun is loaded with is ok, or if I need something else. The Napa part is from their premium line, made in Korea (which I assume is ok since it's a Korean car) and the grease in it appears to be kind...

    Will stop leak help this leak? 2003 Civic

    The other day I noticed fluid on the end of my power steering rack, on the passenger side. The leak is apparently pretty slow--I've never really noticed the fluid level drop much, and I wasn't looking for this, just happened to see it. Fluid was on the end cap and on the boot as well. You can...

    Tracing power steering leak '03 Civic

    Can you guys help me find the source of a slow power steering fluid leak? I'm assuming I have one, because my PS line and hose looks to be wet, from where the metal line connects to the pump to about 8 inches along the hose. I've put in pictures, but I'm not sure if you can tell in them that the...

    Stripped oil pan drain hole

    The dealer tells me that the threads are partially stripped on the drain plug and hole, and that I should plan to replace my oil pan. They sealed it all up with Honda bond this time, but can't promise how many times that will work for me. My question is this--wouldn't it make better sense to...

    Bosch = Supertech?

    So, what does this mean? Looked to be about a dozen of these (all the same model as far as I noticed).

    Help me choose an oil--2009 Santa Fe

    Hello BITOG, my first post here since last time I bought a car. As the title says, I'm trying to decide on an oil for my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. I just bought it off my father in law, so I have an idea of the maintenance it has gotten. Cheap, but regular and probably on schedule. Likely on the...

    Two Hondas: Oil and filter recs?

    I hope it isn't improper (or counterproductive) to ask for recommendations on two cars in the same thread. Somehow I've ended up with two Hondas, I never expected that, but who ever knows where they'll end up. Both cars are relatively new to me, and I only have vague information on previous...
