What's the best remover for stripped lug nuts/lost wheel lock keys? by
N8N
Friend of mine owns a shop... this comes up far too often unfortunately. Usually it's not a lost wheel lock key but a lug nut that's been overtorqued and then left on for a year or two, head strips, uncomfortable call to owner, then carefully blowing the head of the lug off with a cutting torch...

on-demand AWD bull**** by
[email protected]
On demand all-wheel drive used by Hyundai, VW et al for their SUV.
One of the claims is that this saves fuel!
How so?
The SUV is running as FWD while on bitumen roads.
But the rear diff has hypoid gear, and still turns although
decoupled from gearbox. And that hypoid gear is one of the
biggest...

Would larger tires improve the ride of 71 Matador? by
sctvguy1[_2_]
Got screwed by Tires Plus. They put too small tires on my Matador,
basically E78s(19/14s)instead of H78-14s(234R14s). Would having larger
tires help cushion the ride more and improve the ride? I read that the
smaller, narrower tires are causing the ride to be like crap.

Serious warning; aftermarket tie rod ends by
Nate Nagel[_2_]
The last few weeks I've been filling in as a mechanic at a friend's shop
as his best mechanic has been in the hospital (he's doing better though,
I spoke to him yesterday and he sounded well. Hopefully he'll be back
soon, as this is not something that I particularly enjoy doing.) A

Of course, they could have done something really radical like make it
out of composite or plastic.

09 Camry, caster? by
Nate Nagel[_2_]
Drove a friend's car home from a NYE party last night (he drove both of
us there because we were late and my car was low on gas) and it's the
first time I've done more than move it around a parking lot... was
surprised to find that the thing feels like it either has way too much
caster, or...

late shifting 1995 Toyota tercel by
Ivan Vegvary[_2_]
3 speed automatic. Used to shift into second as low as 8 mph, 3rd as low as 15 mph. Now the numbers are 15 and 30.
Transmission fluid full.
Are these transmissions computer controlled or hydraulic like the old hydramatics?
All advice appreciated.
