Checking for Recalls? by CWLee
Is there a website at which one can input a Ford VIN code and learn, for that specific vehicle, which recalls apply to it and which of those recalls have been completed? I suspect Ford dealers have access to something like that, but if so is it also available directly on-line to the...

Can I remove/disable a gear shift interlock solenoid? by yaugin

Straightening an Aluminum wheel by phaeton
On the way to school this morning, I got into an understeer situation in the snow. Fortunately I was only doing about 20mph, but nonetheless it resulted in a pretty righteous curb shot. I'm pretty sure my alignment is hosed, but I know that's (probably) going to be an easy/inexpensive fix. Of...

Front suspension squeaks over speed bumps by Dan[_6_]
'95 Corolla makes some rubber-squeak noise when going over speed bumps and road irregularities. This is more pronounced when cold. After car has been driven for some time, there's almost no noise. I lubricated the sway bar bushings, then changed them to new OEM ones, and got the same noise. Any...

TOYOTA COROLLA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: QUESTION by BrianInNY
Quick question: We recently purchased a new 2010 Corolla LE with automatic transmission. Third gear is horizontally even with the normal "D" drive on the shift gear box, so it's pretty easy to make a mistake if you're in a hurry. My wife mistakenly drove it in third gear (instead of the normal...

Junk or Odd Tools by Vic Smith
Most here have seen most tools. Sometimes you run across a contraption tool and it might interest you, or you see right away it's just junk. Maybe you're not sure, so you take a flyer. Anyway, about 30-35 years ago I ran across something - probably in a hardware store, and bought it. Maybe 5...

air filter brand and change interval question by Ashton Crusher[_2_]
So, aside from oil and filters, what are people doing for air filter change intervals, do you follow the maintenance schedule in the owners manual, or ???? Most of my vehicles have called for changes at around 15 or 20K miles and that's more or less when I change the filter. Only exception is if...

Hello, all. My 1990 Mercury Sable has lately been displaying some unusual heating behavior: With the passenger compartment temperature set at 85F I only get cold air coming out of any of the ducts even when the engine temp is nominal (mid range on the temp gauge). The weird thing is that after I...
