Testing/Inspecting Brake Master Cylinder by
Chris F.
I have a question regarding the master brake cylinder, on the 1980 Honda
Civic I'm attempting to restore. When I acquired this vehicle, the brakes
were totally non-functional, and depressing the brake pedal produced a
strange groaning noise from the master cylinder area. I later discovered
that...

Tegger finally does the Tercel's driveshaft boots by
Tegger[_2_]
I started a thread months ago asking questions about replacing the original
driveshaft boots on our '99 Tercel's original left-side driveshaft. The
outer one was beginning to crack, and I didn't want to be like everybody
else and let it split and wreck the joint. Plus I was masochistic enough to...

tried to start the car and things started "popping" all round, the
lights etc sagged, and I quit trying. I checked the battery voltage

Question about 2000 Grand Am radiator replacement by
Sweetscience3
Auto: 2000 Grand Am 3.4L V6
I may have a bad radiator and I was curious as to whether the radiator
can be replaced
separate from the A/C condenser. One source I looked at seems to
infer it can and another says they're one unit. If the latter is
true, that's really stupid that you've got to...

A Toyota commercial they are running in my area claims that 80% of all
Toyota sold in the last 20 years are still on the road. This seemed to
be a very low number to me. What do other think?

Air bag activatio by
klem kedidelhopper
I was watching a movie the other day wherein someone went up to the
front of a car and hit the bumper dead on in the area where it might
mount to the left frame extension with a small sledge hammer. This
seemed to activate both dashboard air bags. Is this reality or is it
just Hollywood? Thanks,...

battery test at Advance by
Tom[_32_]
I'd gotten the free battery test at the tire dealer's last week, and they'd
told me my battery was weak.
Not being the trusting kind, I went to Advance Auto today - and their check
said my battery was "good". Is it safe to assume that the tire dealer wasn't
telling the truth, or are there...
