Reducing Power Steering Pump PSI on Modern Car by [email protected]
Car less than 10 years old, conventional hydraulic PSP(Power Steering Pump). I do not think it is variable PS. I'm a twitchy driver, and would like to reduce the amount of PS assist, hence increasing the amount of steering effort I need to exert before inadvertently veering into an adjacent lane...

How well does the $80 harbor freight bubble balancer work on cartires? by M.L.[_2_]
I know the thinner the tire, the more static balancers do well versus dynamic spin balancers (or road force balancers, for that matter), so we know that's why a lot of motorcycles do just fine with just a static balance. And, I know that an ounce of static unbalance is far worse than an ounce...

GM B-Body: 1977 and after by [email protected]
I have been told by members of a social group devoted to 1973-77 A-Body "colonnade"-style that the new 1977 downsized B-body (Caprice, Bonneville, 88, and Le Sabre) was no more than an A- body frame with a new body bolted onto it.

Road noise, depends on steering by [email protected]
04 Cavalier, 115K. Tires are decent, and don't seem to be wearing unevenly. Low-pitch droning noise at highway speed. Originally, this was only when steering left; but now, also when going straight. The noise goes away when steering right. ("steering" as in a lane change or road curve.) No...

2003 F150 power steering hose removal: small wrench by Michael Wilson
I'm trying to remove the power steering hose on a 2003 F150 5.4L. It's really tight where the hose connects to the power steering motor. I would need like a 2-3 inch long wrench to move the 11/16 bolt. Any experience or advice for this project? Thanks, MIke

My friend has a Lexus IS 250. He was told they use special tires and he has been paying $500 each. Is that true ? Sounds ridiculous. My car has larger tires that go for $119 each.
