I've got an 89 Firebird T/A with the death wobble and yesterday I was underneath and trying to figure out if I had a bad ball joint or something in the steering linkage that was loose but couldn't find anything. The only thing I have is a leaky steering box that looks like the pitman arm is slowly...

Hi, I'm having a problem with the wipers on my 85 Caprice. Here's the sequence of events: 2 days ago wipers start acting weird : They "park" themselves after each cycle, in Low and High. They park for about a second, then start the next cycle. In "intermittent", they work normally, except...

This pneumatics brad nailer calls for 55-100-psi, the 5G tank supplies 120-psi. The instructions on the side of the tank says, "do not use on pneumatics tools." It didn't say anything about single shot nailers. The laws of physics yet is prove itself. But if anyone see an imminent tank explosion...

Help: Nissan Altima brake & battery light came on and can not jump up by [email protected]
Your alternator is toast. A new alternator will fix both problems. The brake light is sensing the drop in voltage, and once you have an alternator that puts out over 12.5-13 volts, the light will go off. I had the same problem in my 96 Altima. Mike

Third gear started slipping in my 93 Pontiac Bonneville. The car has about 146000 miles. I decided to fix the trans while the problem was still minor. Sure enough the third clutch showed signs of burning and for unknown reasons the clutch plates with splines on the inside had all the...

Rekeying '92 Civic door lock by Bob 4knee
Hi, Bought a '92 Civic which must have had the driver's door handle replaced at some point. What's my cheapest option to make all the keys match again: I guess Honda can probably sell me a cylinder if I give them a key number? Probably most pricey, if they go back that far? If I take the...
