Unibody rigidity by I hate front wheel drive, most torque must go to the rear

Recommended oil - where's the 5W30 number? by Rebecca Webb
Checking my car's recommended oil for changes while traveling. Recommended for my 2012 Impala is ACDelco dexos 1 synthetic blend. Is that all I need to tell the lube joint operator? What about a kinematic viscosity number like 5W30 or 10W20? Can I find that on the door of the car or under...

Can't remove Mazda brake drum by [email protected]
Hi Larry, have you got the drum off yet? I haven't time to follow weeks of the thread of conversations The B2000 etc. rear brake drums have a "self adjust" mechanism the prevents the star wheel from turning back wards. When you turn the star wheel, "click click click" , you were tightening the...

Smart fourtwo is a joke by [email protected]
I just came across the specs: turning circle is 8.75 m For a micro-car that is pathetic. A Triumph TR7 had same turning circle (with wheelbase a foot longer). So, the fourtwo steering angle is only 30 degrees, and it is RWD. FWD cars typically stop at 35 degrees steering angle. It would have...

Premium fuel - production car - required? by WrongWayWade
I'm considering buying a car where the manufacturer recommends premium fuel. The car has an 11:1 compression ratio. A salesman told me I could use regular gas without a problem; I would just sacrifice a small part of the full horsepower potential of the car. But it wouldn't ping or cause any...

Brake pulsing? by Brian Gordon
I'm driving a borrowed car, and it has ABS brakes. My mechanic says the front brakes are legal, but badly need the rotors turned and the pads replaced soon. My cars haven't had ABS. At low speed braking, I feel a definite pulsing in the brake pedal. Is that more likely a normal ABS thing, or a...
