Bruce Chang
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...

Clutch Question??? by
[email protected]
Looking over my 1991 Corolla this morning in preparation for a long
trip back home for xmas I noticed something strange. I had both of the
front wheels off the ground, the transmission was in neutral. While the

Brad nailer and tire inflator tank, dangerous? by
Leroy Mowry
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

Brake question by
Henry H. Hansteen
Can air in the brake system cause intermittent trouble? My
2001 Ranger with 4 wheel ABS has too much pedal travel and
weak brakes. The brakes on this truck used to work very well.

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

Checking over my 2000 Sunfire the other day and I noticed that one of
the metal A/C lines ( left hand side as you look into the engine
compartment, a couple of inches below the hood support hinge ) was

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...
