I tried doing a search but didn't get any definite answers so I figured I'd ask the track guys directly since you guys probably do more pad swaps than the average bear. I'm getting ready to change pads next week, I have some questions about brake pad changing routines which affect braking...

HELP scraping noise from front EDIT: Scraping noise not clunking from front right wheel after spring/strut install. Okay I already took Cellerator's advice and tightened all the endlink nuts. I went back and rechecked everything. Springs are seated on the rubber. All nuts and bolts are torqued...

I'm baffled here by this problem. I'm trying to disgnose the problem from my friend's 98 camry. When braking in the highway (from speeds of 70+) you can hear a "rumbling" noise coming from the front of the car. Can anyone guess as to what's possibly causing the problem?

I just replaced a bad alternator belt and now the car won't start. It cranks but that's all. Any ideas? Help please! I'm trying to troubleshoot it as I type.

My custom catback made of mild steel is starting to show some signs of rust after 26000 miles. I want to renew everything and was wonder if anyone has actually painted their exhaust with high heat paint? I'm also thinking of doing the entire thing in black for a low pro look. If I were to do...

I was wondering what are the cons of running an OBX header with a MAM catted midpipe with no catback. I already know I'll probably go deaf so I'll just turn the music up louder. 1) Will exhaust gases be harmful to the car if they come out where the midpipe ends? 2) Any thermal damage to the...

I ran a search and did not find what I was looking for. I'm planning to slap on my obx header two weeks from now and just wanted to ask some people who has replaced the stock exhaust manifold some questions... 1) I have 25000miles on my car, I know gaskets weren't meant to be reused....who has...

I've had some close calls with road debris. A couple years back some idiot didnt tie his s*** down. Boxes of metal body panels fell off the back of his pickup truck and landed right in front of me within seconds on the highway. Bumper and side skirt was scratched to hell. Another occasion I...

Okay could somebody please just take off their front wheel and tell me if this "cap" thing that covers the center of the rotor is missing? My rear rotors have this cap but the fronts they're gone and you can see the centerbolt! I was thinking the tire shop propped them off or something? Thanks

I finished putting everything back together than something has gotten me worried. So a question to all of you who've installed springs/struts 1) I torqued everything down to the specs stated in the service manual but I was wondering if anyone put loctite/threadlocker on the strut piston nut...

Hmm.......I was jacking up my car earlier today and the damn floor jack started leaking oil when I got to a certain height. I lowered it right away. Think I can get it fixed?

Okay I'm got my springs back onto the shock (using spring compressors) but I'm having a slight problem. Can somebody tell me if this is normal? I can see that the "bowl" shaped washer is slanted as it sits against the top mounting plate. The piston nut is fine though. I hope this isnt a problem...

hey guys I need help quick it's getting dark.......I'm currently trying to remove the right rear strut. Mazda's geniuses decided to position the brake assembly to strut mounting bolts in such a way that the brake caliper is in the way. I'm trying to get the caliper out of the way and I found a...
