Why do so many car manufacturers make cars that require struts these days ?
Shocks are about 15 to 20 times cheaper to install.

Newfangled, easily crunchable JUNK !

low power in my Suburban.
The cat was clogged up and I bought a new one.

Last year I purchased a portable battery charging device to keep in my
car in case I need to jump-start by myself.  It is by Xantrex and is
called Portable Power 300C.  It has jumper cables and something to add
air in the tire (which saved my life several times already).  The

Anybody use any suspension simulators for any reason? If so what do you
use and how do you like it? (easy to use, understand, and did it predict

Help,

I just bought a new "direct replacement" catalytic converter for my
Daihatsu. A thing that surprises me is that the bottom threaded holes are
slightly small in diameter.

My daughter drives an old 1982 Laser which I have maintained for several
years. Recently it started suddenly developing a power loss and stalling. It
does not happen all the time, but when idling the engine hesitates
erratically. At least it does that all the time. I have replaced ...
