Short question: Should I buy Yokohama Avid TRZs or Yokohama YK520s (or
neither -- something else?)
Background: I want to admit up front that I don't know much about cars
or tires.  However, I do drive one (a car, that is), so I appreciate any

Any help would be appreciated on information of how to remove the
valves on the engine. I am trying to replace the valve stem seals. It's
a 12-valve Ford pushrod V6 from a 1998 Taurus.
Thanks in advance,

I had a flat tire on the front passenger side tire on my SUV.  My wife
didn't know about it and started driving, not realizing the tire was flat,
and a few minutes later came back and told me about it.  I'm not sure how
far she drove on a flat tire (never a good thing to do).  ...

I probably should have enlightened a bit better from my last post. I am
replacing a head gasket, and I do have the heads off. I am not going to
have them machined as they are not warpped. I am very experienced with
engines/auto mechanics. However, I always work on foreign cars, this ...

Strange turn signal problem.  Sometimes the turn signals work and
sometimes they don't.  Got in the car the other day and I had no turn
signals (either side). Nothing I could do would make them work.

Got a '97 Chevy S-10 pickemup that is losing coolant from the cooling system
frequently.   Had a water pump go out a couple years ago, so doubt it's
that.  Besides which the temp just went on over like it would peg out if I
didn't shut down, with the water pump problem.

Im looking for the Chevrolet C30 starter screw, but i dont know if it

I need to replace the passenger side manual mirror on my '97 S-10 pickup.
Looks like I'm going to have to take the door panel off to do that.
What kind of tools will I need for this job?

When I've bought parts from a yard sometimes they hastily dab their
initials or a date or whatever on the part with some sort of yellow
paint. (maybe to identify a part they sold for warranty but who
know...) I haven't been to one or bought anything in a long time. But

Hi Folks,  I have a 99 Altima 5 speed with 108,000 km.  Recently I've
noticed there is a single click/clack when I accelerate or decelerate that
seems to be coming from the front right wheel.  I can get it to happen if I
alternately ease the car forwards and backwards in the ...

We have a 1989 (I think, sorry) Mercury Sable. The wheels have a
special lug nut that requires a special tool to take it off. Somewhere
back there the tool got lost. Now if we have a flat tire we're sunk.
Any suggestions? I wish somehow we could get them off and just replace

Our car is having problems with hard starting and erratic misses that
are not being recorded on the ECM nor making the "check engine" light
turn on.

1999 jeep wrangler 2.5L inline, 5 speed manual. 95K miles.  After
pushing my jeep hard to get up a hill while offroading, a loud knock
came from the engine.  The knock is slow while at idle and speeds up
along with the RPMs.  It sounds like it is in the lower end of the

Hey all - 2000 Explorer Sport, 94,500 miles. RWD, 5-speed manual.
The power steering pump is making the familiar moaning
sound...definitely the pump as it changes pitch when the steering wheel
is turned. It is audible with no load on the pump at all. Is there
