I agree that it would not be common to find. A place that caters to race cars would have them, or you could get recommendations from a shop that works on race cars. Real race cars, not fancy cars for the street. (caution, below is long explanation where it's very common to shave tires) I used...

I saw the other thread about jacking up the front of the truck, but instead of asking my question at the end of his and unintentionally hijacking it, I created a fresh one. For years I've always jacked all my cars by from the center. In the front, it was by some cross-member and in the rear at...

For those that are concerned about whether the Apple Car Play update will be available for their model year or country should reread the post. Basically, if you have "Mazda Connect", you are eligible for the update. That's how I read it, and how some other news sites have read it. I think you...

My background is in engineering so I know where your coming from. Over the years, car manufacturers have used different materials to soften vibration to the cabin and within the cabin. From my experience working on cars since the 90s to now, outside the cabin, outside the car,the dominate...

So many people have mentioned their displeasure to disabling touchscreen while driving that I felt the need to post. Back in the day, before touch screens or screens that share lots of information, everything was by touch, tactile touch. The only reason you might have to take your eyes off the...

I'm confident that you will strip the threads before you warp the rotors. I've warped many rotors in the past and it's always been because you got the brakes extremely hot and then you used the emergency break to park the car. Other times are when you've gotten them extremely hot and then hold...

Holy thread highjack Batman! (hijack) post #5 and never looked back. Lol Somewhere in here is the original thread poster with question... Lol

I've replaced two ABS sensors on a 130,000 mile Honda SUV. An absolutely pain in @&#!#! Even after destroying the sensor to get it out of the hub, I still had to use a propane torch to fully clear it out. A new low mileage truck should be easier, but I would prepare for the worst if you did...

Tire rack emailed me to let me know that the wheel and rim size are not the recommended sizes, nor is the width with the profile I chose. They asked if I would like to change it. I told them how great it was for them to catch and notify a consumer who did it by accident, but I assured him I...

As the title says, we picked up some new wheels and tires for the winter. It took some time to research if it could be done, and I'm confident it will work. I never read anybody with a Grand Touring and 19" dropping to 16" wheels. Tire Rack would even allow the selection for tire/wheel...

Platforms have been shared for years and between manufacturers. The unknown looker wouldn't know that. It looks like a truck. However, a Subaru Crosstrek actually looks like a car, that's lifted. If you were to really generalize, there are CARS TRUCKS MOTORCYCLES The CX-5 is a truck. All...

When the 1st "SUV" arrived as a Ford Bronco in the 80s, they were called trucks. "SUV" was a marketing word to better separate it for buyers, but it still is a truck. Not calling it a truck is like saying a white guy isn't white. "uh, well no, I'm not white. I'm German, Italian, Native...

Contrary to belief by a few people on this forum, IT IS a truck.

Contrary to belief by a few people on this forum, it IS a truck. Let's not get annoying on this.

Obviously it's not a CX-7, if there is one. I mistyped it on my phone. Contrary to belief by a few people on this forum, it is a truck.
