So, I noticed that there was negative camber for both rear wheels of my Mazda5 and the right rear tire has a lot of inner edge tire wear and the left rear tire's inner edge disconnected from the casing so it was bubbled up. That could have blown while driving. Anyway. I replaced that tire. I...

Hi, just a quick question. I bought Permatex Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker It says it provided maximum oil resistance so I bought that instead of the gray, blue, red, or other gasket makers. Anyone else replace the gasket on their oil pan? What did you use?

No longer needed.

Well, i bought two O2 sensors for a 2006 MPV. It's my first time changing O2 sensors on this vehicle, and I didn't know there were four O2 sensors. Two upstream sensors, one for each exhaust manifold. And two downstream sensors, one for each catalytic converter. I changed out the front bank...

Ha ha. This was my second time around replacing these belts. It took less than an hour last time, which was over 7 years ago. Removed first drive belt with no problem. The alternator drive belt could not be loosened, so I started to loosen the bottom bolt that hold the bottom end of the...

So, what I thought was a possible wheel bearing issue was not. I jacked up the front and moved the wheel around. No movement on both sides. Then, I noticed the passenger side front wheel was very hard to move. I removed the wheel and it looked like there was no pad left. This was strange as I...

So recently, my steering wheel is pulsing while I'm driving. But not all the time. I can hear it too. First, I thought it was the tires that were becoming unbalanced, like a wheel weight fell off, or my tire was going flat. But my tire didn't go flat so that rules that out. The pulsation sound...

I have already replaced the downstream OEM catalytic converter months ago with the Magnaflow one. This weekend, I replaced the upstream OEM catalytic converter with a Magnaflow one. I'm not in California so it wasn't a problem ordering one online and installing it myself. I tried to remove a...

Well, I've used two different brand headlight restoration kits. One was okay but did not last a long time. Another one was as good, lasted longer, but the headlights are hazy again and soon will be going to the yellowing stage. Anyone had success with a particular brand headlight restoration kit?

I attempted to do the spark plug non-fouler fix for my P0421 error. The error code hasn't come up in a week since I cleared it last week. I bought this part, NAPA 7302442, 18mm spark plug non-fouler. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=NDP7302442_0375753140 I drilled it...

Ever since I changed the fuel filter, my car doesn't start up right away like it used to. I have to crank it more than once or hold the ignition in the forward position for a longer time before it turns over. Once it starts, everything is fine. Anyone experience this before or know what the...

Used Corksport front motor mount inserts. Excellent condition, installed for one month. Fits 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5. Fits OEM front motor mount only. Does not fit DEA front motor-mount (aftemarket replacement). DEA added more rubber inside the motor mount than the OEM one so the inserts...

Anyone know if Sparco seats will work with Corbeau seat brackets?

Ok, I finally got all my parts in. Centric calipers, Ate rotors and Centric Posi-quiet pads. I used PB Blaster and sprayed that on the bolt head area and gap between the caliper and strut; I drew in red arrow marks in the pictures below. I left if for over half an hour and came back and it came...

Hmm, I think my driver's side wheel bearing is going. I am getting a high-pitched metallic squeeling. I thought it might be the brake pads but the sound doesn't change when I apply and/or release the brakes. Is it hard to change out?

Okay, so I see a vacuum line that appears to be cracked but not leaking. It is coming up from the intake manifold and goes to this cylindrical housing on the passenger-side firewall. Anyway, I've never changed vacuum lines. I don't see in my pdf manual what the inner diameter size I need. Anyone...

Well, about three weeks ago, my car started having idle problems and it took a couple of cranks to get the car started. I had recently replaced the coils, wires and spark plugs so it wasn't that. So, to prevent the car from stalling out because it wouldn't hold steady while idling, I had to rev...

On the roof-mounted antenna, there's this rubber surround that has dried up and cracked. I don't see where I can get a replacement. It's only cosmetic. Anyone have this replaced?

I replaced my radiator without any major issues. I needed to get a bunch of new screws to hold the radiator fans in place. The main problem was when I removed the plastic panel below the radiator on the passenger side. There are 5 bolts, 3 under the front bumper and two in the wheel well. Four...
