No one made me wear a mask, I was given the information, and applying what I know about how fibers work, I chose to wear the mask. If the science I know tells me that the mask is useless, then no, I would not be wearing a mask. I think for me THAT's my definition of freedom, choosing to either...

I don't know if we have a central file/location for symptoms, but... When the strut bearings go, you get clicks but: the click happens when you turn the steering wheel from lock to lock, and it click whether you are driving (rolling) or stationary. if you get someone to turn the steering wheel...

While I am not a doctor, i did work for over ten years working in labs doing academic research in cell bio, molecular bio, and biochemistry. As soon as the covid news came about and authorities said it is not airborne, I was dubious. And yes, the viral particles are so tiny (most virus are...

Wow that's crazy. My 15 and 17 EB's had ZERO problems with struts and steering (except the steering rack dying on the '15 immediately after I had a tire shop do an alignment)... And then my 19 GT, the right strut bearing went, making the clicking sound when i turn steering. But i knew it...

I learned how to drive a manual in a 2000 Jetta (good God, that was 20 years ago!!!) With 105hp engine and a shifter that felt like the linkages were made of taffy. My wife (gf then) ground the clutch down trying to learn on it (her car). I had a 2010 genesis coupe with 6mt and I remember the...

I believe that is normal as that was how my 15 and 17 was. During the day the dash lights up white, and my color only comes on at dusk.

I replaced passenger knuckle and the hub assembly last weekend. I washed it, clayed it (for the first time ever for me and my car), compounded it, and waxed it. The top of the spoiler was actually dull from honded contaminants. Its smooth as mirror now. I also sanded down the huge chip in...

I thought that was one of the reasons behind the factory active exhaust. Mist states are 95 dB and even on the GT PP sport+, it is around 95, and the track mode is tad over 100 dB, which would be illegal in many states, and that's why ford puts that warning, "track use only"??? So wouldn't the...

I took my car to a local garage to get NYS inspection. The shop I used past u years is gone (shutdown), so I drove around until I found a random shop 10 min away from my house. They told me I had leave the car with them for an hour. I said fine, stood outside waiting for my wife to pick me...

Mine is exact same symptom as yours, including the 10 sec between first and second click. But... if you wait 30-60sec AFTER the second click, it seems like the system resets (like restarting the engine). The service tech was the one that discovered that it resets after a minute.

The module should be plug and play. I had exact same symptoms in my 17 EB, and the dealer replaced "a module" under warranty. If you turn on the heat, and you hear the relay click on, and then 10 sec later, the relay clicks off and you get nothing, instead of turning the engine off and then on...

Mike is 100% stock. I am weird in that I like to keep things looking like how it came when I bought them. This is why I didn't even swap out my chrome lug nuts to black. Furthermore, I am coming from two EB Premium 6MT with 201a, shaker. I got my GT because wife said to me if I love the...

Hey guys, So here is the update. It was pouring rain outside, so I ended up duct taping a golf umbrella to my $2000 carbon fiber tripod and working in the rain. I feel so stupid because 10+ years ago, I used to tell people on maxima.org and on pathfinder forums to put jack under the knuckle...

I did pop out the two control arm ball joints and the tie rod ball joint without problems. I have traditionally had harder time with ball joints than strut bolts, so I guess I wasn't hitting it hard enough. Plus the ball joints did not require a big hit. I'll report back (if it will actually...

I was thinking of putting a 34mm deep socket over the bolt head, and use a beefy d-clamp to push it out, but I will give a second attempt with the hammer.

I bought new bolts, so I think I am just going to go to town on the old bolts. I was using a 5 lb. Hammer, but I think I will just hit it even harder. All this because of rusted axle bearing... I'll post about that drama later. Thanks for the help everyone.

I am trying to remove the two bolts that amount the front knuckle to the strut bottom. Circled in red below. So this is the first time I am removing the strut nut and bolts on a s550. I have removed plenty of them on maximas and pathfinders. I normally remove the nut using a breaker bar, then...

Like many folks, I turn off hill assist during weekends, but during week days when I commute to work, I leave it on. I just do the , hold clutch, then release brake, two... three... gas and if you time it right the brake releases as you start to give gas. If you train yourself to it, it does...

Speaking of new BMWs... There is a BMW dealership near my house. I would often hear a, "pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pop!" sound, and then when my wife asks me what it is, I told her that it is probably some idiot bouncing their engine off their rev limiter, and making their fart can exhaust backfire...

20 years ago, my brother in law took a bus to a VW dealer, purchased a Jetta 5spd, and then had the salesperson teach him how to drive stick. He drove around the parkinglot a few times, then around the block around the dealer, getting used to quickly restarting the engine after stalling, and...
