Started hearing a weird noise recently from my brakes. Wondering what you guys think it could be. When braking medium to hard from a speed of 30-50 mph, I hear a weird kind of rattle noise. If I brake softly, I don't hear it. They seem to be working fine, so the noise is just irritating...

My brother in law got a 1996 F-250 with the 5.8L motor. How many quarts of oil should it take for an oil change?

About a month ago, I installed new front rotors and pads on my car. The rotors are Powerslot II (Slotted and dimpled) and the pads are Rabestos ceramics. They are working great, but I'm hearing some weird noises from them. I only hear it when I'm close to something that reflects the sound...

How many hours labor is usually in a clutch replacement? I got a quote of 6 hours and that sounded high to me.

So, I'm thinking about the next car I will buy around 2009 or 2010. I'd like to buy something that is sporty, but gets good gas mileage, and carries the FORD nameplate. So, what do I buy? Mazda MX-5 comes to mind. :shrug:

I have the K&N FIPK II...how often should the filter be cleaned? I think I got about 20K miles on it now and its lookin pretty dirty.

Sorry, it don't got a 4.6 motor in it. I got a Haynes manual for the car/truck/suv, but it don't say nothing about it.

So what did you all think about the ending of Forza Motorsport Showdown? Sounds like they plan to do another one in the future. I loved it! Best thing SPEED has done in a long time IMO. The fact that the Mustang won was great, but it was viewed as a cheap win b/c the Challenger team...

So, I had to go out of town last week for work. Didn't wanna put miles on the Stang, so I got a rental car. Asked for the fasted thing they had at my local Enterprise. They gave me a 2007 Nissan Maxima. The climate controls were so friggin complicated, had to get the manual out to figure...

With all the improvements in technology with respect to plastics and alloys, why are all the new cars so ****ing heavy? If everyone is so ****ing worried about fuel consumption, why not reduce the weight of the average car by 1000 lbs? I think part of it is that the auto makers all want to...

Just thought I'd let you guys know...Tirerack has a great price right now on Bridgestone Potenza RE050A...$90 per tire closeout pricing for 245/45/17. I was already planning to buy tires after xmas, so this was great timing for me. Sure, the wear rating is low, but for $90 I figure it's...

Anybody heard anything good/bad about this tire? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Potenza+RE050A+Pole+Position&partnum=445YR7RE050APP&i1_Qty=4&i1_Qty=4 It's top rated for Max Summer Performance on Tirerack.com, but it's pretty new so there are not alot...

A few months ago, I got a set of Ford C Springs installed. Didn't think I would need alignment. When I put my winter tires on last week, found that inside of both front tires are bald. I believe treadwear has been pretty even before now. I'm traveling this week, so I decided to get a quick...

I need a new set of summer tires and these are rated really high on Tirerack. They are really cheap...$81 per. Anybody have experience with these? I got a set of snow tires for winter. When I took my regular tires off, I noticed they were about shot. They are Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S...

I got a set of snow tires mounted on steel wheels. Should I get a set of wheel covers to protect wheel lugs from water, salt, etc? Not too worried about the look...kinda liking the look as they are. Anybody know what kind of metal the wheel lugs are made of?

Thinking about a set of snow tires, but I'm wondering if they are only good in snow, or are they good on wet roads during winter. Winters are never that bad here in Cincinnati...couple hard snows a year. I'm trying to figure out whether it would be worth it to get a set on steel wheels with...

Recently got a set of C Springs installed and so far they're great! However, I have a set of those cheap Rhino ramps for my oil changes. Now with the springs and my chin spoiler, the ramps won't work. Anybody found a good way around this? I might try chopping an inch or so off the...

I've got a Pro 5.0 shifter that I've had for about 50,000 miles. Seems like it's gotten harder to shifter over time. I'm not grinding gears or missing, but I can't shift as fast as I could when I first got the thing. Do aftermarket shifters last the life of the vehicle or do they wear out...

I know they have wider versions of the stock bullit wheels, but what about the five point stock wheels? I'd like to put wider tires on the back, but don't really wanna buy 4 new wheels.

Got my door blown off by a Mitsubishi Eclipse the other day. I don't know what it had in it, but it was making a weird noise. Maybe a turbo or nos...all I know is I was in 4th gear and he ran right past me. He was behind me in traffic, when the light turned green I went like normal, and by...
