    Are our wiper motors prone to failure?

    I had a suspicion that this might be related to a previous problem, so I just went outside and did some investigating, and sure enough I have a water leak. I had noticed the leak when the car was new, and the dealer investigated and found that there was a seam on the firewall that had not been...

    Are our wiper motors prone to failure?

    I had a problem with my wipers coming on on their own and not stopping correctly about a year ago. It got bad to the point where they wouldn't work when I needed them (but would turn themselves on randomly when it was NOT raining) so I took it to the dealer. They said the motor was bad and...

    Windshield wipers out of control!?!

    Recently, my wipers have been coming on on their own, behaving erratically and operating at different speeds no matter what I actually have them set at. When this starts, I am unable to turn the wipers off or change their operation mode. They also often stop in the wrong position when they do...

    Quick Q about brake change

    I had to do a quick brake pad change on the rear of my 05 so it would pass inspection and need a couple of questions answered... 1. Should I have used some loctite on those two caliper bolts? 2. What are the torque specs for those bolts and for the lug nuts? If anyone can save me some...

    fuel pump cut off

    This just happened to me yesterday. I was driving and the car just died. Had to have it towed to the dealership. They just called and said it was the rollover switch :(. Guess I hit a bump and that set it off. Crazy that a bump will trip a rollover switch.

    350Z or 05 Mustang GT?

    I did the same poll/question on a more neutral board, you can check out the results here. http://www.pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15730 I've driven both now. My opinion - Liked both cars, looks and driving wise. Giving the mustang the nod, though, because of the big *****-eating...

    Is my tranny on its way out?

    Is my tranny on its way out?

    I'm getting a kind of "whirring" noise that varies with rpm. Happens in all gears, most noticable in 1st and 2nd. Clutch and tranny both have 73k miles on them, but clutch doesn't slip. Throwout bearing has been a little noisy for a while now.

    Attention: Ford C spring users

    After I put mine on, we didnt change the alignment at all. Wouldnt have been possible to get to factory specs on the camber, but everything else was still in spec. The front wheels have a little negative camber, but its right where I wanted it to be anyway (around -1.3 to -1.5, if im remembering...
