Happens only when turning right at low speeds (~15mph). Already replaced wheel bearings and inspected CV axle. Tensioner seems fine but still clicking...
Doing a full head gasket replacement. Manual says 23Nm + 90° but I've seen forum posts suggesting different values for 2AR-FE. Want to be 100% sure before tightening.
Replaced O2 sensors and catalytic converter but code returned after 300 miles. Idle shakes between 600-800 RPM. Could it be a vacuum leak or MAF issue?
My 2009 Mazda 3 says it uses DOT 3, but I only have DOT 4 on hand. Can I mix them for a temporary flush until I get proper fluid? Any risks to calipers?
Installed new AGM battery, alternator tested at 14.8V at idle but drops to 12.1V under load. Belt tension looks good. Could the voltage regulator be failing?
Doing a full brake job on a 2014 Subaru Outback. Know the standard bleed sequence but unsure how to handle the ABS pump modulator without a professional scanner.
Shop rotated tires and now I feel a distinct shake in the steering wheel only in highway cruising range. Wheels balanced before rotation. Did they mix up front/rear balance patches?
Replaced oil pressure sender, filled with 0W-20, but gauge sits at 1/4 bar when warm. Engine sounds fine, no knock. Is this normal for this engine or low flow?
