Aligning a castle nut with a torque spec to a cotter pin hole You may be thinking of adjusting tapered wheel bearings, if that is the case backing it off is the correct technique. |

low speed vibration, not in the steering Knowing the make,model and year may lead to more accurate suggestions. |

Yamaha YZ125K 1983 transmission bearings I have good luck with getting bearing at these types of shops. They can measure and identify them even without markings. Plus they are usually cheaper than the dealer or conventional automotive sources. |

What is the likelihood that my crankshaft is warped? The area of the crank most likely to have damaged is the snout or the part that is exposed from the block. The reason for this is that it is unsupported by the bearings and it had an unbalanced weight spinning at 5000 rpm stuck on the end of it. This area of the crank can be measured in the car because it is exposed when the balancer is removed. |

How reliable is a second-hand Subaru 2.5 RS 04-05? I have never heard of anyone with serious engine issues but quite a few rear wheel bearing issues and corrosion due to the salt treated roads of NewEngland USA. |

Jeep Wrangler spark-plug issue If you did them yourself check that the correct wire is going to the correct plug aka the firing order is correct. If you paid someone bring it back and complain. |

what would cause the no.1 sparkplug to foul out 10 minutes after replacing it on a 1997 Buick 3.8 v-6 engine Is it oil-fouled or fuel fouled? |

Dealing with deposits on salt flats/mines don't forget the chain. I would clean and relube it with a dry lube. Any oily resudue left on the chain will cause more salt to stick to the chain. |

Replacing tie rods on Mazda B4000 (aka Ford Ranger) Are you refering to the control arm bushings? This is the component that the balljoints mount to. |

Hazards work but turn signals do not Be very careful when probing in the column as you may accidently discharge the airbag. |

1993 Dodge Stealth Clutch Pedal Flat On The Floor The images I've seen online appear to be a twist cap. From the images it looks to be a 1/4 turn to disengage the hooks then lift up. |

Pulley Difference After Drive Belt Change Are there splines (teeth) cut in the shaft? If there are are they all the same or is one different from the rest. If one is different it must line up with the corresponding tooth on the pulley. |
