How can I choose the safest affordable tire available? Perfect example, I swear by Michelin because they make some seriously good (albeit expensive) tires. However, a relative hates them and thinks I'm crazy to use Michelins because they managed to find some super-cheapo (if not 4 for $100, something close) Michelin branded tires that they had problems with... :-) |

Will stock tires from a toyota yaris fit a 2004 cavalier Given the difference in width of the tires, we'd also need to know the wheel width for the Cavalier. Also, tire brand/model is important as some brands/models (even of the same size) can support more wheel widths than others... |

Aftermarket Glass Run Rubber (for '94 Nissan D21 Truck) The shipping is ridiculous, but the parts prices seem about right... I paid around $1000 to get new door/t-top seals for my 1991 Toyota... |

How important is it to use a real flare nut wrench when removing the fuel line on an old Ford tractor? Fuel lines are almost always made out of aluminum, which as you may know is a fairly soft metal. Very easy to round off with standard wrenches if it's at all stuck. |

1997 Geo Metro dies after driving for a short time. What next in diagnosing culprit I wouldn't rule out fuel and air yet either, but my limited experience suggests that ignitions systems suffer, by far, the most failures... Electronics of all kinds are suspect. Now that I think about it, I do know a couple GM owners that had similar problems due to failing MAFs (of the flapper variety). I don't know what type of AFM your car would have. Probably not a TPS though, I've had a flaky TPS that made driveability a bit "off", but never threatened to kill the car. |

Suspension squeaks Check the swaybar bushings first, they probably need lubrication. That's a very common issue as they're typically located in a place where the lube gets washed out of them pretty easy. |

Troubleshooting 'random' clutch problems Most cars do have a "clutch pedal spring", but it's only there for anti-rattle purposes. The clutch system pressure is supposed to keep the pedal up in your typical car. |
