"Workers at McDonald's and other fast-food chains conducted strikes and walkouts in nearly 60 cities Thursday, hoping for super-size wage hikes that for many would boost their hourly pay to $15 from the current federal minimum $7.25." Really? You expect to get $15/Hour for working at a...

Ive never heard of that brand of control arm so I cannot speak to its quality. That will not damage the control arm. Chock the wheels you're leaving on the ground and set the tires on wood blocks. It won't go anywhere. A torque wrench is necessary. In my experience, the cheap parts...

That doesnt sound high to me. The part was at least $100 after shop markup? A couple hours labor. Sounds about right to me for book time. Independent AMSOIL Dealer, Contact me to get the world's best oil for prices lower than brands like Mobil1 and Royal Purple! GoldMedalSyntheticOils.com

Whatever person helped you either didn't care or didn't know what he/she was doing. I had 3-4 brands to choose from for filter sockets when I worked at oreillys and ive never had someone ask for one that I couldn't get within 24 hours. Sometimes its a matter of finding the filter and measuring...

You can get bare control arms or loaded control arms. By that I mean a control arm that is just the metal peice or the control arm with the bushings and lower ball joint pre-installed. Make sure that you're getting what I call the loaded control arms. Also, I'd get moog or OEM. Don't buy the...

To be honest, I firmly believe in purchasing USA made products whenever possible. In this case, the quality will most likely be the same. They are literally 2 seals, 2 dust boots, metal and a spring. Even if you find an assembled in the USA wheel cylinder, I'd be surprised to see one that was...

Adjusting the tensioner all the way down will not help. One piston is moving too far in the bore. Period. End of story. You have to figure out why. I'd be looking to see if something is causing the other side of the brake assembly to be seized. If the left piston won't move, the right piston...

On air brake systems they use a spring to apply the parking brake. Want to guess what everyone calls it? The death spring.

That's not showing up for me. Put it on photobucket and post a link to it here

Not installing the adjuster could be the only thing I'd think of...

Can you? Maybe. You'd have to get the seal to sit right. If the piston is overextending in the bore then it can only be a few issues. One piston is seized, you put the brake system together incorrectly, or worn out pads and drums. You eliminated the worn out drums and rotors. One piston could...

In California and Hawaii it is illegal for parts stores to read codes for a customer. Any other state does this.

Coming from a guy who worked at oreillys and would tell customers which of our items were crap, I've never had a wheel cylinder come back. So, the piston is popping out of the wheel cylinder or it is just leaking fluid?

Springs have no effect on this. The wheel cylinder is simply traveling too far. That's the end of the story. This is not caused by a bad wheel cylinder. When you say it blows out, do you have the brake drum on the vehicle?

I was in high school when some kid was using an impact gun on the coil spring compressors. He shot the coil spring across the shop. They literally go off like a gunshot. It could easily kill or maim someone

I'd do the quick strut. You get new struts but you also get fresh Springs. Plus if you don't know what you're doing with a coil spring compressor is dangerous. If you aren't going to go the quick strut route, I recommend that you bring your struts assemblies to a shop and pay them to swap the...

Any parts store that sells monroe struts should be able to get the quick struts. When I worked at oreillys, there was only one instance where I couldn't get the quick strut for the customer within 24 hours and it was for some new-er audi...

That place where the scissor jack goes is called a pinch weld and it's perfectly fine to lift the vehicle on the pinch weld. I was taught to lift vehicles there by multiple master automotive mechanics
