Yes, not wet.

This is a very interesting read - http://news.yahoo.com/70-years-d-day-she-hears-dads-stories-165315997.html

I honestly have no idea. Didn't the hubcaps come with installation instructions? You can find good original equipment hubcaps for a fair price at - http://www.Car-Part.com

690,000 perfectly good vehicles with many years of service remaining in them taken off of the road, causing huge price increases in the used car market and costing you the taxpayer $3 billion of your money! Can we say, waste?! The horrific damage to the economy and suffering to the lives of...

Recently I have been looking for a good used car and let me tell you folks, you need to really do everything you can to take care of your cars to help them last as long as possible! The used car market has gone absolutely insane! :eek: I regularly see 175,000 +++ mile vehicles with asking...

Several reasons. It saves money for starters. Why replace something if it doesn't need replacing? :blink: Secondly, since the original equipment coil springs have already settled the end results are almost always superior. The coil spring peddlers don't want the consumer to know this of...

There are ten recalls for this Corolla. Did you have them taken care of yet? http://www.carcomplaints.com/Toyota/Corolla/2010/recalls/

The rings don't cause the problem, the pistons combined with the use of lower performing petroleum oils do. Use the same pistons with petroleum oil and the problem will happen again. I sent you a private message with a possible much less costly solution than rebuilding the engine. Using...

A set of new floor mats for free wouldn't be a bad deal. :thumbsup:

What year and engine are you referring to? How many miles are on it? Did this problem suddenly occur or was it related to something else? Does the problem occur all the time or only when the engine is hot, or only when the engine is cold? Information...

To save even more money, just cut 1/2 coil from the stock springs, reinstall and you're good go to. No need to shell out your hard earned money to the spring peddlers. :thumbsup:

Randomly replacing parts has so many drawbacks and can exacerbate the original problem, making resolving the problem even harder. The spark plugs are not so much the issue as what the spark plugs look like. If a spark plug is misfiring it will appear different than the other spark plugs and...

Are you getting blue smoke out the tailpipe when repeatedly revving the engine? Brake fluid trick?
