Separate names with a comma.
Try dryer sheets. The smell is supposed to repel mice.
Jack each wheel up and see if the hubs have any lateral play ... that is, whether you can pull the wheels in and out on their axis.
I too am surprised a bearing would fail at just 79,000 miles. We bought the car used with 35000 miles on it, so I suppose the car might have seen...
I finally got around to jacking up the car this afternoon. I can feel the right front wheel shift when I rock it in and out (lug bolts are tight)....
I like to keep the tires around 35 psi. I have a Touring, so the aspect ratio is a little lower than the standard version -- the ride is plenty...

My car doesn't burn any oil, but I always keep the oil level halfway between the "full" and "add" marks. That minimizes the amount of oil vapor...

Be careful with aftermarket parts. There's a lot of junk out there, and poorly made suspension bushings tend to fail quickly. I'd find a good...
Believe what you will. But here's the summary of legal action the US government brought against the maker of the leading PTFE engine oil additive,...
Sometimes brake rotors pick up glazing or other deposits from new pads during the breaking-in period. I'd try taking the car out to a little...
I like some synthetic content in oil because of its broader viscosity index and improved flow during cold startups, particularly in winter (it...
FWIW, the value of PTFE (Teflon) in engine oil is widely disputed. The manufacturer of Teflon, Dupont, doesn't recommend its application. If you...
I like Continental's Pure Contact with Eco Plus Technology. Conti says it's an LRR tire, but the thing I like best about it is the way it handles...
The whistles don't work, but your horn will. When you see one near the road (watch for their eyes reflecting your headlights at night) give them a...
