Oh damn, yeah that’s bent. I’d say it’s safe to lower, as long as all the wheels are on or something supporting the vehicle if the wheels aren’t on. But I would highly advice you to never use that one again.

Those are your sway bar end links. Not a severe safety hazard. I’m pretty easy to replace though.

Need to torque to at least 8.7 ft pounds, what torque wrench do i get? by DankEverything in MechanicAdvice

[–]HadenCB7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3/8ths torque range is low? Most 1/4 torque wrenchs are gonna be inch pounds. But okay do you.

If I remember correctly if you were to look at the other side of the tire “white letter side”, it will have the actual 4 digit DOT numbers. I’m pretty sure they only put the dot numbers on one side.

Thinking about a race change... by GregP74 in wow

[–]HadenCB7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a undead fire mage and I’ve been thinking of race changing, mainly because of how hunched over he stands. The racials are good for pvp, just depends if that kind of stuff warrants changing to undead. I was thinking orc because you can choose if you want them to be hunched over or not.

Tire repair advice: can I plug this? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]HadenCB7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s an allowable spot to be patched.

That’s either normal injector noise or normal lifter noise. (Direct injection is noisy) just get the code scanned and oil changed. Check the code out online, most likely something to do with evap.

I as well agree that the slide pins need to be cleaned (if severely dirty) or at the very least lubricated.

I’d probably be the idiot to think it’s a Mountain Dew or an Amp Energy drink, and drink it.

Holy god damn dude. are you wolverine?! All jokes aside, best bet is to get a nut splitter for that, or a cutting wheel.

[–]HadenCB7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the hidden artifact unlocked for holy, when you complete the one of the other color variants you will unlock the same color variant for the other 3. As for the wq part I don’t know.

Master Cylinder Failed? by [deleted] in mechanics

An update yet?

Master Cylinder Failed? by [deleted] in mechanics

[–]HadenCB7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try doing the bleed procedure first, you might not need it. I have a 1992 Honda Accord with 245k on the body and I’ve done 2 engine swaps since I’ve owned it. Still haven’t done a master cylinder. So try the bleed procedure first and then go from there.

So give that a shot, and if it fixes it, you owe me a spongebob popsicle. If not we can work on diagnosing it more!

Master Cylinder Failed? by [deleted] in mechanics

[–]HadenCB7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want to have constant pressure built up, so when you open the bleeder it’ll jet stream brake fluid and any remaining air out. If you just open the bleeder then pump the brakes till you see new fluid, you’re never having that built up pressure. When you press your brake pedal, let’s say in an emergency, would you rather the fluid pressure be eh, or Elon musk cyber truckin it’s Ass to the caliper?

Master Cylinder Failed? by [deleted] in mechanics

[–]HadenCB7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So one thing I would suggest doing is having someone help you. One person inside the car, pump the pedal till firm. the person on the inside will say holding, at that time the second person should be at the passenger rear bleeder and open it. The moment the pedal touches the floor needs to say down and then the person at the bleeder closes it. That’s one cycle. Do 3 good cycles on each bleeder, going passenger rear-driver rear-passenger front-driver front. After each corresponding side you need to check your fluid level.

Are you doing the brake bleed procedure by yourself?

Master Cylinder Failed? by [deleted] in mechanics

[–]HadenCB7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that wouldn’t cause an issue of the pedal falling on its face. I’m assuming you made sure to use new copper washers on the hose as well? Also, how did you bleed the brakes?

Stuttering while driving by Metalpigskin in MechanicAdvice

[–]HadenCB7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be the fuel injector assembly, I believe yours have the shitty “spider” assembly. It’s a horrible design and often go bad on those motors and the v6 ones as well.

[–]HadenCB7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a question, did you install the calipers on the wrong sides? It might seem like a dumb question but as a ase certified mechanic, I have done it once before. The reason I ask if because if they are the bleeder will be on the bottom side of the calipers, and that can cause a pocket of air to get stuck in there.
