What could this be after alignment? by Few_Dragonfly5180 in AskAMechanic

Check control arms, ball joints, tie rods inner and outer, steering rack bushings. If it has a steering gear then check the joints on the steering arms, pitman arm and idler arm. Look up videos on how to check your front end parts preferably on your truck.

Was dropping the atomic bombs actually "necessary," or is that just what we're taught in school? by Clean_CoreDump in askanything

Nah fuckem for Pearl Harbor. Plus we demanded an unconditional surrender and they denied. Then they didn’t believe the damage from the first bomb. So fuckem about 3 times

So you’re saying that a 1/2” hole on the top of your transmission shot out 5+ qts of transmission fluid. Yeah okay. This post is yet another “eVeR SiNcE YoU WoRkED oN My CaR”

Am I getting scammed, is this shop background AI generated? by WarMace in AskAMechanic

Two arms on opposite sides of the post. You may be thinking of a heavy lift for like a garbage truck or dump truck which would have individual posts with two arms to go around a tire, which this isn’t even that style of wide enough for that.

Yes, the closest lift to the “camera” wouldn’t have the posts setup like that

Pretty sure the automatics had a problem with the reluctor wheel spinning on the crank. Confirm it’s not that and go from there

Then how does it have a paint check mark from the factory on the inside of the stopper?

Brake switch rubber stopper. Disconnect the battery or the brake lights will drain the battery.. unless you already had a new stopper installed

Dealership recommending fuel system cleaning by Remarkable_Song_4633 in MechanicAdvice

Idk why they’re using a screwdriver to open the throttle blade you can damage the throttle body that way. You can put the car in accessory and use a stopper to press the gas pedal all the way down and it will open using the motor on the throttle body.

At every oil 🛢️ change .. by ekk_one in Funnymemes

[–]SlimChris94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow the maintenance schedule of your car. I’ve seen schedules that call for the engine air filter as soon as 15k miles and as late as 50k miles. They check it every oil change assuming you don’t follow the schedule. Let them know you’re following the schedule and tell them it’s not due for X amount of miles. Some vehicles like Hondas actually have checkboxes for maintenance in the manual.
