why is there such a big difference in manufacturing process.

Porsche: Factory super clean, workers are all fit and pretty young, feels like a science lab and they are all craftsmen

Vette: Feels like some super dome, everything while isn't dirty seems like a big jumbled mess. Workers are all fat, minorities or women. Factory equipment looks like it was from the 80s.

WHY DO ALL THE KIDS THESE DAYS PLAY WITH STUPID JAPANESE TOYS INSTAD OF REAL AMAERICAN CLASSICS????
The brakes on my 2004 Toyota Corolla have slowly been getting worse for months now, and today I had the misfortune of having to drive my car on about a two-hour round trip. By the time I got back, the brakes sounded worse than ever. Before, the grinding would stop whenever I wasn't using the brakes. Now it's making noises even when I'm just pressing the gas and when I brake it makes a more awful sound than it ever has before. It sounds so bad that it almost physically hurts me to come to a complete stop.
I was just wondering what exactly I needed to get done to it and an estimate of how much it would cost. I'm between jobs at the moment and very short on cash. I don't know what to do.
Go to rock auto and buy the cheapest pads and rotors they have. It will probably be under $50.
>>16335324
>short on cash. I don't know what to do
Find a bus schedule and start saving. From your description, it sounds like new pads and rotors. Maybe a couple of calipers. Maybe around $200 just in parts, if you can do your own brake work.
>>16335335
Cheapest pads - CX823 - $6.78
Cheapest rotors - BR31270 - $11.84 x2
Use a 5% discount to mostly counter act the shipping, and there you go, you can do the entire brake job (assuming you don't have a locked up caliper) for ~$35.

anyone else do this?

I can't think of a better way to get yourself pulled over
>>16335287
why not

The new Ford Ecosport. It's a great, practical vehicle with ample room for me to take my partner and her children to Tyrone's house for some quality time.

Sexy as fuck!!!
Thoughts on this car? Could potentially pick it up within a few days. I checked the vin number and the engine serial number is above the range of the notorious balance shaft issue.

My guess would be BRZ/FRS or 370Z
Hey /o/, so I work at a shop, and I've noticed that newer cars don't come with information stickers like pic related anymore. It used to be that you pop the hood and you get: accessory belt routing diagrams, spark plug gap information, displacement, coolant and refrigerant info, etc. But I have noticed on all newer model vehicles I have worked on, they give no info whatsoever. Almost as if they DO NOT want anyone to service them. All info has to be straight from the manufacturer now. Anyone know exactly why this is?
>>16334911
just works lol
>>16334911
>information stickers
servicing any drive belt on an unfamiliar vehicle should probably be done with an actual service manual tbqh
It's only useful if the belt completely fell off.
Share advice on washing and detailing.
>>16334865
Just do it like buddy in your pic, cause he's doin it rite...
>>16334865
Remember to use dish washing soap to get it extra clean, it'll help out to see where the cracks are for when the blinker fluid runs out.
When washing, rub gently with a steel wool to get all the contaminants and bird shit off the paint.
What is /o/'s general consensus on the Dodge Durango?
>>16334843
FCA trash.

Yea it always surprises me when I work on my mother's 2011 Camry. Everything is so cramped compared to my car.
can anyone explain this pls? 1995 Toyota 4Runner V6 3.0L
>>16334459
It is your vacuum hose routing diagram. It shows you where your vacuum hoses go and what they are connected to.
>>16334459
Does it have a head gasket replacement procedure sticker too?
>2016
>still changing your own oil, battery and spark plugs
Stick to changing wiper blades since you can't fuck them up.
Alright that last part with the car wash actually fucking triggered me OP, what the fuck
>>16334450
>that car wash bit
>implying that your readers are literally too retarded to not spill 2 gallons of used oil everywhere
#triggered
>>16334450
do you know how many mother fuckers come in complaining to my dealership about shit like this,
"i just drain my oil and now my cars transmission grinds"
dude you fucking drained the CVT fluid, That'll be 12,000 bucksto replace that shit dumbass
So I just bought an 01 xterra and so far I am very happy with my purchase.
However today I had taken it out into the forest again and due to rain the past couple days it was very muddy, athe times being more than a foot submerged in mud. By the end of the 3 mile or so treck accross mud, rocks and sand and on my way back i noticed a steady squeak and wobble in the front end. I was in 4x4 hi mind you. I stopped for observactions sake and when I started back up again the squeaks were louder but still at an even pace and the wobble was more of an oscillating, side to side Jenking almost in both my truck and the steering wheel.
Later when I no longer needed 4wd and went into 2hi the issue stopped.
Key points are the lots of mud, and I also was going wood hunting and probably brought back around 600lb of oak for the 3 returning miles.
Any ideas what it could be?
Sorry, TL;DR
>xterra squeaks and wobbles in 4wd and 4wd only
>is front end problem
>was under stressful muddy, rocky, and fully loaded conditions.
Any ideas
I've got a second gen and they're known for front end gremlins. Usual culprit is the ball joints.
Since it's 4WD only check your differential. Also that kind of vibration could've just been caused by shit in the wheels throwing your balance off. Same issue in 4WD on flat pavement?
>>16334425
Not vibration, it was a steady rocking back and forth as slow speeds
Help me /o/
Can't decide between 1st or 2nd gen Tacoma
