I used to know the engineer on the lamp and I can confirm he made a mid-cycle material change on the gasket (Said the old one could take a set and cause leaks if the lamp ever shifted a bit or if the lamp was removed and replaced). One other thing to check for is a break in the body sealer used on t...

So Chrysler is offering these 25k vehicle vouchers to go with their buyout packages. There's really no car I want now, so like many others I assume, I was thinking of getting a Wrangler and immediately reselling it to get some cash. Chrysler came out with this little stipulation a couple days after ...

Thanks for the informative testimonial. What can you say about road/engine noise in around town driving and on highway at 65-80 mph? That's really my biggest concern about the Fit.

Anybody here driven a Honda Fit?

I'm starting to think about getting rid of the 60k mile 2k2 R/T in favor of a 2009 Honda Fit. Looking at old and new Car & Driver reviews, the Neon has it over the Fit in HP & braking distance. The Fit has it over the Neon in terms of newness, Honda perceived reliability (?), and slight bump in fuel...

Thanks guys, guess I'm still ok for a few more miles. I thought I might've needed new shocks, but all the things I noticed went away with new outer tie rods and LCA bushings.

It was a long time ago, but I think I averaged 39 MPG on a 4ish hour trip in my '98 R/T. I was drafting a semi most of the way. I never did a similar trip in my 2k2, but I'd expect the same if I dorve the same. Except for that trip, I tend to just drive 78-80 and let MPG be damned.

So how long (age or miles) do stock shocks last?

I'm pretty sure shocks can go bad long before the 'corner press test' tells me anything, so how can I tell if the shocks have given their all? I don't drive the car so much anymore; it's my GF's DD and currently has ~57-60k miles. Its a 2k2 R/T.

But overall diameter doesn't directly correlate to pad clamping area, does it (also called swept area I think)? Remember the rear discs also...
