Roof Rack/storage

I am driving out east next week and I don't think I can fit all my stuff in my car so I was looking at getting some kind of roof top storage. I do not want to spend $300-400 on Yakima or Thule roof racks so I was wondering if anybody has something cheaper that works that I could go pick up. I was lo...

I took the rotors off and cleaned the hubs and back of rotors up, thinking something may have gotten in there when I put it back together causing a little wobble. Seems to be better, maybe to a point where it is tolerable and I should just stop worrying about it. We'll find out next time I am drivin...

I did do the install myself, have rotated and balanced, and did have the alignment checked as well. I guess the logical thing could be that one of the bearings isn't pressed on right, but I am pretty confident that when I pressed them on they were where they needed to be. I do have aftermarket wheel...

Does anybody have an old speaker or set of factory front door speakers that you could measure what the impedance is on them? I just want to get some speakers that match them so I can keep everything the same and not dig into the tweeters in the dash. I assume they are just mid-range drivers and not ...

Front Component Speakers

I know there are some threads about front speakers, but none of them have really answered the questions I have. My front left door speaker is rattling so I want to get some new speakers. From what I understand the woofer in the door and tweeter in the dash are wired in parallel to make a 4 ohm imped...

Wheel Bearing?

When I kick or grab my left front wheel at 9 and 3 with the vehicle on the ground, I have a looseness. Lug nuts are tight, no movement in the tie rod ends. I took the wheel off, and can get a little movement of the hub as well. When I jack up the car the movement goes away like it is putting more of...
