    I just bought a Subaru Forester, ** NEW QUESTION in old thread**

    From my experience it can be one of the axles knocking around in the steering knuckle. Usually this happens from the axle nut not being tightened enough. The noise will go away when load is placed on the axle in either drive or reverse.

    Anyone know how to change a headlight in a 2004 Civic?

    I own a 96 civic ex and changing out a headlight bulb requires removing the whole front bumper and taking the headlight housing off the car. This is all due to small metal supports completely blocking the backside of the housing making it impossible to change the bulb while its on the car...

    Car trouble, 06 Mustang

    I would also check the battery out, starting the with battery terminals. I have seen many times where a car will act odd electrically with even the slightest amount of corrosion on the terminals.

    Car stalls when AC is on

    I would agree with alpineranger, start by looking at your air bypasses in your throttle body, as well as the IAC. Carbon may have built up enough around them to the point that the IAC cant open up enough thus stalling your engine out.

    Oxygen sensor lead wire severed

    First rule with oxygen sensors is to replace them if any of the wires going into the sensor are damaged. This is because most oxygen sensors use the wires to supply oxygen to the middle of the sensor which allows the sensor the operate correctly. If a repair included soldering or connecting a...

    I'm having car problem, halp me superman!

    I would personally start by cleaning all current coolant off of the engine and thermostat housing.Make sure the coolant recovery tank is at the proper level, and that your radiator is full with coolant as well. Start the car and let it run like you did at your house and let it warm up and see if...

    '02 cavilier AC problems.

    Is the clicking sound the sound of the compressor clutch coming on and off? If so a possible explanation could be a slipping belt. Some compressors have sensors which can sense when the compressor shaft isn't turning as fast as it should and tells the compressor clutch to cycle off to prevent...

    Need a diagnoses on my A/C

    It sounds to me like you have a blend-door problem. If the air blowing out of the ducts is warmer than the outside air, then this points to something that is putting a heat-load on the air your blower is blowing. If your compressor clutch does in fact engage, and stays engaged for a long period...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Just got in contact with Dell Customer service regarding the MSI 8800gt video card and they said the order was canceled because they no longer carry it, so I assume everyone else that ordered one when it was around $207 has been canceled as well, unless someone else can verify they are still legit.

    Enabling HyperTransport

    Recently by looking through various programs, such as 3dmark06, I noticed that when it says HyperTransport, it says it is not enabled, or it is N/A. Is there a certain way of enabling it? I could have sworn my mobo, a Asrock Dual SATA2, and my Athlon 3200 Venice supported it. Any help would be...

    Yes, the TT BT will be coming with 2 brackets that go on top of the heatsink, and underneath the motherboard. I assume the stock plastic bracket that is attached to the mobo is easy to remove?
