I need two stands to replace my sprockets and pull a fork off and rebuild that as well, these stands are cheap and I was going to buy the front and rear set, but I don't like that universal word. I don't have the $ for pitbull stands so don't suggest that but what do you think of these? (I'm planning on anchoring the bike from the handlebars when it's up)
Is there another brand/site you would recommend?

I figure anything is better than putting a 2X4 on my car jack and sliding it under the swingarm!

I bought my car (used) 2 months ago. Before I bought it, I had asked the salesman if this car had ever been in an accident. With his manager next to him, he quickly told me no. So, i believed him. Last week, my car started having transmission problems. I took it in to get fixed, and after I picked it up it seemd to be working fine. The next day, not only was the original problem back, but there was a knocking sound everytime I turned my wheel. My friend who works at another dealership took my car and had his body shop look at it. Turns out, my car HAD been in an accident only a few weeks before I had purchased it. When they put it on a lift, the saw that there was a block of wood screwed in between the subframe and the body, and it was pusing up against my brakeline. The subframe was new, it still has the sticker one it, so this was something the dealership did. Anyways, I want to sue the dealership, but is it going to be worth it? And what are the steps I need to take?

Can anyone help me figure out what happened? I was driving my truck and it just died like it was out of gas..It had gas and I put in more and primed the carburator..it started for 1 second and then died. There was no warning that pump or filter was about to go. It had been running fine. it has 4.3 fuel injection engine. I cannot afford it if it is going to be something high priced to fix it. so I would like to know before I take it to the mechanic..Any help will be appreciated.

Is it okay to have an intercooler in your car without haveing a turbo or a supercharger? Or is an intercooler just another form of cooling down your car? Because I think I may get an intercooler now and get a turbo later, because I see a turbo very close in my future.

background info: 93 mazda mx6, high miles, fairly new fuel pump, new plugs, new wires, new disti, new disti cap.

hints: coolant reservoir looks almost empty, oil is low.
Everything electrical is fine, new battery clean terminals. Pump turns on with ignition, bright lights on dash. lots of crank.

Also, last week the car wouldn't start on hills, so i replaced the fuel filter and bam it started on a dime. But 3 days ago when i booted her up, it was idleing at 3000 rpm! The most i've ever seen in cold weather was 2000...when i drove that day, i noticed it was boggin down a bit when i was giving it more gas. The next day the temp dropped very far below freezing.

Could it be clogged fuel injectors or should i put antifreeze in the gas tank?
Or could it be the thermostat...pcm or egr? Also please explain in detail how to replace or clean parts per your suggestion...would help a lot :)

thanks

I keep seeing this in various MSN business reports. I have discussed it with a car trade expert.His reply was that on profit from car sales, it was an impossibility and that if it were talked about in reverse i.e. VW to buy Porsche, then that was possible, so, any ideas ?

It appears that I need new rear shocks because someone hit the back of my wheel. I have a 2004 Toyota Solara and shocks is running between $900(self owned) and $1200(dealer). This condition is wearing my back tires out quick. I have bought two set of used tires is 3 months and they keep going ball. Also my steering wheel is off and the back of my car wiggles when I go over a bump or rain out side. I cant afford them right now. Some people say I just need an allignment. The dealer claim they cant do an alignment without doing the whole job. Is that true? Is it safe ? For some reason I think if I get an allignment it will fix the problem.
