If your steering wheel shakes while breaking 99% of the time it's either the inner or the outer tie rod ends but its always best to replace both at the same time.

Why do you put black and white together? Will it work if that’s not done?
@fixwhat11372 ай бұрын
Hi GnarledSage, the black and white wires are the ground and neutral wires. In electrical circuits, the neutral wire carries the current, and the ground wire is there just in case there is a short or fault in the circuit. Yes you can use just one of the wires. If I remember correctly, I believe its the white wire that you can use by itself. Instead of one of the wires hanging around and not connected to anything, I just connected both of the wires. Thank you for the question.

Just had a lot of pitted rust on relatively new rotors (1 year old) but the car was not used much and the rain had caused a lot of rust especially where the brake pads were touching. Just lost my job, have 4 kids... Sanded and sanded by hand like this but finally used a disk with velcro attachment. 80 grit. Went through 10 sheets easily (they clog up pretty fast) was careful to try to sand everything evenly. In the end the results were good, however, in hindsight it was barely worth it. Read rotors cost $40 canadian each, front vented rotors probably under $80. I saved money but now i have rust dust all over the driveway, probably burnt 1 years worth of brush life from my electic drill. The sanding disks weren't free, the velcro is now peeling off the sanding disk holder, and my back hurts from sanding for hours. (At least 20-30 min per rotor I would say). As I was doing it all i could say in my defense is that "its good for the environment not to throw out these mostly working rotors" other than that i had some pride that I "did it myself" but thats about it. Not worth it, your brakes will be perfect with nice new rotors. And i agree, if your rotors are warped, its not even going to fix the problem!
@zino6661Ай бұрын
I went through the same as you. My car is almost brand new and new rotor, but sat on my driveway for long time without being driven. The rotor developed embedded rust. I tried with sanding machine with 36 grit and then 80 , 120 but still feel the rough surface. $100 for OEM rotor each.

What if this happened AFTER an oil change and oil pan gasket replacement? I'm still slowly dripping oil from the bottom (silver dollar size over night) and my oil was low 1 quart after 1300 miles. They diagnosed and fixed a leaky oil pan gasket, but that def wasn't the problem. Then BAM two days later these lights. It didn't throw a code at two shops. And the lights will randomly go off for a few days. I'm thinking oil sensor? Help! 2008 Sub Outback 136,xxxx Thank you for your channel!

Where I live, the back of the rotor always gets rusty and grooved. What I like to do is take them off and slide the rotors flat against the asphalt road, turning them frequently. After about 15 minutes, the back will be completely resurfaced.

Keep the oem charger just being powered up by the laptop charger?
@fixwhat11378 ай бұрын
Hello sabiya2, I appreciate it thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. To answer your question though, I'm not sure. What if your charger is the issue, the internals of your charger such as the circuit board inside. If you power the charger but the internals are broken, it still may not charge your battery. That is just my opinion. You do have an interesting idea though.
@fixwhat11378 ай бұрын
Hello sabiya2, just a quick update, I might have misunderstood your question, if you meant to remove the circuit board inside the charger and connect the laptop charger to the leads of the charger directly bypassing the circuit board inside the charger, then that might work. The downside is that you will probably be able to charge only one type of battery. You can only charge batteries that can fit in that charger. But still, what a great idea.

Hi thanks for your reply, ok so an update, what I did was I connected the laptop charger directly to the pins on the inside of the original cordless charger, so now I just slide the battery into the charger and it works with no issues. Thanks man
