The evap system is a large array of hoses and components, any of which could be a failure point. Under your hood there is a diagram of the evap system. You can start by visually inspecting the hoses. A common one is the hose tree with check valves near the purge valve on the intake manifold. The bes...

I don’t know why abscate keeps telling us to replace pinch bolts. I think it’s fake news, hogwash…..

First off, ECM (Engine Control Module) and CEM (Central Electronic Module) are two very different modules on this car. I haven't heard of vtech, the main reputable shop in north america is Xemodex and they are usually pretty honest (if CEM tests fine on their bench usually they just ship it back to ...

The two on the right have hydraulic fluid in them. They are referred to as the front and rear lower engine mounts.

I've read reports that using anti seize on the balljoint splines can cause hydrolock and prevent it from seating flush with the knuckle. Antiseizer should be fine on the splined end of the axle for the wheel bearing though. Use sparingly.

I have had good luck with them aside from ball joints. I grease the zerk fittings whenever I remember to.

Replaced both strut assemblies on my XC today with FCS quick struts for $250 CAD all-in. Manufactured in Detroit using Chinese components. Lifetime warranty, and honestly one of the easier jobs I’ve ever done on this vehicle. So low risk for me. Rattle is now gone. Nothing was salvageable on the old...
