Hy Buddies, I am looking for tolerance values for the FENIX 5.2 ignition coil. Any of you have them, for the primary and secondary circuits ? Do i mean correctly the way to measure ?

Had the pleasure of replacing a balljoint today. Axle seal won’t be in until tomorrow so I kept myself busy after work. What a joke! Air hammer they said. Brass punch they said. I tried both for well over an hour to no avail. Had to use a 3lb sledge hammer with an extremely hard pointed chisel to sl...

Already bid up to $8000...

Weird noise from lower suspension while moving the car off the driveway. Kind of a knocking noise. Wife returns later from shopping and brings me a nut with a short piece of broken bolt in the nut. WOW! This was from a broken lower control arm bolt. The long part of the bolt fell out and was missing...
