stfu oh my gosh ha ha ha sweet.
im going to napa now!

Ok, here's one for you, there are such things as muffler bearings,really. I forget what year it is IIRC the Mazda 626 Cronos has muffler bearings. There is a butterfly valve on one of the exhaust tips on the muffler that is hinged, therefore it requires the so called muffler bearing. This valve is opened and closed in relation to throttle position.

As for the left-handed monkey wrench, which is now what we call an adjustable wrench, there is such thing as a left handed version. The screw adjuster is operated the oppsite of the regular version.

So...........

we were on a roll there for awhile

Oh yeah?!?! Well what about blinker fluid?! Huh? Huh?


Try to stomp that fire out!!



Ahaha j/k.

stipro - Yeah, actually, several late-model cars have moving parts in the exhaust like that... I doubt the bearing of the butterfly valve is actually replaceable, but if it is, it would be awesome if Mazda listed in the parts catalog as a "muffler bearing."

beatersubi - But those aren't adjustable!

asc_up - And don't forget to clean and lubricate the bulb's filaments while you're in there! But don't use too much filament lube; a little goes a long way.

I know where blinker fluid can be from.......VW in recent years had a problem with fluid in the rear lights. Once you open it up, it's green slick fluid. WTF!!!! it ended up being the coolant temp sensor leaking into the harness, and eventually pumping coolant throughout the whole car into the taillights through the harness. hence: blinker fluid!

LOL how in the world did VW manage that one??

it's VW.

except the new scirocco looks so sexy

Ah, so that is what that metal/plastic contraption is in the right rear of my car that makes so my speaker (non-stock) not fit.

well, somebody needs to find me a box of GRID SQUARES

It's a commonly neglected maintenance task, but you'll pay. You definitely don't want to have to replace those bearings -- you have to use a left-handed monkeywrench and it's a pain. For a little extra insurance, use synthetic blinker fluid and then even if it runs out you'll still be okay for a short while.

Vikash, I just drove my car to Oklahoma, so uh, I'm probably out. Can you tell me where the tank is on the wagon? Oh, and with the old seals in my lights, won't going to synthetic blinker fluid cause leaks?

The new z06 vette actually has a muffler bearing. Because of the valve that opens to change exhust tone.

klaxed-if its the box your talking about, then its the automatic seatbelt thing. if you unplug it, the auto seatbelts wont move.
