    Upper right "control arm" needed, which brand do I buy?? Do I even need it???

    I feel like I am getting ripped off by a mechanic I thought I could trust, because I fix one thing and now so many other things also need to be "fixed". It's BS and might end up costing me 1K in the long run. For a 15 year old car that I bought for $2,500 and won't be using for more than another...

    Can someone tell me if my instrument cluster lights are working??

    Thanks for helping me so much. What do U think is the best solution?? Replacing the bulb won't actually light up the secondary numerals if it's already limited to just lighting up the primaries right? My only option (not easy/cheap/fast) is to find the correct aftermarket cluster yes?? One...

    Can someone tell me if my instrument cluster lights are working??

    The switch on the left, when I turn it on at night, the instrument cluster lights come on, radio/ac lights come on.... when I turn it a second time, nothing happens.

    Need Quick Advice. Rear bearing making noise - when should I get it fixed?

    You can hear a loud whining noise when driving from 70-100KM/h+. At 40-60km/h it's still noticeable but not that bad. Two mechanics say it has to be fixed immediately (safety issue). Another says 1-2 months. Another says 6 months. When should it be changed? How much does it cost...

    HOOD on 2000 Accord V6 won't close...please help a newbie out

    I guess I should have been paying attention more because I can't close my hood for some reason. I know the mechanic played around with the lever somewhere to close it but I just spent 1 hour fiddling around with no result. Note: it closes but there's still 1-2 inch so it's not closing 100%...
