  4. Strut Pinch Bolt Torque Spec Not Enough

    Replaced the struts today on my Civic with Monroe Quick Struts. Pinch bolts torqued to 58 lbs-ft per manual. Struts still loose, moved around in knuckle/hub. Torqued bolts tighter in 5 lbs-ft increments. It took until 70 lbs-ft to prevent movement. Final torque to 80 lbs-ft Why did I have to...
  5. NordVPN killed CarPlay

    Update: Issue has been resolved. It appears when I toggled on the ā€œstay invisible on a local networkā€ feature, it doesnā€™t allow CarPlay to connect. CarPlay stopped working.

  9. Misfires: are they typical?

    I was using my OBD scanner tool to read live data while driving across the country and noticed there were two misfires on cyl 2 and 1 misfire in cyl 3. This was after 4 hours constant driving. I THINK I had done a WOT pull to get on the interstate and maybe once or twice to pass a couple people...

  11. Amp power wire connection: under hood fuse block feed

    THE AMP POWER cable IS NOT BEING CONNECTED THROUGH ANY OF THE VEHICLE'S FUSES! I had to say that first because I already know I'm going to get people saying never connect an amp through a fuse block... (I'm NOT). Typically, the amp (+) power cable is connected to the (+) battery terminal...
