• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Just helped a buddy put new PS pump on his jeep. It seems like I help fix more jeeps than anything around here. Tomorrow I'm doing a drive shaft for someone else. O well money for me

got me paranoid now.. I just did my front rotors and pads last weekend,but used never seize on the bracket bolts and then tapped tight with a 3lb mall...think I should probably lock-tite em? maybe back em out a bit and slam some lock-tite in..

The factory bolts come with lock-tite on them. I had one back completely out. Thankfully it was the lower one so gravity kept it back. Had it been a top one it would have fell forward and jammed in the wheel. There was a rash of incidents of those bolts coming lose at the time mine first happened.

I'll have to get some red loctite,thanks for the clarification..jeez,just spent 30 minutes reading some forum debates. Sounds like it could go either way,Butttt ,if it is something mission crucial,I would feel a whole lot better with some 'aint goin nowhere onit'

Ralm, your car looks pretty rust free. Those rocks love to rot out pretty bad right behind the fender. It doesn't matter how that weld looks, no one will ever see it. I would of picked up a fender that needed zero body work. They are a dime for a dozen around here.

Yea they don't really have any with the flare package though... so that sucks. But I found that one so i'll call it good
 
my aunt's car the bolts backed out.

now stealth, if I could, ask how long it was AFTER you had put the bolt in that it backed itself out? I just did brakes as well (and I've had em off a million times before that) and I've never used loctite or anything. What's your opinion?

Just for clarification, its not the caliper bolts themselves, but the bracket bolts. The ones you have to remove to change the rotors. It happened around a week later if I remember right. If I looked back through this thread I could tell you exactly. LOL

For me, only one backed out, but that one backing out, along with the rash of other incidents around the same time is enough evidence for me to use lock-tite on them for now on.
 
Mine worked fine except it died if I let it sit 4 days. Which is usual. I wanted something with more reserve.

So since I started running 93 octane with no ethanol instead of regular cheap gas I've noticed a huge difference. Car responds and runs better....wish I had of used it way earlier
