    Dealers are generally higher priced from higher overhead, but you must relize a lot of chains both in the U.S. and Canada, deal on sales. A lot of specials are really designed to get you in the door, then "upsell you" A smaller independent shop with a qualified and licensed mechanic is the best...

    Dodge Durango Front Passenger Window Removal... '99-03?

    Take a look at the window track frame and look for 2 mounting nuts. Most newer windows have holes in the glass and bolt direct to the track. When you get the replacement glass it will probably make it simple for you. I have done a few Chrysler front windows and they are not that hard...

    What you need is a brake job, exhaust system, and a suspension check and replacement plus a few front end parts. Cost..ball park close or better than a grand. Better to leave it and move up to a newer one since you were going to anyway. Maybe sell off some parts from the old girl good luck.

    1998 Ford Taurus power steering problems. Can anyone tell me where it might

    If the rest oif the car is worth the fix, install an exchange rebuilt steering rack, because you can't successfully reseal these things. The rack is wore out and the seals can't hold the pressure from worn bores and bushings, ok. good luck

    Repair or Junk 2003 ford focus?

    You have to decide if the engine and the rest of the car is worth another 2000 investment. It's a lousy deal had the same thing happen to me years ago. One advantage is you'll know the trans is good if you go ahead with the repair. good luck with it.

    My '92 Ford F-150 won't start! HELP!?

    Sounds like a fusible link went out or you lost a ground. Look for the chassis to cab ground being broken off. It's a small braided cable running off the firewall to the engine. Check all your harness plugs. To go out that quick it's something small and aggrivating.

    What's making my bike's front brake stick or seize?

    Two possibilities. 1 the brake hose has a "flap" internally and is not letting the brake fluid return to the master cylinder, or the caliper is no good and not releasing.

    You can paint fiberglass, it is just done using different base materials. No it doesn't have to be painted as the colour is mixed in already. Gloss coat? Is it dull? Then yes paint it.

    Has the cooling system ever been flushed and new coolant installed? You have a 12 almost 13 year old vehicle and it sounds like you have very poor circulation in the rad, which by now may also need replacing. good luck

    2003 Mazda Tribute Power Steering Rack n Pinion replacement costs?

    I live in Canada, but the price to me sounds reasonable. To answer the question, no if it's leaking in the boot, the end seals are out of it. It's not worth the time for a re seal because usually the bushings or the rack itself is worn too badly. Hope I helped a little. good luck
