Just wondered when you top suckers inspect your underside
Just wondered when you top suckers inspect your underside :-
i.e. Power rack & pinion seal & steering boots,
steering joints for wear,
engine oil & coolant leaks ,
radiator for insect build up & leaks,
exhaust system for damage,
underside guard stone damage
not to mention brake calipers for early sign piston seal leaks ,
transmision rear seal leak ?
condition of engine mounts ,any evidence of leak,
how are your tail shaft universals & driverubbers?.
While your under there how about checking your
diff for seal leaks,
drive shaft boots for damage &
rear brakes lines for stone damage.
Recently saw massive rust damage to sub frame on this site.The owner had no idea until it broke & caused this rear wheels to go wobbly.
All can be done in an extra 10 minutes whilst opening that little drain plug at the bottom of the sump.
Neaderthals? no just people who don't have their head in the sand & don't mind lying on there back for a few minutes hah hah.

C'mon they never check..and that fear of the underside of their car and getting dirty will keep them slaves to the stealership and losing 800 bucks to change out their transmission fluid because there is no fancy suck machine to do that ...you have to man up, get dirty, lay on your back and drop the pan from under the car....

OMG..As I mentioned above...check thread below......biggest advocate of sucking oil proves my point. This oil sucker would never do the trans fluid himself...if he did he wouldn't be asking this question...

No point in lying about it, I've never done any car related studies nor do I have the time or facilities to learn how to do certain things myself, I know bits about cosmetic changes but thats about it.
