Toyota - Prius :: 2006 - Shredded Tire And Falling Off Rim On Parked Car?

2006 Prius. Parked it last night and it was fine. Woke up this morning to a shredded tire, falling off the rim. (Right front tire). Question, can this possibly happen while parked? Maybe thieves tried to steal the tire but could not? Or, did our teenage son sneak out with the car and damage the tire?

Ford Excursion :: 2000 - Rear Tire Wears Too Rapidly?

I've got a 2000 Ex that goes through rear tires like they're candy. I am running 37" tires and they wear very quickly on the inside. I do have a positrac rear end but i don't think it's functioning as the last time i tested it only one tire spun out. (not sure if that makes a difference)

So since this is a solid rear axle there's not really any alignment that can cause the insides to wear prematurely is there? The front tires wear fine with no issues. Anything I should check? Right now the insides are bald again so I'm going to have to buy another set of tires but since this last set lasted me about 8 months Id really like to see if i can solve this problem before putting new tires on it.

Ford Excursion :: 2002 F250 - Rear Tire Goes Out Sidewall Blow

So rolling down I29 and its cold and the wind is howling. Rear tire goes out sidewall blow. Thinking load rating of C is not enough for the EX?

Anyways not a big deal cause I'm smart! I checked my spare and all the stuff I need to change it cause i'm prepared. Go to put the tire iron on that I removed from under the hood perfect fit too. Guess what, it is way to small for the lugs. Luckily I had earned some karma points the day before working for a guy with a 02 F250 7.3 who's alternator died. A guy in a suburban stopped and his wrench was close enough to crack the nuts.

So after searching and not finding much my two questions are. Any replacement for the factory tire iron that bolts under the hood? Is there another vehicle other then an Ex I can take it from? I like the idea of it being there bolted down under the hood.

What load rating is everyone running and or recommends. I noticed my spare was an F lol which is far from C. My EX is 7.3 and She was loaded heavy with black friday goods.

Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Will Different Tire Tread Depth Hurt Rear Axle?

Proud new owner of a 2001 Excursion with 7.3. The gentleman I bought the X from had four Michelin LTX M/S2's. 285/75/R16. Looks like they had plenty of tread left so I was happy, until I got home and noticed a large slice in the side wall of the right rear.( approx 2" long and 1/4"deep.). I will be towing a 8000 lb trailer with three kids. Went to big tire store and they replaced one tire. They said it would be fine with different depth. (Exact same tire). When I got home I looked at tread, has noticeable difference in depth. Looks like 3.5MM diff from what I measured. My question is this, will this be ok or will this possible damage the rear end having slightly diff overall size?

Golf/GTI VII :: Tire Pressure Loss On Rear Left Tire?

I'm having an obvious tire pressure loss on my rear left tire. Fill it up and in a few days I get the warning. I don't see any holes or anything. My question is this. Whats the cheapest route to go about this? I bought the car in June, so wondering if warranty would even cover tires? Is it worth a try? Not sure if I should take to the dealer to check it out, or just a town fair tire place.

Ford Aerostar :: 1992 - Serpentine Belt Shredded

I was driving the other day (cold weather- approx 15 F), and my serpentine belt shredded. Managed to drive a mile or so to my driveway. The belt was shredded on the fan side (and had come completely off), but it wasn't torn in two. Got a new belt and installed it, but upon test-cranking, found that it was riding up one ridge on the crank. All the other ribbed pulleys were fine (PS, AC). The smooth pulleys had the belt move a little, however.

Thinking I didn't set it right, I reinstalled the belt on the crank and tried again. Same result (belt rides up one groove, towards the fan). I perused the archives, and one comment was that someone simply trimmed one groove off the belt and everything was happy. The belt found it's "groove", and didn't act up anymore. Doesn't fix the underlying problem, but

1) is this a good fix
2) any clue what is going on?
3) Do I need to get the crank fixed?

BTW, I am sure that I threaded the belt on correctly!

1992 Aerostar, 4.0L, AWD. AC+P/S....

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Door Wiring Flex Harness Shredded

First I lost the power window functionality in the rear left door... didn't think too much of it, then I lost the power door lock functionality, which was bad because I was assuming my door was getting locked when it wasn't actually. Pulled open my door this evening and found this:

I think my truck overheard me when I was saying "I like a good electrical problem, those are my favorite." I'll solder it up to get it working tonight, and then I'll see what a new harness costs... although really they should have used ultra-fine-strand wire with silicone insulation for an application that sees lots of flexing.

My multimeter's test leads are such an example of wiring that is intended to see lots of flexing.

Ford Excursion :: Distance Between Tire And Inner Wheel Well

I have 265/75 R16 tires and 11 inches between the rear tires and the top of the inner wheel well and 9 inches between the front tires and top of the inner wheel well. I can't tell if the springs are stock or not. Does this distance seem like the stock distance?

Ford Excursion :: Tire Balance / Vehicle Shaking At 60 - 78 Mph

I have a shake at 60-78 mph. Have had the tires balanced three times, last balance is beter. I'm thinking of switching the wheels from my 05 F250 to the 03 Excursion to verify a tire problem. Will the factory F250 17" wheels fit for the test? Both are 4x4 vehicles. The truck rides smooth.

Ford Excursion :: 2003 - Tire Sizes For Lift?

I have a 2003 excursion 4X4 on factory 16" wheels. I want to keep my same wheels. Want to install 7" lift. How big of tire can I go? I was looking at the 345/75R16 and 365/75R16 BFG Mud Terrains. Not many manufacturers are making big tires for 16s. I want to go as big as I can without cutting or spacers. Will NOT put any type of Super Swamper. This truck will never see mud.

Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Front Tire Wear On Both Outer Edges

I have am 01 6.8 two wheel Limited. about 150K. My question is about both the front tires having more wear on both the inner and outer edges. The inner is a bit more but not by much.

I have been keeping very close track of my air pressure because I know the usual suspect is low air pressure but I am running 75psi and the max sidewall reads 80psi. I have never had it below 72psi. The truck tracks and steers down the road very nice with no drift or pull to either side. wheel balance is good.

Front end align is good. I have no issues with how she drives down the road. Everything seems to be checking out to be in spec..?

Ford Excursion :: Tire Rubbing Sound On Slightest Bit Of Turning Effort?

So I just completed my hydroboost install and fixed exhaust manifolds. After this install the below problem started.

ISSUE: While going slow and straight no problems. Slightest bit of turning effort left or right makes a sound like a tire rubbing on leaf springs. I can also feel the vibration. It happens in drive while moving or in neutral while moving. Happens wither hubs in auto or locked. Happens in 2wd or 4wd. It's not the steering pump cause it wines a tad now when brakes applied and I turn steering wheel. So I know what that sounds like. Expected that.

Jacked it up and checked for any movement in steering or ball joints and found nothing.

X does not make the sound above 15 mph. It's annoying....sounds and feels exactly like tire lugs hitting the leaf springs but they are not.

I have had a Clicking noise on my 2000 x 4x4 since 6 months coming from the front right side tire noticeable over rough roads or over bumps and I went on a journey starting with ford dealer to almost all well recognized service centers and every body says your front suspension is ok and no one seems to know where it is coming from. I thought it was my hub bearing since it fails almost every year but when I was changing the bearing, I noticed a big Excessive play in axle.

Also I noticed oil mixed with grease the grease is prawny with a reddish sort of color or that is some thing else.

Any way after replacing the hub Bearing with a used one and butting every thing together I went on a test drive. Noticed that the vehicle drive line is not right the car seems to wonder and the noise still there so i didn't get far i came right back and park my x then a funny burned oil smell was present.

Is it some thing i did wrong or is it bad situation gone worst ?
